Perhaps he's just filling a hole till Ridley and Reid get back

Baldwin? Didn’t play against Gold Coast in the VFL last week (injured) and the VFL had a bye this week… Oh, crap yeah, I forgot he was injured. Ankle. I wonder if he'll be right for this week. Baldwin's not on the latest injury list, even as a test, so I'd assume he must be OK. He seems like the mo...

I’d like to see Zerret and McGrath as co-captains. Neither on their own seems the full package to me but I think together they would cover each other’s gaps. Zerret is the better credentialed performer on field but seems to lack the people skills which McGrath apparently excels in. They also seem to...

If you want to get a better feel for the board election candidates, you can hear their pitch interviews on "The Sash" podcast

https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/t ... 1219150159

So far the presenters have interviewed:

• Paul White

• Ben Dunn

• Andrew Muir

• Benjamin Yeo

Fantastic news! He'll be a great mentor to the new indigenous boys which will hopefully include the Davey twins and Anthony Munkara

Exactly Ben. And; with all that is going on at the EFC currently the club is very unstable, regardless of having a new coach, if you were a player, any player, would you want to be at the EFC? Well, it looks like Will Setterfield does. https://www.essendonfc.com.au/news/1235826/setterfield-lands-at...

Just watched Brad Scott's first Essendon presser with Dave Barham and was impressed with both of them. Scott presented as measured, smart and direct with a realistic understanding of what's ahead and the inner calm and drive to do what needs to be done. One thing he raised which I hadn't really appr...

Well it seems that the Essendon board agrees "that enough is enough" CLUB STATEMENT Essendon Football Club wishes to advise the Board of Directors met on Monday morning, at which time Paul Brasher tendered his resignation as President. Following Brasher’s resignation, a vote was held to de...

Been offered more money and years by the Suns. Thanks for the memories Dys. Sounds like a win-win for both clubs if we get a compensation pick out of it. It was always going to be awkward telling the team captain that he may not be in the best 22 any more. This deal would be a better way for him to...

Well you were right about Parish Ben

There is a tendency to sink the boots in, but when you consider our outs, you soon realise we are well below our best set up. Merrett, Langford, Snelling, Stringer, Tipungwuti, Francis, Stewart, Jones. There’s a fair bit of forward power and midfield thrust missing there. It is easily understood wh...

Can't argue much with that list, though you could easily swap Laverde and Parish for Most Courageous and Most Improved

Or maybe not …

Yes, our customary sleepy quarter.

Well, it can only get better from here!

I was beginning to wonder about Truck at the end of last season due to some “discontent” around the place. But he’s turning the joint around. It’s a huge credit to him. Who knows what happened at the end of last season. Maybe the players that left were "discontented" because they were wan...
