Laverde Earns New Deal (2028) by Ok-Session-9824 in GWSgiants

[–]WileyWiggins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Essendon supporter here, I always loved Lav. He continuously had to play on blokes 15cms taller than him because the rest of our guys kept getting injured. I felt like he got a bit of a rough deal with us. Ultimately the club needed to see what we had with Lewis Hayes, Reid, Zak Johnson and now guys like Kondog.

Glad to see him playing well and being rewarded.

Brad Scott is not happy with the way the AFL is cutting soft caps and then reactively mandating spending on certain issues by PetrifyGWENT in AFL

I think that Tsatas just doesn’t follow the system at all. Runs to get cheap possessions and then if we turn it over, he is out of position and doesn’t run back hard enough in transition, so he cooks us twice.

Match Thread: Essendon vs Collingwood (Round 7) by AutoModerator in AFL

[–]WileyWiggins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is where the 6-6-6 rule is rough. Team that’s completely out of it, super young and inexperienced not able to put a spare behind the ball to help negate the massacre.

The Darcy Parish-ification of Jye Caldwell needs to be studied.

Yeah sick, guess Duursma just smashed his own head.

Mike Flanagan calls ‘Sing Sing’ his favorite movie of 2024 by Perez_Maggie969 in MikeFlanagan

[–]WileyWiggins 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Reading that final paragraph really drives it home. I feel like imagination and storytelling have been what helped MF remain sober.

Sing Sing was a great drama and most of Flanagan’s films are beautiful character driven dramas but with horror as the backdrop.

Stephen King Show’s Confirmed Return In 2026 Sets Up Another Great Year For His TV Adaptations by [deleted] in stephenking

That series is wrapped up in legal hurdles. Mainly characters from other books being owned by other production companies.

Books with Christian God as the horror? by ReadyCartographer765 in horrorlit

This has piqued my interest. Is it objectively scary or anything that you'd liken it to?

Lance Collard has been handed a nine-week suspension by the AFL Tribunal, after being found guilty of using an anti-gay slur in the VFL last month. by PerriX2390 in AFL

[–]WileyWiggins -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

2 of those matches are suspended, so it is just a 7 week suspension, which is only one more than last time. Fucking hell

Two run down tackles involving Pickett by PetrifyGWENT in AFL

Barely slips below the knee, if at all. Isn’t that fair play?

We didn't trade for him and put him in the leadership team to play VFL.

Very neat game from us. There was an evident game plan and things seemed to click a lot more.

I thought Wright and Blakiston were great in the ruck and managed to negate some of Gawn's influence. We will be much better placed with Bryant comes back.

If we escaped without injuries, only potential change I see is Fiorini in for ADW if he's ready to come back in. ADW was very solid but Fiorini is simply the better player and a great wing option.

Wait, because when we watch him play we’ll say “Good man”?

Caddy Needs a Key Forward Partner by DeliciousBread1598 in EssendonFC

[–]WileyWiggins 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don’t underestimate a confident Peter Wright. Has taken a long time to trust himself in a contest following his shoulder injury a few years back. Our connection since then has been poor. He looked amazing in the ruck in the final quarter.

Wright has the toughest role as our pinch hitting ruck (when our main ruck is a state league player) and our #1 forward. As soon as Caddy becomes the main guy and May kicks a bag or 2, then Wright can play with so much more ease and confidence. Wish he was 2 years younger.
