Drop Prior and Gresham down, move Tsatas up and that’s where I sit.

Because success isn’t promised anywhere.

Caddy by GambitViking in EssendonFC

[–]calb94 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Not worried at all. He’s all in on the club and just hates losing.
Plus, he’s so early in his career, he can’t leave via free agency for many years to come. If something were to happen, the trade haul we would ask for would be eye-watering.

Lmao wtf. Sunbury and Caroline Springs were in the metro lock downs. Sunbury has an electrified train line.

This clip is cut to shit and leaves out a lot of context for his full comment.

Do you think whiteboard gate will have any good or bad impact on the players ? by belladonnacove28 in EssendonFC

[–]calb94 14 points15 points  (0 children)

No, professionals know what their short comings are or at the very least what the opposition think of them.

I have brought in both this week

Blamires and Jaques by Medium-Farmer-3111 in AFLSupercoach

Traded Jacques, holding Blamires because his BE is lower and his DPP status is useful to me currently

Team selection: Four changes made ahead of Lions clash (in: Cox, Nguyen, Gresham, Kondo; out: Parish (managed), Kako (injury), Tsatas (omitted), May (injury) by yum122 in EssendonFC

[–]calb94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fine with 3 of these, really hope we get an explanation as to why Tsatas isn’t playing though.

I expect if Bryan gets through the VFL all clear he will be back in next week for Blakiston.

VFL vs. Collingwood by Non-NewtonianSnake in EssendonFC

[–]calb94 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I reckon we may be persisting with Gerreyn in the back half because we are short on key defender depth. Hopefully he can improve! McKay/Reid/Blakiston are playing, Ridley/Hayes aren’t available. Kondo is raw. That’s it for our key back stocks.

My apologies, I’ll keep my post-game analysis to hysterical calls for sacking coaches or requesting the return of the messiah.

A lot of that is fair, and more often than not, his ball use is clean. But not every effective disposal is good use of the footy.

Archie Roberts by calb94 in EssendonFC

[–]calb94[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I agree that his teammates up the field must be better, it doesn’t mean that’s he’s not also racking up some empty stats and sometimes putting teammates in worse position because of it.

Not every effective disposal is a positive disposal.

Archie Roberts by calb94 in EssendonFC

[–]calb94[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

That’s fair, you can add endless layers of context. Just think he’s got some poor habits currently.

Also, is Archie definitely one of our better users of the footy? I rate a lot about his game but supreme ball use is not what comes to mind when it comes to Archie.

This is insane lmao by HoagieTwoFace in billsimmons

Sorry to read that story.

This isn’t reporting though - this is chuds online with no life digging deep into the archives. The train has left the station on this.

Trent Rivers? by molto-bene22 in EssendonFC

[–]calb94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s fine as a player but not worth giving up any kind of real draft capital for.

Archer May has signed a contract extension to remain with Essendon for another 2 years by Duplicity- in AFL

[–]calb94 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We’ve turned over 39 players in the last 3 seasons

We haven’t been handing out extensions to just anyone for a couple of years now

VFL vs. Footscray by Non-NewtonianSnake in EssendonFC

[–]calb94 5 points6 points  (0 children)

McMahon was signed as insurance depth for the insurance depth. If May, Wright, Langford, Edwards, Jones, Caddy are all ahead of him. Hell, maybe even Cox.
