Curly ones but there you go. Some suggest Wangas gets a crack, but maybe Hind with lace gets a gig. Benno, Lij amd Willo in the mix.

Don’t be surprised if Hardwick hammers his teak about nil wins away from home. He’d see us as a cherry riped to be picked. Even a sifter.

Hope we’re awake to that fact. He was livid after losing last years Dreamtime game in the last second.

Dimma has told his players that the 2024 season has finished and today is actually the start of the 2025 campaign.

And heaven help any player who doesn't commit 100%

Frustrating passages of play littered with turnovers and clangers.

Do these mofos wear $800 ice skates? FFS wear fkng something that holds your fkng ground.

Shiel had played well in the guts.

Liking Bryan in the ruck.

Draper having an impact.

Lavatory doing well in defence.

Lots of clangers from both teams. A really poor standard game overall.

We have made long look like an AA forward again ... but our small forwards - Menzie and Gresham are f****** useless.

We have nearly 3x as many inside 50s yet our return on this dominance is shit.

If you kick 1 goal 9 behinds in the last quarter when you are coming from behind ... you don't deserve to win.

The forward line has been dysfunctional for 10 years. This needs to be fixed.

Our forwardline today:

Gresham - 0 goals, 0 behinds
Langford: 0G, 0B
Davey: 0G, 1B
Jones: 1G, 1B
Stringer 1G, 3B
Caddy: 3G, 1B
Draper: 3G, 2B

Too many list clogging nuffies in this group.

We kicked 1 goal 11 points from 22 inside 50s after the 15th minute of the 3rd quarter when Caddy kicked his 3rd goal.

Total shit.

Setterfield would have been useful against Rowell (who will get the 3 Brownlow votes). Rowell had 9 score involvements (most on field) and 20 contested possessions.

Once again selection errors and Scott's refusal to have a run with player cost us.

I hope you did put your life savings on the game.

As sure as shit, this f****** club of ours just ALWAYS accommodates other club’s needs. You haven’t won a game away from home all year? No worries, good ol’ f***-wit Essendunny will help you win one.

The club is a deadset f****** toilet. Completely loaded with shit. Year in, year out, they produce absolute sewage.
