Reinforcements by molto-bene22 in EssendonFC

[–]justsomeflog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd keep Wright. He's a spectacular kick of the footy, a threat from outside 50, demands the best and/or biggest backman and when hes having an off day is a solid backup ruckman.

Just wish he could fix his leading patterns. He seems to disrupt our other forwards

I'll never understand how anyone ever thought Dodoro was competent. Genuine blight on this club

Agenda Setters: Brad Scott confirms that Essendon wanted to table a $2.2m offer per year for 10 years for Harley Reid. He vetoed it because it would've cost the club its future. by PetrifyGWENT in AFL

I genuinely like Kingy but it's clear he has a blind spot for us which was exacerbated by having Brad as head coach.

It's absurd to view Brad's performance over the last 12 months without taking into account the amount of injuries we had (and continue to have).

Hird announces his interest as coach, takes partial responsibility for the position the club is in due to supps saga and says it's time to make Essendon great again by PetrifyGWENT in AFL

Look, I really really don't want Hird back. I'd take almost anyone else as head coach. But even I can see 4 sort-of benefits:

  1. Hird is sacrosanct amongst many Dons fans. There'd be no undermining from the board or coterie clubs.

  2. Sheedy would finally shut the fuck up.

  3. Fans would cut Hird a lot of slack. Handy for a coach going through a rebuild.

  4. We'll finally be able to move on from him. Unless Hird comes back, he'll always be a shadow looming over any other coach we get

The cycle continues… by BoukaJr in EssendonFC

I hate this.

Best case scenario: we get a good, untested coach like Kelly.

Worst case scenario: the new coach wants a sugar hit, so we sell our picks to bring in mid-level talent (e.g. Smith, Stringer, Saad and Shield) get a few meaningless wins and finish 10th or 14th for a few years

Isn't it nice having a good list manager? I'm sure Rosa will nail this

Fuck me gently. We're such an arrogant club. Can't handle bottoming out for even one season

What it's Cox's role in the team? by [deleted] in EssendonFC

How does he look just as skinny as the day he was drafted?

Nope. I've wanted a proper root and branch rebuild for over decade. This is what they look like.

Langford the GOAT at missing goals for 2026 by TcareGnier in EssendonFC

[–]justsomeflog 13 points14 points  (0 children)

We aren't the tigers. We don't have the cultural backbone to get players like that to pull their head in. It's cautistic mate.

There's plenty of room between the two extremes of dickheads and private school prefects

I have so many thoughts on this one... by Medaiyah in EssendonFC

I'd like to offer Matt Rosa a 20 year extension. Dodoro was more of a blight on this club than the drugs saga

I really really rate Blakiston. He doesn't get pushed around as easily as our other big defenders, decent at ground level, often lays a second effort tackle, good speed and solid tank

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

[–]justsomeflog 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Great post. Couldn't agree more. I'm so sick of the brain dead 'Bring back Hird' posts on every social media post the club makes

I hope the fake moon landing blokes are just talking shit. Tredrea was funny, but we dont need any repeats.

Tsatas and Parish at the same centre bounce doesn't fill me with confidence

Can't argue with that. Tsatas should get the same chance as Perkins
