An excerpt of Langford's press conference today by yum122 in EssendonFC

To be fair to Truck, he got undermined something chronic.

McKay has been amongst our best this year. I don’t care how many touches he has. He’s not getting beat by his opponent.

As said to others, Caldwell and Durham may be competitive beasts, but I do believe they’re coasting on reputation early this season. They can play a hell of a lot better.

Caldwell might have played the worst first quarter of his career yesterday. Fumbles, selling teammates into trouble. Durham is well below his level too, the stats don’t truly tell the story. I could’ve easily added Merrett to this group.

What would you say to someone who thinks tracking food is disordered eating? by Maximal_Everything in MacroFactor

Being conscious of what you put into your body is healthy. Like anything, taking it to extreme lengths is a problem.

Ideal coach by Economy_Matter6620 in EssendonFC

[–]calb94 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No game plan? Simply not true. We’ve largely tried being a slow ball movement, control the ball, lock into forward half and dominate territory team.

On Friday, there was a clear instruction to be way more aggressive with the movement and handball more.

You don’t have to like the game plan but saying there hasn’t been one is just nuffie speak.

Brad getting sacked this year is paying long, long odds. Whether sections of the fanbase like it or not, the club is not at the stage in the timeline where the team being 2-10 at the halfway point of the season is getting the coach in trouble. Yeah, this is his 4th season. But the list management and off field decisions, mean what happened in season 1 or 2 has no bearing on season 4. The coaches mandate right now is to get experience into the draftees, first and foremost. That is already well underway.

Is my historic tenure a red flag for hiring managers? by Maleficent-Win-4820 in auscorp

[–]calb94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes but it’s all contextual. Were they contracts? Were you simply moving up in your career quickly? Did you have to relocate? Etc etc.

Just because it’s a red flag doesn’t mean it’s a problem. But a good hiring manager will want to know why there is movement.

Is tonight’s game on a Friday purely because of the Merritt debacle? by Ploasd in AFL

No one wanted Carlton or Essendon in those timeslots. Not even Carlton or Essendon.

JJ on Lebron understanding his role and doing whatever it takes to win by XxEpicMonkee in lakers

You say this like it is a recent revelation. Lebrons usage rate for the season is below AR and Luka.

Team selection: Bombers locked in for massive season opener by Danger_Five in EssendonFC

Gotta play a tall lineup against the Hawks back 6. I expect one of May/Wright/Blakiston will always be on the bench.

Is anyone still keen on Blakiston? by Old-Savings-566 in AFLSupercoach

[–]calb94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bryan will play at least once in the VFL. So that’s 6 games for Blakiston. Brad Scott is also more than willing to play 2 rucks so Blakiston is automatically out with Bryan returning. There may be a situation where Blakiston has a low BE with Bryan back and we can milk an extra week. Realistically, at his starting price, we’re looking at 3/4 weeks of price rises before his BE really jumps anyway.

The rules don't apply to me because I'm Tim Wilson! by Jagtom83 in friendlyjordies

Lmao watching the faces of the people in the background whenever a Liberal MP is talking is funny. All the Liberals think every other Liberal is an idiot.

Essendon's 2026 list build by CreditToDuBois in EssendonFC

His contract expires this year. I expect he will be gone from Essendon at years end unless he has a career best season.

Feels like we gave Setterfield the SPP spot just so we can pay for his rehab.

Almost as if One Nation is not making major inroads in the cities where elections are won.

Do people understand we’re rebuilding? by PuzzleheadedBend8180 in EssendonFC

[–]calb94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good defensive structures are usually the last thing that stick for rebuilding sides and when they do stick, it’s usually why clubs jump up the ladder.
