For a ruckman to get 28 possessions
23 contested
539 metres gained
37 hit outs
12 clearances
11 tackles

I don’t care what you say, that is a huge game!!!

That was Wilkie

Marshall was enormous

23 contested possessions

A StK all time record - since that data has been recorded

We kicked 7-11 Even if we kicked 11-7 that is still shitfull Our ball movement s*** Connection is s*** Forward structure is s*** Skills are s*** And we had 6 months of training to work on all those facets Today was like it was our first pre season game and everyone was rusty and the GP wasn’t yet em...

We played Hind out of position

Let’s not let the truth get in the way of a good story

The 2019 trade period has gotten us to 2 finals series and meant we were competitive for a few years

But it in hindsight should’ve been a rebuild

I think the kids have a bit of talent - especially Wilson But when there are better more experienced options- I’m not sure why they get a game They show little glimpses- which is great for first year players But those little glimpses gonna help us win games Right now Is Hugo Garcia or Angus Hastie a...

Campbell is a huge out

It was a diversion tactic

The media became more interested in bloody runners than about why we kicked 7 goals and average about 9 goals per game!!!

Both

Our ball movement is painful- connection is terrible and poor skill errors don’t help

But the fact we don’t score and the opposition don’t indicates a defensive game style

Senior players gone at seasons end 32 - Tom Campbell 31 - Seb Ross 30 - Brad Crouch 29 - Zac Jones 29 - Tim Membrey Senior Players kept 30 - Brad Hill 29 - Mason Wood 29 - Jack Sinclair 28- Rowan Marshall 28 - Jack Steele 27 - Cal Wilkie Uncontracted 28 - Jack Hayes Unsure 30 - Jimmy Webster 27 - Ri...

We won the clearances

Won possession count

Won i50s

Lost the game - poor system

Just that former players who we thought were s***

Seemed to be going ok elsewhere

I watched that presser

He said that he believed the list had under achieved and was capable of more

Questions over standards was what he alluded to

And what does that mean?

Perhaps if we did not - we wouldn’t be 3-6

Gresham 18 possessions

Nick Hind 20 possessions

In a win vs GWS

I like what Essendon have done!

Don’t know how they did it?

But they have a solid list now - will be top 8 for the next 3-4 years

Are you talking to me or the other BM?

You assumed right

See, it’s not that hard!

Hopefully you assume this reply is to you?!

Btw
BM is me
bob murray is bob murray

A rebuild

That’s not what Basset thinks, Ross thinks and what was suggested at the start of the season.

If we are in a rebuild who are our top DPs driving our rebuild
Wilson 18
Phillipou 10
NWM 11
Owens 33
Byrnes 53


Not exactly the Harley Reid, Nick Daicos level!

We are a middling list playing bottom 4 football

Rebuilding to me Means you are changing your core and building a different list There is also and element of bottoming out for a few years to get access to the best talent to build a new core We still have Steele, Sinclair, Hill, Butler, Marshall, Ross, Membrey Pretty much all from Ratten’s list and...

The inverse peacock

His body language is deplorable
