Sharp will be a lock on the wing for the first game. His endurance and workrate are exactly what we need on the other wing if Windsor is going to half back. On another note, went to watch Essendon train yesterday and out sessions had way more running, match sim and full contact within. We train much harder than them but it may have been a 1/2 loading session in their defence.

I just dropped our first round (27 picks in total) mock draft on YouTube. Have a look and let me know what you think:

We don't have Grundy's. Got away with that one as it is between the Pies and Brodie.

Petty- No pre-season Oliver - No pre-season Melbourne - Didn't pick them

I know and I like it. Let's be honest with ourselves that we would not be challenging the top end due to a lot of factors so why not make something of the backend. Can't keep going to the BBB, Schache, Billings well, otherwise we'll lose another Bedford or Jordan.

I feel for the guy as I have no doubt he is trying but confidence in himself and potentially his body is holding him back. He virtually had no preseason and we expected him to dominate from Round 1 which was never going to happen. I honestly believe the club, like Oliver, should not have played him if there were better options available as BBB and Shache aren't it.

I am still amazed that with our midfield capability and connection issues with the forwards that we don't have a midfield coach. Yes, you read that correctly.

You cannot be serious Brownie. If you are, admin needs to ban this person for stupidity.

All I want to know is that after three preseasons we still have no connection between our minds and forwards. How is that possible with all the coaching, training sessions, analytics, etc?

21 years old. FFS! Name another key forward his age we had access to averaging more than a goal game. Give the kid a break.

Not excusing the bad skills in the first half but the hard sessions leading in may have provided early fatigue until they ran it out of their system.

Based off his season so far he isn't wrong.

Where did you get these stats from?

Officially closed. Too many confirmed and unconfirmed issues that take up too much energy and focus on the goal at hand and I'd even say the hunger full stop is not the same.
