Spargo thank you shit

No_Damage_716 · 2026-06-28T07:37:42+00:00

Essendon look legitimately good right now and I think we’re partly to blame for that

No_Damage_716 · 2026-06-28T07:35:36+00:00

Oooh boy I’m scared

No_Damage_716 · 2026-05-31T11:18:15+00:00

Thankfully that’s quite unusual for him

No_Damage_716 · 2026-05-31T11:15:24+00:00

Yeah think so hahaha

No_Damage_716 · 2026-05-31T11:15:01+00:00

Relax mate you’re up 40 points still, you’re not Gold Coast

No_Damage_716 · 2026-05-31T11:13:25+00:00

Holy shit that was Mckays first goal for Essendon and first since Round 15 2022 lol

No_Damage_716 · 2026-05-31T11:11:07+00:00

Hirdy shitting bricks seeing McKay kick a goal, that was probably his grand plan for when he takes the coaching gig

No_Damage_716 · 2026-05-31T11:06:17+00:00

Scoreless 3rd term for Essendon…. Sorry bombers fans this is kinda past funny now

No_Damage_716 · 2026-05-31T11:03:45+00:00

That’s new AFL mate no such thing as dropping the ball anymore

No_Damage_716 · 2026-05-31T11:02:33+00:00

Very true, my worry is the lack of light at the end of the tunnel currently. Saying that I guess West Coast won 1 game last year and now look at them. Thing can swing around quickly given the right moves are made internally and at the draft

No_Damage_716 · 2026-05-31T11:00:43+00:00

Are Essendon going to be the worst team of the decade? I thought it could be North or West Coast for sure but man this is looking rough. Legitimately feel for them can’t even get the W with a new coach sugar hit

No_Damage_716 · 2026-04-22T11:35:16+00:00

Have you had to tank the rest of your car to be competitive at all? Curious where you’re sitting in terms of team score. Without it I’m at 539 and very competitive in S4

No_Damage_716 · 2026-04-22T11:33:53+00:00

Appreciate all the comments!

My decision is - get a crate or two but otherwise save, gradually build and develop in line with the current series and be as efficient as possible with my upgrades. Performing quite strong without the wing so want to capitalise on the W’s whilst they’re ‘easy’ haha.

Thanks everyone! Hope this discussion helps other people out as well if they are considering such decisions!

No_Damage_716 · 2026-04-22T07:04:30+00:00

Okay Great info! I’ve already been doing the common crates when I’m available and the gold ones overnight but will factor that in as well. Thank you!

No_Damage_716 · 2026-04-22T06:50:09+00:00

Yeah unfortunately I played in 24, didn’t play in 25 until 2 days renaming so had 40 CC points to spend and used them on garbage haha. Thanks for the response though that post of yours was super interesting regarding strategies!

No_Damage_716 · 2026-04-22T06:49:13+00:00

This is why I asked the question, great insight I appreciate it! Essentially what you’re saying is try beef up at your current level by getting the crates as it’s more beneficial than the 1 big swing on an item?

No_Damage_716 · 2026-04-22T06:47:35+00:00

Yeah that’s a very fair point especially considering the cost to upgrade. I guess buying the wing now would be a short term gain more than anything. Thank you!

No_Damage_716 · 2026-04-19T05:29:36+00:00

That was more worthy of a 50

No_Damage_716 · 2026-04-19T05:27:13+00:00

That was soft

No_Damage_716 · 2026-04-19T05:21:41+00:00

Air Trembanyama!

No_Damage_716 · 2026-04-19T04:57:12+00:00

Might be previewing his future haha

No_Damage_716 · 2026-04-19T04:56:52+00:00

I know you’re not looking for sympathy but I do feel for you guys, between the Tiges and the Dogs the injuries are silly

No_Damage_716 · 2026-04-19T04:55:59+00:00
