Freo needs 35 best 22 players as there will be at least 13 injured at any one time.

2021 AFL Draft recap: Who your team picked, biggest steals and more

Is he really connected to Hillsong?

UPDATE: Pies stand De Goey down following New York arrest

I’d imagine there will be players who would not want it and might even speak out like their NBA counterparts and some tennis professionals. You’d imagine Essendon players would be extremely cautious about injections which are still in their trial phase.
My wife and many of her colleagues in ICU were stood down today in WA as they’d prefer to wait.

Poor Cody 😂

Enjoy Pete. I will embracing the self-sustaining lifestyle outside the metro area.

Dogs' Smith reveals motive behind vaccine salute

I am torn between Fremantle doing a “Fremantle” and Essendon doing an “Essendon” so it’s a toss of the coin really.

That one did make me laugh!!

Six talking points for AFL Round 22: Time to put a line through Richmond?

So last week no-one wanted 8th and now everyone wants it!

The hardest round to tip: Six talking points from AFL Round 21

Did all our interstate travel at the start of the year only to lose all our home games at the end of the year. Oh well.

'It’s been a good year, but they’re not ready': Why the Bombers won't play finals

What turmoil? All I’ve heard is the same “journalists” circle-jerking.

Garry Lyon has his say on Hawthorn coaching turmoil

I think there is a much clearer message from the coach and buy-in from the players than previously. We would normally drop that game against North. Our team is younger and less experienced than most so I don’t think they know where they stand.

Bombers Round 18 Review: Baby Bombers bank another win

Simple Pete. Geelong will stop Geelong in the finals like they do every year!

'Ridiculously Melbourne trend': Six talking points from the AFL Round 18

I would take finals experience over a draft pick that is one or two places higher (where you could probably still take the same player) every day.

Bombers Round 18 Review: Baby Bombers bank another win

Cam, we already know that teams below 6th are irrelevant in terms of winning the premiership. No need to be such a negative Nancy. How about we enjoy that there are still so many “live” games leading up to the end of the home and away season?
It seems there are more people complaining about Essendon being hyped up than there are people actually hyping them up. Everyone else knows that they are an inconsistent young team but at least play exciting footy at times and don’t lay over as easy as before (wait and see after the Bulldogs game). Let’s also not forget they lost 3 games by under a goal early in the season.
I’m comfortable with where they are at and they were the least experienced of those teams on the weekend (even less experienced than Gold Coast).

'Who can do the best Bradbury?' Six mediocre teams fighting out two finals spots

Too much volatility at this point in the season Chucka.
Carlton are not suddenly the 16th best team in it. I’d back them in over North, Collingwood & Gold Coast.

AFL Round 17 power rankings

I’m on 94 in my comp now but the leader is on 98 so time to start taking some risks. Tipping Carlton on a “gut feel” here.

The Roar's AFL expert tips and predictions: Round 17

I think only injury has gotten in the way recently. Started last year so well before injury hit and the same this year. Has come back from his latest injury very well and looks fit and committed.

Parish decides Bombers future amidst breakout season

I love Tippa but he is limited to a forward pocket role. Highly valuable in his position but I’d hardly call him a match-winner.

Parish decides Bombers future amidst breakout season

Can’t afford to let Stringer go. Match winners are invaluable and Essendon don’t have another.

Parish decides Bombers future amidst breakout season

The only thing I care about is effort and it’s been there every game since the early rounds. There are a few times I’ve expected Essendon to collapse in on themselves like the Essendon of old but the team finally has some steel.
A bit of luck earlier in the season where we lost 3 games by under a goal and we’d be entrenched in the 8.
Conclusion: Overhyped, but only by those outside the club or with no grip on reality.

Are we overhyping the Bombers in 2021?

Good on Joey and I wish him well. He was my favourite player but I’ve finally come to accept that we are better off without him. Fortunately Harry Jones has better hands, is a better kick and has better hair!
Joey still looks a shadow of his 2017 self. If he gets back to that form, the Lions would be unstoppable.

Brisbane Lions are ready to take the next step

You’re thinking of Carlton.

Five talking points from AFL Round 12

Build a list on losing and they’ll remain losers. Players picked up at the start of the rebuild will be retiring by the time they finish.

I did warn him that there will be a life of misery ahead!

Dreamtime heads west as Richmond and Essendon look to put on a show

Taking my son (5) and his friend to this game. It’ll be his first live game, I can’t wait.
His Mum and all his relatives are mad Eagle’s supporters but they pushed too hard and now he’s jumped on Dad’s Bombers.
