One of the worst lists in the comp, full of VFL standard plodders and to top it off they recruit potatoes like Jones. Would be amazed if Mick sees out the year, bottom 5 or 6 for me


Turbo is right. We've had a better pre season than last year and we've got a much easier draw this season, however we still haven't recruited anyone to kick goals.

We could be the worst possessions-for-score ratio in the comp.

Kruezer will need to play forward for us to kick goals BUT we still don't have any ruckman. Wood and that 7ft goose Warnock are hopeless up forward.

So for all the easy draw, better pre season talk, I still think we'll finish up about 13th. And I hope one prediction is right, Malthouse gets the flick.

Kruezer to miss at least a month after suffering an injury at training.

Just quickly hearing on AA that Essendon have gone straight to players to become top up players with the on going saga still running rife. Obviously I don't believe things on AA but if players have been approached before the clubs who contract them then that imo is ******* shithouse. No issue with blokes going as its their choice however doing it that way isn't good for pr.

There is a topic in the SANFL section about this.

Essendon have since apologized for this. But this was in fact how there were operating.

Cheers mate. I know we take aim at this mob for their actions however you would honestly think one person in their boardroom would raise the point of communicating this in a correct matter. No wonder this shit isn't finished with yet.
