Thanks Anth

I had a quick look at www.wheeloratings.com/afl_stats_te...
to see where ranked. Not great reading but with Uncontested Posessions the only highlight.

is there a ranking somewhere of what Essendon does well compared to the other teams?

I'm sure when Merrett is confirmed to go to the Hawks you'll shed a tear, even in Paris. 😀

It's my favourite meal to cook. I add some mashed vegetables as well

Thanks Mike. Great piece of background and very topical.

rohan, any thoughts on the Merrett saga?

Rohan, are you going to write a piece on the current Essendon rumblings?

All these players were rated by draft gurus, not just Essendon so there must be something missing in the development of these players

What a cunt

Carlton
Freo
Geelong
Suns
Brisbane

Do people actually like these ads. All of the Fox Footy ads seemed to be focused on bogans, the same ones as the betting ads target.

Not sure Angus set the world on fire yesterday in the VFL

I am so surprised by the skills gap between us and the better sides. Handpasses to players' ankles, footpasses missing by meters, really bad decision-making.
Can this be rectified during the season?
Listening to all the pre-season reports we were the pre-season premiers.

So there are American products? Never owned a product that has Made in the USA on it

Thanks being on the Sunny Coast I enjoy these reports.
Is our defensive unit putting the same pressure another AFL side would put on, on our forwards ?

I am not a big Baldwin fan. He doesn't show enough "brilliance" for my liking, But he is only 22 so maybe his body is a bit slow in maturing

How's his kicking?

Excellent series.
Very interesting concepts.

disgraceful.

remove yourself then. It's in your own hands

Sounds like we've got a long to go still

20% improvement for every player which in turn improves our scores by 20% and reduces the number of points scored against us by 20%.
Injury free year for the players that are hard to replace.
Some new innovations by our coaches.
It's about time something different happened in our game

Baldwin seems to be a long way behind the eight ball.
Late start to pre-season which won;t help his case for a spot down back.

Looks about right

Sounds word for word the same spiel as he told everyone else.

Who is Mel Green?

I don't care what the AFL says, Jobe is a Brownlow medallist.

Fabulous report.
Any sightings of Parish? Is he doing sprint sessions?

Sounded very corporate initially but they got into the real footy stuff half way through.
Geez we were in a mess. A real problem when the club is very incestuous. You need to bring in external talent who know what happens with the rest of the AFL teams.
