Brad Scott arguably overachived at North, with preliminary final appearances. David King and a cohort of North’s ex-players from the 90s were bent on undermining him and Scott moved on.
He’s turning Essendon into a 2020’s version of North’s tenacity under him, much to the chagrin of David King & co.
It remains to be seen if Brad Scott, with good resources behind him, can get beyond the prelims. A concern for Essendon is how the “old-boys” like Sheedy respond to B.Scott. Will they be threatened by his success and want to rein him in as King & co did at North?

Wow 5 minutes ago he was ‘baz’!! 😁 😛

The key No.1 draft pick stat that proves everyone - especially West Coast - needs to calm down about Harley Reid

The no 1 pick is rarely the best player in the draft. i.e. McGrath, Patton, Scully, Kreuzer, Watts.
A better list would be rising star winners or a list of players who in hindsight were the best players in their draft. Even more pertinent would be the quality and record of the club that drafted the player.

This article doesn’t “paint a realistic picture of the future of Harley Reid.” The intention is is clearly “to bring down a talented young player, and to search for and nit-pick every negative even where one doesn’t exist

Roger makes a far more pertinent point.

Have you noticed that Lance Morris’ “thunderbolts” are relatively slow when compared to the genuine fast bowlers in the IPL?
14 – 15KM/hr slower than the Umar Malik & Mayank Yadav bowling at 157Km/hr.

AFL News: Why Cameron escaped ban for dumping tackle, Blues star hit for six, Dees re-sign fan favourite

1) Was Lever injured, concussed, or even slightly adversely impacted by the tackle? No!
2) Conspiracy? 😂 After Carlton were nursed to victory the previous week by a wrong decision exacerbated by a second free for dissent over the wrong decision.

There is a Victorian commentary on the Cameron decision … and a rational one.
Cameron’s record shows he plays the game fairly and he didn’t pin both arms.
Lever could use his free hand to brace himself, as he did.
Lever accentuated the contact by throwing his head up (to win a free-kick) and immediately looked at the umpire.
There was absolutely no damage or injury BECAUSE the tackle did not pin both arms.

I think the over-acting in throwing up of the head was a contributing factor.
Correct decision

This club is not poorly run, so there has to be more to this.story.

'Bad blood': Swan sidelined after alleged dispute with teammate

If “A thorough club investigation found that those allegations were categorically false, and that Wicks nor his teammate had done anything wrong” why is he suspended?
Sit down together & sort it out

'Bad blood': Swan sidelined after alleged dispute with teammate

Fantastic performance by WA again 👍
Cam Gannon’s match figures of 8 wickets for 61 + 52 runs (42&10) with partnerships of 38 and 42 in both innings makes him the man of the match by a country mile.

Unstoppable WA wallop Tassie to complete unprecedented 'triple double' of Shield and one-day titles

Astoundingly poor take on the innings! With no concept of what Kohli achieved, this article made obvious the reason why Tim “nobody” Miller, is only a wannabe journo.
He’s out of his depth in puddles.

COMMENT: Virat Kohli just scored the most selfish hundred since Boycott - and he should be embarrassed

If you can’t understand that Tim, it explains everything.
just because Kohli whacked a lot of fours and sixes
It’s how he carried the team to victory … but that’s over your head too!

As an Eagles supporter, I knew there was no truth in this report. The current football management team is more likely to do nothing than try to develop any trade options. Their MO is to respond to initiatives from other clubs or players (like Brockman).

Absolutely no effort was put into securing draft picks from clubs that were interested in trading high picks for points. Neither is there any real involvement in recruiting players from other clubs. Missing Devon Robertson and Bobby Hill is indicative of the off-field malaise at my club!

Eagles land Hawk, deny 'completely unfounded and untrue' Darling trade rumour

A real lack of class in the whining from some sections of the media. (Including you Tim).
Lachie is a deserving winner. The Brownlow top 6 was the predicted top 6. How often do all the coaches votes match? almost never!

Why isn’t GWS’ match on Saturday night?
The Giants travel for the 4th consecutive week on a 6-daybreak, while Carlton get an 8-day break, travelling for the 1st time.
The AFL scheduled an early start to Carlton’s game to allow them to return on the same day.
No such consideration was given to Port, last week.
It is a very corrupt league, with pampered Victorian clubs that don’t win on their own merit.

Finals Fix: They just pumped Port - and here's why the Giants might be Collingwood's worst nightmare too

“Going no where” is accurate for their future 😂

Eagles lost to Freo by 41 pts, NM by 6 and Geelong by 47, so yeah, you’re right Cat.
Geelong are way better
