Better than you on a daily basis I suspect.
As an adjunct, even though you are often negative, I do generally enjoy your comments.
I have no idea what you’re upset about. Where did this start??
Im not upset.
Maybe I miss construed the it’s worrying comment?
All good - carry on. Was (semi) confident of the win. Let’s celebrate.
Go the Dons!
Loved what Scott said about him.
He’s such a coachable player. However, it means the coaches need to be careful with that they tell him to do - because he will follow it to the letter.
IMO it just seems like he wants to do his bit for the team.

I know we’ve become used to Essendon players hitting the wall at 30.
He’s 31 now…
What if he’s just starting?

What does that even mean, be careful?
“Flip, I want you to tear Grundy a new one today.
Not LITERALLY of course”

Last two weeks I’ve been surprised when they’ve mentioned how few touches he’s had. Every touch has a big impact.
There was talk of him wanting to retire last year. He also just had another baby. Who knows??

Absolutely exceeding my wlidest expectations.
Yeah I’m with ya Saucy, maybe he wants to do it for Flip Jnr!
Him and Shiel will be multiple Essendon premiership players when they’re in their late 30s under captain Hobbs.

Couldn’t be happier for the big Flip. Journeyman that is playing a massive role for us. May be slightly biased as he’s from Tassie

Heard a stat this morning that we’re 8 and 1 from his last 9 games!

Clunking marks in driving rain like it was an auskick ball in the middle of summer. What a beast he’s been these last two weeks

How many more games does he need to play for the father-son rule?
Played 24 for us so far, so quite a few to go.
From AFL tables: AFL Tables - Andrew Phillips - Stats - Statistics
VFL/AFL: 12081st player to appear, 3548th most games played
This would put him in the top 30% of players to have ever played at least once based on the number of games he has played so far in his career across GWS, FCFC and us.
I think Essendon when Flip comes in to assist Draper, is like St Kilda when Ryder was fit and able to assist Marshall.
We are genuinely a much better team when those two genuinely big genuine rucks with enough genuine forward craft to make the opposition genuinely worry are in the side.
I genuinely need to find a thesaurus.

Absolutely love this guy. Busts a gut every time he plays. Watching the replay of the last quarter again and he gives away a free to Grundy in the centre square after a Martin goal and dives to try to smother the ball-only a little thing but he just doesn’t stop trying. So important for us- bet his team mates absolutely love him

He’s a beautiful man. Always gives his all, that smother on May in the last
