Great work and interesting read. A totally agree they are searching for the balance between a contested game and achieving quick efficient ball movement. I’m guess but reckon post the Hawks game they were trained all week around ball movement and just forgot they had to get the pill

Looks to be a strong side interestingly the AFL side would be considered quite tall whilst the VFL side is small and nibble!

Good read, I haven’t re-watched but am I right in saying we sent a HF to the stoppages usually Hobbs which left Amon loose behind the ball?

Redman will spend time around the centre of the ground this yr. I believe one of the identified failings from last yr was that Cardwell, Durham and others were were over worked and stuffed late in the season. Spread the load to mitigate the risk!

I reckon we will be ok

What’s the feeling …will anyone get elevated to the ones against the hawks next week? Johnson, Saad El- Hawli, Clarke, ?????

Just a beautiful player and person and the heart beat and moral compass of the EFC during the 90’s and early 2000’s.

The truth is slowly dribbling out. Thank god we seem to be slowly emerging from the backwaters.

…..and playing much of the game on Cameron who’s easily the best runner in the comp

Let’s just enjoy and have some fun😜

Are you softening the troops up for him to be higher on the top 100 list than others may have him?

I had had Misiti in this spot and Boris at 15

Societies all over the world fall for it tho🤷🏻‍♂️. We’re a dump bunch and sadly deserve the politicians we get…

One of my favourites a true footballers footballer

Why EFC is playing a practice match🧐

Great player, he never got dirty coz he always kept his feet, was probably the calmest player under pressure that I can remember at EFC. The ball seemed to follow him and can recall Sheedy saying “he would get a kick sitting on a dunny!”

Thanks Charlie for all your photos across the pre season their great for those of us who live interstates or in the regional areas. Cheers

Competitiveness, consistency and durability

…and he’s from Cobden, he just has to be good:).

Setterfield is being set for Rowell round one

Have his arm grown in length as well??

Mines from the same draft as yours Zach Reid. Into his 4th preseason but has only played 9 games 3 of which he couldn’t complete due to injury. Track watches all say he’s potentially a great player and has all the attributes but I just haven’t seen it yet🤷🏻‍♂️

I cried and I think I was 33 years old🥲😂

What’s going on with Parish? By reports he hasn’t trained with the main group this pre season but he doesn’t appear on the clubs injury list??

What’s wrong with Parish, he’s not on the injury list but seems he hasn’t done much all preseason?

Yep agree, redline them….its professional footy

If you are pushing them hard you will lose a soldier from time to time. It doesn’t appear to be serious albeit his history of soft tissue injuries isn’t great!

Trumps the result it’s the vast majority of the American people the ones who voted for him who have those qualities in their character!
