How the hell do “player ratings” work? Apparently our fourth best behind Merrett, McMahaon and Durham last night.
Yuck
I thought he looked stronger thru his core and stood up well in tackles to dish it out. Happened on a number if occasions.
Zero tackles and what appeared to be zero defensive pressure still the concern for me. Still looks just too slow

I actually thought it was his best game for… 6-8 weeks?
Not saying much at all but it would be nice to see him turn the corner before year end.

He has a very, very big off season ahead of him. We need to work out what he wants to be, but most importantly he needs to figure out what player he wants to be.
Yes, AFL player or Fortnite player.

The big difference this week was that he was so much cleaner below his knees. Meant he actually had the ball to dish off.
If he can build off this performance and finish the season strongly, hopefully it can springboard his preseason … assuming he’s still at Essendon.
Been good tonight. Credit where it’s due

First time in a while he moved with intent. Offered multiple leads and showed energy like he wanted to be there. Still a couple of errors that he wouldn’t make if he was full of confidence. The whole team looked like they were playing for each other tonight.

Another that has been slowly getting better each week. Hopefully he finishes off the year well with a bit of confidence for next year.

There’s something with this guy that screams confidence. If he can find it, he could be a real asset. Fits the age profile we’re keen on, I’d keep him and move on a few others before him I.e Shiel Hobbs Gresham and Menzie.

Nup - too little to late.
Yes, nice boot and clean by foot and can kick a goal.
HATES a contest. This will not change.
KILLS others with hospital handpasses. This hass never changed.
NEEDS another opening for himself and us NOW. All about trade.
We have seen what the kids can do. Renew the culture. We need the new factor in the kids now not live the ongoing hope in the top five draftees in AFL terms any more. Perkins and the EFC are done.
Move PERKINS on -

Doesn’t have the champion mindset, would not trust him in a finals to stand up.
I think he is better than Hobbs, but it think Hobbs wouldn’t disgrace himself in a finals atmosphere

Really good half forwards game tonight. Didn’t look like he was avoiding contact as often as earlier in the year either.

It was Saint Kilda.
Time to clean up useless plodders on the list.

And we’re below them on the ladder…
No killer instinct or vision.
PERKINS does not fit Brem.
