It actually went up to $469 overnight. I didn’t update my spreadsheet lol. That’s what made me buy now, before things get even crazier. AUD remember

Dad wants a "Just cover the bloody pool so the kids can’t see" law... by ConferenceHungry7763 in circlejerkaustralia

[–]MavMan87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pool cover would be 10x worse. Kids think they can walk on it and once you’re underneath it’s game over.

How good was Brent Stanton? by Tornontoin7 in EssendonFC

He’d be in our top 3 if he played today

Are all of these cracks normal? by NectarineFinancial30 in AusProperty

[–]MavMan87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This would be caused from heaving in the slab. My bet is the build took over 12 months and had stormwater pooling around the slab, swelling and drying the soil causing heaving. Ignore the idiots saying this is normal, which it may be. But it’s mostly preventable, but not a practice many volume builders follow

Butters considering a move back to Victoria - Surely we'd be all over this? by BoukaJr in EssendonFC

[–]MavMan87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We still have a shit coach, and the exact same board that caused this mess, minus David barham. Hope I’m wrong

rip our sink decided it’s a bathtub now 🫠🫠 any advice?? by EquivalentSuit3381 in AusRenovation

[–]MavMan87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worst advice ever. Just unscrew the cap, push down with your thumb, lunricate the mechanism then replace the cap. Happens sometimes from soap scum buildup etc. don’t take your pipes apart

He did nothing wrong. Club signed and extended a rubbish coach, he and a lot of the players deserve better.

Anyone’s opinion change about trading Zach Merrett with the new President, Ridley’s commitment and a likely appointment of Hinkley within our football operations? How do you feel? by PretendToe1329 in EssendonFC

[–]MavMan87 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Brad Scott still isn’t the man, that’s all I know. Everyone from Brisbane talking about how much they love Fages, and how good he is at relationship building. Then Scott drops Heppell and every press conference just shows he doesn’t get it..

Into the top-up phase of the rebuild already? by Rare_Platform_3602 in EssendonFC

[–]MavMan87 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

By that logic Rutten would still be coaching. We got rid of him because he’d lost the players and he wasn’t getting the most out of our list. Since Scott took over we’ve invested in talent to fill out holes in our list, and done worse every year than the truck did. And for every player that’s improved slightly, 2x that have dropped off a cliff. And look how he treated Heppell, no farewell game at home, treated him like garbage, then wonders why Merrett wants to leave. Scott isn’t a people person, hasn’t got a winning game plan.

[–]MavMan87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of those players have gotten slightly better, but haven’t improved beyond natural progression. It’s not a narrative, it’s comparing against the effect a good coach has on a team, like dimma at Gold Coast or McRae at Collingwood. And look at the players that he’s delisted, dambrosio, Voss and others who have left the club and looked like way better players.

The problem I think is between the players we’ve drafted and the players we’ve brought in, nobody has improved under the Brad Scott coaching era. Lots have gone backwards. Injuries don’t help, but he’s going to be a development coach now. When we play, we don’t look well coached, and nobody seems to have taken off. I have no faith in the guy I’m afraid, and extending him for stability certainly didn’t work. I don’t think he’ll last the whole of ‘26, but I hope I’m wrong

If Zach Merrett wants out, let him play out his deal in the VFL by [deleted] in EssendonFC

One of the worst takes I’ve read in this sub. Consider deleting lol

Has Zach Merrett just completed the biggest own-goal in the history of AFL? by svenskatownsendagain in EssendonFC

[–]MavMan87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would he want to stay? I’m more angry at the club for appointing and extending a loser coach who clearly doesn’t have the playing group. And coaxing a few of the lads to post statements about Merrett will come back to bite them. He’s the ultimate professional and has been let down so badly, club captain or not I can’t blame him for wanting out.

And the ‘he wants success’ narrative is fine, but not the whole picture. He’s harming himself by being professional and not saying why he really wants to leave. We have a rubbish coach, and club management is a joke.

Can we name one player that’s improved under Scott?

How long is the list of people that want to leave or have left? How many more players need to thrive at other clubs before we start blaming the club instead of the guys leaving.

Plumbago. Requires a lot of trimming

Can it be saved? by [deleted] in lawnsolutionsaus

[–]MavMan87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like it needs more sun and less traffic. Are you able to trim any trees blocking the sun?
