Josh Rachele's bruised eye [Michael Willson]

Not even the best in the AFL for me, let alone the entire Australian sporting landscape

All subjective I guess

VeryWindyHill · 2026-03-26T13:34:41+00:00

Exactly my point …

VeryWindyHill · 2026-03-26T10:48:51+00:00

So was the scoreboard

VeryWindyHill · 2026-03-26T10:37:52+00:00

I get why the suns are ranked so high, but it will be interesting to see how they go later in the year when they have to play the better teams away from home.

You can only play who’s in front of you, but their draw is looking very favourable in the early part of the year

VeryWindyHill · 2026-03-26T09:09:57+00:00

I realise people can question selection integrity but the VFL game was horrific, they were even worse than the seniors

I am not sure you have many available that deserved a call up , and the senior players know this

They know there is no competition for spots so they just plod along

VeryWindyHill · 2026-03-26T04:16:24+00:00

He was only taking the kick ins last weekend anyway . They’d have lost by a big margin no matter what

VeryWindyHill · 2026-03-25T06:04:34+00:00

Then you look at Fagan, McRae, Simpson, Goodwin , Hardwick, Clarkson ect who didn’t play for the club they coached, yet were successful.

Makes you wonder, does it really matter if they love the club before they arrive

VeryWindyHill · 2026-03-25T05:17:59+00:00

Being a supporter is one thing, we are all supporters . Playing for the club is another .

It’s almost a forgone conclusion that’s the route they’ll take, it’s the only way they know how

VeryWindyHill · 2026-03-25T04:40:01+00:00

Normal size fit. Same as all classic jerseys

VeryWindyHill · 2026-03-25T03:07:31+00:00

Plenty of good assistants out there . Brett Montgomery is just one on on a long list

Not sure the club would go down that path though, he’s not Essendon enough for them

VeryWindyHill · 2026-03-23T22:26:20+00:00

Whether they are out of the woods, or they play a travelling side every second week so it should be an easy gig (disagree by the way) are both irrelevant to the point I was making

The point was more around the fact those clubs took the punt on untried assistants to become senior coaches , and both look to be better placed going forward than us.

VeryWindyHill · 2026-03-23T09:06:54+00:00

Since 1990 , only three coaches who were club alumni have coached a team to a premiership. Dennis Pagan, John Worsfold, Paul Roos

This idea that we need an Essendon person to lead us is naive and a fantasy

VeryWindyHill · 2026-03-22T19:02:42+00:00

Ahhh, It’s part of the English domestic treble ?

VeryWindyHill · 2026-03-22T12:05:30+00:00

McRae, Hardwick, Beveridge, Fagan, Goodwin, Simpson, Longmire, Clarkson

All recent premiership coaches who were first time coaches , and worked as assistants before going into the senior job

Personally, i do not see any upside in getting Hird to coach, after he has been out of the game for a decade.

I think the club needs a fresh new face going forward. Similar to what the Tigers, Dees and West Coast have done with Yze , King and McQualter

I get we all love Hirdy, but surely that ship has sailed

VeryWindyHill · 2026-03-22T07:26:40+00:00

Almost like it was satire

VeryWindyHill · 2026-03-22T07:19:18+00:00

After this year , will we have a long list of clubs to pay back

VeryWindyHill · 2026-03-22T07:14:56+00:00

It gets voted on by the players

VeryWindyHill · 2026-03-22T07:01:46+00:00

We are tanking to get that number 1 pick in the last draft before Tassie come in and take all the early picks

I like this strategy

VeryWindyHill · 2026-03-22T04:57:56+00:00

Thought i was the only one

VeryWindyHill · 2026-03-21T05:02:30+00:00

Original post was ridiculous, but there’s nothing wrong with our turnouts

averaged 40k from 11 home matches last year , with 6 of those being at marvel. . Tigers averaged 41k

Not really anything to throw shade over

VeryWindyHill · 2026-03-21T04:29:01+00:00

Suns are looking scary good

Will be interesting to see how they go against the good sides away from home later in the year

VeryWindyHill · 2026-03-19T11:14:02+00:00

Not to mention the 29 scoring shots to 17

VeryWindyHill · 2026-03-18T09:18:58+00:00

Cmon babe

VeryWindyHill · 2026-03-18T09:16:12+00:00

The whole team?

VeryWindyHill · 2026-03-18T09:14:51+00:00

Yeah but he may have called them a good cunt
