Well Baldwin has something the majority of our list doesn't... the ability to kick accurately. I have heard that the current draft has a few exceptional recruits who are likely to fill the top 8-10 ... and then solid/OK players all the way down. The best outcome would be for us to use pick 8 on one...

I'm happy to make a contribution towards it Boncer.
When's it due? How often does it get renewed?
Surely there's a handful of us that can kick in a little bit each to cover it.

Jake Kelly retires Good Lord ... was he only with us for 3 years? It felt like an eternity. Just one more to go and I'll be happy enough ... I am even coming around to us keeping Goldstein on the list ONLY AS EMERGENCY if Draper or Bryan get injured. FYI ... that makes 6 spots on the list (5 main, ...

From the club: With the 2024 campaign coming to an end, a small group of Essendon players will undergo medical treatment for late-season injuries this week. Small forward Jye Menzie had successful shoulder reconstruction surgery on Monday, with the 21-year-old to start November’s pre-season training...

Stringer has triggered a performance clause in his contract to get a one year contract extension. It would not surprise me if Goldstein also has a performance trigger for an extension in his contract... given the retirement announcement has not been forthcoming. Laverde also seems on notice, but if...

There was / is a whisper about 2MP wanting to seek a trade. Not sure if someone discussed mentioned it here or in a tweet :-k Fellow at a game a few weeks ago said Pedro was a bit disgruntled over a number of things, but didn’t stipulate his reason or who knows what. Took it with a grain of salt th...

Seems the club is into him. AFL draft news: NGA prospect Isaac Kako excited to go to Essendon, wants to repay the faith Herald Sun 27 Aug 2024 Highly-touted small forward Isaac Kako is set to don the sash after November’s draft after five years in Essendon’s academy. Changes to NGA rules means he’s...

Why would you get rid the one guy in the entire club other than Menzie, who knows how to kick the football accurately? Exactly. Hawks love a bloke who can kick. That was the basis of their successful premiership run. Wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if MDA becomes another Houli. you hit the na...

With a real sense of dread I watched Brad's post-game presser tonight. I wasn't disappointed, because it was, indeed....dreadful. I had almost promised myself, even before watching it, that I'd never watch one again. But, footy being what it is, I'm ever hopeful. So most likely I'll watch his presse...

Despite EFC only having two draft picks in the coming 2024 Draft currently picks 8 and 28) ... there is a huge rumor that the club is chasing Luke Davies-Uniacke from North (where else?). As he is contracted until the end of 2025, it would take two first round picks to pry him out of Arden St. Unde...

So who has stood out…? If we have players who aren’t going to buy into that part of our program, in terms of the investment in the elite AFL lifestyle, they’ll stand out, and they’ll stand out in a bad way, so it will be quite easy to make the changes to our list that we need to make. Sadly - those...

Too many players went missing when the pressure was on. McKay and Shiel notable.

No mention of Merrett?

Shiel won more of the footy in the first half than Merrett did for the whole game, but suffered when the Swans shut him down after half time.

What shit decision that is.
The kid had real talent

So Scott is operating on the premise that Essendon can win the next two games and that Hawthorn and Carlton will lose the next 2 games... Hawthorn against Richmond and Norf and Carlton against West Coast and St Kilda. He has indicated Weiderman is more likely than Heppell to come in against Sydney ...

I understand that last year, the club made a decision on whether to keep Heppell or D'Ambrosio (who had expressed a strong desire to play as a HBF) but was run in the VFL, as a sub or put into a forward pocket. One of these players will play finals this year after playing 20 out of a possible 22 ga...

Really?
Where's your usual ....
It's fine. Just have a yoga session and some sweet snacks and a spa bath in between psych sessions and we'll come out and jump the shark next week??

Another 2 scarves thrown in today. It’s gathering momentum… It seems a lot of our supporters thought our players were dehydrated at the end of the game. Absolute garbage throwing bottles at the Suns players. Can only hope our fans were aiming at Essendon players but just as off-target as the player...
