Massimo D’Ambrosio
Aaron Francis
Brandon Zerk-Thatcher

aaron francis rarely gets a game at sydney. theres no guarantee hell be in that qualifying final. whereas bzt and mda for sure will play.

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...

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 ...

gold coast have obviously not won a single away game this season. what are the odds theyll get their first against us tonight?

it would be the essendon way. honesthly a loss would not surprise me.

someone give me some genuine hope...

Just need a break during the week. De-clutter the mind and gone back all guns blazing. There’s a good chance to flip the burger still. its one thing to be hopeful but your absolutely delusional. what do you suggest, bring in weideman? after all he is vital to our structures and we sure have missed ...

second that. perkins has been disappointing this season. should have been dropped already by now. not sure how he keeps his spot.

In: Jayden Laverde, Todd Goldstein, Jye Menzie Out: Nick Hind (Omitted), Peter Wright (Omitted), Dyson Heppell (Omitted) I don't know what Cox, Perkins and Jones have to do to get the chop. Wright and Heppell fair enough as omissions... but Hind? Hind didn't cost the game. hind has been the sub the...

Out: Laverde

Why do we never omit players, just "Manage" them?

yeah laverde is now being "managed". quite bizarre.

is this the end of the road for heppel. he was listed as "managed" last week. that usually means he back in the following week.

it is strange they would rest him now this far into the season esp. just coming off a bye recently.

Well, if Weideman cannot crack the team with Wright missing, he may as welll climb into the skip bin right now. Not even an emergency. He just needs a bit of luck and continuity. Form and confidence will follow. good ol blind windy hille. weideman is horrible. hes been horrible at melbourne and not...

doesnt surprise me. weideman has never been any good. draper talked about spending more time playing forward in the preseason. probably best to play draper foward and have him play ruck when the balls in our F50.

wheres weideman? his leading patterns were invaluable last season. i think ppl are really over looking him. he wil be a factor, mark my words.

lol benny. gave me a laugh.

i like MDA. we seem to butcher the ball a bit and he can hit targets regularly. hes young and will keep improving. i hope we can find a way to keep him.

Hope he stays. He’s integral. Getting the footy is a major part of this game. He does it better than most. Not signing by now worries me though… geelong may very well miss finals for the first time in a while. they are no doubt going to go extra hard for parish now as they are missing that type of ...

There has been piss poor treatment of Baldwin every time he comes in. He plays well and well enough to keep his spot and then he is inexplicably dropped. We’ll lose him and mark my words we will regret it. I have never been sold on Kelly. He’s slow and doesn’t really have that many other redeeming ...

yeah, this was the first game where he really looked like he belonged out there. has to keep playing from here on out.

Stated that we wouldn’t be 8-6 if it wasn’t for Weeds. he's right, had he not missed that soda against P.A we would be 9-5. Was he poor last week? Definitely. Like most of the team. yeah but unlike most last week, weeds has been poor for some time now. its time for a lttle "Veefa" vaca i ...

And Sam TumbleWeid. DROP HIM FFS! bit harsh... Yeah - Tumbleweeds are actually useful... in movies, gifs and is spreading seeds. lol yes i agree. i was being sarcastic above when i said benny was a bit harsh because thats what he said to me when i wanted him dropped a while ago. Admittedly, that wa...
