    Re: AFL Game Day R24 2023

    Feel like I've derived more joy watching Essendon humiliate themselves this year than watching us eek out wins and I'm at peace with that.

    If you want more humour in your life, go and listen to Brad's pregame presser from the 4:55 mark it's absolute gold!

    Well, but for narrow wins vs WCE & North - Essendon would’ve finished fourth last and have a percentage under 90. So despite the easiest draw, they’re bottom four for percentage!

    Suck shit.

    Not the fact that Hird brought the club to its knees or anything?

    Dodo may not be Jason Taylor however I think his results are reasonably solid.

    So unhinged.
    I hope Dodo stays on , it will add to the tally of x days without winning a final.


    The only positive i see with them kicking 3 goals is they were trying to tank . They may need talk andrew phillips out of retirement

    So Essendon are now nearing 7,000 days without a finals win. That's an exceptionally long drought. Lets hope it can get to 8,000.

    I want to enjoy it. However my nephew who was born in 2010 loves the Bombers (I at least got the dogs to his second side) and it's mirroring my child hood in the 80s! Damn empathy.

    Compounding it last night he adores Tippa.

    They got in Stringer with the picks to us for Noah Balta & Tom de Koning. (Which we got rid of…)

    Wonder what Essendon fans would prefer now? So called (by them) K-Mart De Goey or Balta & De Koning?

    I did that all earlier this year. Add in another second a future second from us too.

    The picks used (after JS trade) were Noah Balta, Tom De Koning, Sam Taylor & Luke Foley - for Schache & Ed.

    What is North doing?

    Harley Reid must be confused where he’s going. Would’ve been confident a few times this year.

    But it is good to see right. Who wants tanking in the game?

    The players are always going to try their guts out. So it really comes down to selection and possibly game day tactics if you are trying to orcherstrate a loss.

    Assuming North get first round at pick first round compo for McKay.

    Walter is the second best kid in the land.

    North had the first and third best kid at the start of the game.

    Now the have the third and fourth best kid in the draft.
