King will play according to Ratten.

If he doesn't come up then please play Battle at full forward and King at CHF. Then stack the rest of the forward line with quick smalls.

Of the players we delisted, helped retire or lost, including Steven and Bruce, I thought Acres might be the goose that got away...bit like a McEvoy. Haven't seen much of Acres, but he had better be good if you are comparing him to Hill. Hill is the classiest touch player we have..no? Hill is an ove...

We should absolutely destroy Hawthorn. They will have had 4, 4, and 5 day rests between their last few games compared to our 6, 5 and 7 day breaks. For once we will be the much fresher side and Hawthorn's confidence would be shattered after being the first team beaten by Adelaide this year. If we c...

You'd imagine the internal blowtorch will be in full force after last nights loss will not be an easy match by any stretch, especially if our confidence is waning and the pressure of finals is mounting need to stick to the plan, follow the process and not F it up like we did against the dees! give ...

I was always against trading him. I said 2 years ago that I thought he would be our best player in 5 years time.

Such a sook. Have you received a reply from BfUSA or Kosi yet from your report? I still find it hard to believe you're still here after what you said about Jack Billings. But you are on strike 3 & user ID 6, 7 or 8...we lose count. <the answer is yes and you have been banned for a day> <the ans...

Who we giving up folks???? Can’t see us landing without offering .. We don't need to give up anyone. Grab Zak Williams and Crouch as FA's. Trade out Dunstan and another couple of players for picks and salary cap relief. Bundle picks together and move up the draft order. Take all picks to the Draft....

Hind, Kent and Geary out for Carlisle, Parker and Bytel.

Bookies know s***.

So let me get this clear. 1) We are seriously barracking for Sydney to beat Melbourne. 2) Adelaide to throw everything at the Hawks and for them to draw. (With Hawk injuries and reports) 3) West Coast to get easy victories and then relax and rest players for the finals in the round we meet them. 4)...

I would love to get Papley but his cost with picks and salary cap would be too much. But imagine next year if we could add Zak Williams to our midfield as FA and then have Gresham and Papley in the forward pockets. Then also add a fit Hanna's as well....Top 4 for sure. If Hanna's isn't married find ...

he's played 1 good quarter out of 8. My definition of rolling up the sleaves is 8 good quarters out of 8. Especially when your team needs you, when the game is very winnable and a win can establish your credibility as a top 4 contender like against the Lions or like when a win can secure you a fina...

Round 13 If we had played 4 quarters of solid football and won against the Lions by the 9 points required to take beat their percentage we would have jumped them to 4th on the ladder. 6 days later we also drop our bundle and lose to Melbourne. Today in the cold light of dawn I ran the Squiggle AFL ...

No offense Devil but Champion Data is a joke. It was invented by a very smart operator who sold it for a million dollars. I do not take any notice of their stats.
Just remember this, "Bad kicking is bad football".

I hate to admit it but Shithouse did say one thing I agree with. Ratts should not be on the boundary line. By all means have one of the assistants down there but he needs to be in the box. This is the best way for him to see how the game is unfolding.

Shades of 2017, 18 and 19. I thought we’d left the bomb behind but last night showed our lack of creativity. What’s that saying....”those who do not learn from history are condemned to repeat it.” We’re a young team and hopefully we will learn this time around. Go Saints! Lets hope we have learned....

Recent history suggests we will not. We as a club have been incapable of winning a crunch game for a decade - there is no lived experience of triumph in the face of serious challenge and opportunity. Knowing we have to win next week and probably one of the other two is the cue to bring out the don'...

If the guys played like they did versus Swans and Power, could win 2 of them.

At the moment, the team would struggle to beat Noosa Ladies Bowls Team

Ignore.

If you are going to be like that then go and post on the Essendon site ffs.

Otiman wrote: ↑Sun 30 Aug 2020 3:04pm That's two posts wanting Parker in. I just don't see what he brings to the team. Gets less of it than Kent.

He brings hardness, pace and that “X” factor that we are sorely missing.

If you look at the ladder carefully you will realise that if we beat Hawthorn we will still scrape into the final 8 even if we lose our last 2 games to Eagles and Giants. You best look again as I do not believe you looked at it carefully at all. Also take note that we have played 14 games. GWS and ...

Everyone just cool your jets until next Sunday. I just hope that they have learned their lesson to not just bomb the ball to the ...

Everyone is coming down hard on Mick Malthouse for expressing his view of what he thought occurred at the time. I didn't hear the whole interview, but perhaps he could have been more sensitive by prefacing that his perception at the time was or whatever....but I'm not sure he deserves to be publicl...
