Nothing to worry about. According to the media we might as well not bother showing up this season as the Hawks have it in the bag.

Poor planning by the Essendon Footy department tonight after electing to fly to Wangaratta for tonight's game vs St Kilda.

The Bombers chartered aircraft never made their destination due to weather. St Kilda decided to bus it up there the day before

AFL approved it ... Sh1t happens

Not a bad effort from Port against the Eagles in country WA.

Lost by 5 points and although both sides had quality players out, Port's side was very much a second string side.

Eagles cancelled a "reserves" trial against WAFL opposition because of injuries and not being able to fill a side.

Port would be happy with the game last night. Both teams had plenty out, but Port hardly brough over there senior players. Probably not a silly thing to do as a trip to Perth on the 17 hour flight is always tough .

No seriously it was a reasonable hit out. From my point of view it was good to see Masten, Stevens and Gaff get plenty of the ball,

Looks like they are doing a coin toss to determine the winner of the Essendon v Saints game.
The result was declared a draw but the Saints are trying to get the win.
What a farce.
At the end of the day I have no problem with the Saints getting the win, we couldnt get there Saints were there. Give them the points and move on

Port had alot of good players watching the Magpies trial yesterday which was good to see.

Good work by the saints to play 14 on 14 for 6x10 minute periods so the wangaratta crowd had something to watch. Did it in woeful conditions as well.

Think the points should go to the saints though and not a draw
