Why Jones and Ray? At least they are having a go. Gilbert has been a liability since 2010. Kosi and Blake should already be off the list.

Countless times in the first half there have been missed tackles or an Essendon player has waltzed away from a 50/50 situation and even had time to fumble. With all the smalls in the team this is completely unacceptable. Essendon have kicked a few flukey goals and had assistance from the umpires but...

Nathan Wright and Dylan Roberton look to be very good prospects. Stanley down back has been a revelation too.

what a stupid post ! Yeah , lets pay hundreds of thousand of dollars to two guys so they can hang up the boots . This will be there last year so you get them to do whatever's necessary to improve themselves and other's in the club . What is more pertinent is why are they still on the list? Kosi's c...

Kosi and Blake should hang them up unless they want to play at sandy which I doubt. We are rebuilding. Lets get on with it. Kosi's a club legend is he? Harvey is a club legend. Burke is a club legend. Kosi and Blake are not and nowhere near. Kosi has been a massive disappointment, regardless of the...

Ridiculous call.

The umpiring is a joke, absolutely hopeless. More importantly though we can still win this. Clog up the space better in their forward line and a bit of composure with the ball and we are a huge show.

Thought Siposs would get the journey easily there.

Newnes needs to show something tonight. Was awful last week.

Gilbert is dreadful. Granted, he's played some decent games when the team was flying but that was ages ago. Now he's a total liability, turns the ball over at will with his woeful kicking and makes little league mistakes. Back to Sandringham until he shows something.

Matty Lappin wasn't strong but he tackled and I don't recall him ever refusing to tackle or take clean possession of the ball.

Ridiculous call. Tonight is bitterly disappointing and an embarrassment but it's 1 game, like the round 1 game against the Teal last year.

Yes he kicked 3 goals but his refusal to tackle numerous times and take clean possession of the ball on several occasions was costly.

What a stupid thread. Back at the phone dome with our best team on the park we'll look a million bucks.

We'll beat Shitmound next week no problems.

How Kosi is still on our list and being paid good money is one of the world's great mysteries. Why is it so?

If Gilbert had actual football ability he would one of the best players in the league. Sadly he doesn't and will clog our list needlessly for a further 3 years.

Kosi was at the "cross roads" back in 2006. Yes he had a decent 2009 when the team was unbeatable but he's been incredibly disappointing all things considered. I'm surprised he's still on the list.

The decision that cost us multiple premierships was taking Ball over Judd.

"elite athletes like Justin Koschitske"?

The f---?

wow someone is angry seems like they just joined today after the trade system... think we did pretty well for ourselves and will continue that fashion in the draft Remember there is still good players available at our picks - there for we will get a backmen that we need.... somewhere.. Pretty sure ...

He's always injured and isn't very good is why. Norf dealt him for a reason.

Some harsh posts above regarding Wilkes. He did a good job in his stints as a forward. Clearly isn't a defender though. Wilkes will feature more than Kosi next season and rightly so.

I'd have to nominate Joffaboy. 16,000 or so considered, sensible and well articulated posts is testament to his passion for the site.

Cripps is no good and Wet Toast know it. Just another bust at the draft table from our recruiters.
