You're barking up the wrong tree 'master'. The club needs all the positive stories it can get; the last few years the only way we have hit the news is for bad news and more bad news.

Hayes will be lucky to play much this year with the hamstring. He has gone one year too many.

Remember Sydney were always comfortable with the ball in the oppositions forward half. Would be interesting to see the stats but I think in their last premiership Hawthorn had the ball in their half for a lot of the game but couldn't capitalise.

This doesn't ring true at all, it's out of the AFL's hands until the charges are handed over and that's ASADA's biz....and beer is often the serum of BS.

Stand by it mate, I think Kelly will be a good player and have seen him play. Tyson brings something else to the game that very few have and it's why he will be an elite mid. 2 years in the system is a bonus that the likes of Barrett and Denham don't get.

Was going to post similar 'Jack', also seemed a bit odd to me.

Think I will leave that one in 'bub', good pick up and probably makes more sense than what I intended.

Agree, and I think Robbo's gig may be on the line by the end of it. Maybe even that News exec with Bomber ties if Rupert doesn't get some award wining stories out of this.

I don't understand this comment from Little though Little said. ''They signed confidentiality agreements and we believed those would be respected.'' Did one of the players spill the beans or does he expect the rest of the world to be bound by agreements signed by Essendon players????

You can't fault his ball use, his style yes.

No, they do. It's just success covers up most things. I would be surprised if Garlett is still on a list in the next year or two but good luck to him.

I feel for the players here, they have not been charged yet and should not be named. The same as when a couple of ours were named which I believed at the time (and still do) was disgraceful journalism. However when infractions/suspensions come it's all gloves off, until that time the Herald Sun should shut the ....up. Rupert must have given Robbo and his boys a real kicking after Wilson played them on a break last year.

I think it looks about right. Probably Howe up the ground to play a more running HF role and Hogan in to FF rotating with Dawes and maybe Viney comes in if he has a good one against the Hawks. A fit Dawes and no more injuries then it's around the mark.

Riley is already on the LT injury list.

I think Georgiou is a lock for round 1.

I'm not sure he has any insistence at all, he's just not expecting them to be the match winners from game one and reckons they should earn a place in the side. Sounds fair to me.

Yep, and as I've said before Tyson will be a top 5 mid in the comp in the next couple of years and better chance of winning the medal before Kelly. I've seen nothing in the first couple of games to prove I'm wrong.

Interesting, still a lot of water to go under the bridge but those that were pushing for Garlett would have to have some doubts now.

On Watts...he was ok tonight. There was a $10mill man playing last night who struggled to get a touch. First run, ok.

This is one of Sam Blease's biggest problems. Can run the legs off anyone in the comp but goes to ground way too often, hard to beat someone on your hands and knees.

I think you are spot on, mainly because I just said exactly the same thing to a mate 20 mins ago.

look, I guess the style of game we're playing will show up a few players who aren't up to it...I don't think Geelong are great but we're missing our key players forward and back. Frawley, Garland, Dawes, Clark..by the way Georgio is safe, a real revelation.

Give him time mate.

Absolutely and so will Hogan. We're ok, hey we came back. The last few years we would be 10 goals down by now after the way we started.

Me neither 'Rhino'.
