AFL app shows GlennLuffs inside 50 numbers to be wrong....we had 47 to Collingwood's 51...

No, we just need to win.

Interesting that all the players that came into the side on Sunday had good games. T Mac, Spargo, Fritsch, Hannan, Weids. No fatigue from Anzac Day eve. If the 4 day break fatigue thing is true hopefully more changes this week. I just hope we keep taking the game on and try our best. If we win we win but it's more how they play for me.

That [censored] Lyon will do us in again. FFS. Not taking them lightly on their day they can beat anyone as evidenced by smashing Richmond last year. Three days ago everyone was saying how bad we were. A week is a long time in football.

Goodwin finally moved loose players back behind the Essendon forwards in the second half. That stopped them scoring out the back. Would like to see him react quicker.

Fkn Weids taking a few marks. Getting some confidence son.

Spargo a smart footballer. Couldn't hit ANB bit put it to advantage.

If we bring the pressure he won't be kicking many. Maybe 2-3 goals then who's their 2nd best forward? Orazzia?

Completely disagree. The problem is the game plan and not the players. We were one of the highest scoring sides last year. What has happened? Goodwin thought he had to evolve but he didn't.

Last year when we didn't rush it forward and over possess every peanut said we need to kick it more. Tonight shows why that isn't true. We need to go back to a high possession/high handball game plan than a quick kick it forward one. We don't have contested marking players so it doesn't work. Goodwin will take a few years to learn but most here have no patience.

Clearly a negative sentiment on Demonland for this kid because of his size. Anyone got the thread when we drafted Watts in 08? Would love to know the sentiment then out of curiosity.

I don't understand. If Lever is out of contract, why do we have to give the Crows anything at all for him?

Everyone is under estimating the value of games experience here. Why do you think North Melbourne finished 15th this year? Losing about 1200 games experience across 4 players will do that. Those guys are replaced with kids. We have no retirees this year which is a good thing.

Teams that will decline slightly next year due to experienced player departures: Hawthorn (Hodge), Bulldogs (Boyd, Murphy), Saints (Riewoldt, Montagna), West Coast (Mitchell, Priddis)

Pretty sure Kelly was a demons supporter as a kid. Can this be confirmed by one other person?

Lol @Watts as a tall forward. How many contested marks this year?

Don't forget our winning ratio with Lewis in the side vs out. It's something like 80% vs 20%. That my friends, should be all that matters.

Agree he was average but who comes in for him today? Nobody comes to mind.
