That bird must have sat through an Essendon game with me. That explains the language.

I’ve been wondering what Katy Steele has been up to all these years. I couldn’t give a ā– ā– ā– ā–  about the other three though

Even a non conservative coaching group wouldn’t pick him for seniors this week. If he gets through and is sharp this week then who knows after that. TBH, I’d rather see Hayes get a debut before this guy. Hayes have earned an opportunity.

Not really like-for-like though, is it…

He just has to perform well in the VFL this week for mine then straight in vs the Swans.

Wing/half back/half fwd, any of those positions he would add value

Watch him get 12 possessions and no goals in the VFL this week and this thread go silent.

I’ll still be saying bring him.

IDGAF how Hayes or he go at VFL level if they play there. Just fkn play them in the seniors. Our season is done. They both have shown more than enough at VFL level prior to this week to justify them getting a go.

I’m normally all for bringing in someone new, but not after they have missed 6 weeks of footy.

No.

That moment in his last VFL game where he fist pumped after his own mark has endeared him greatly to me.

He’s got fan favorite written all over him and can’t wait to see him get a senior debut.

Great pickup and completely agree. Thought the same.

He’d have to play two good VFL games I’d reckon first.

EFA. This is Essendon.

Having said that, you’re probably right.

I don’t know if I’m comfortable with the idea of compounding and the Essendon Football Club yet.

Granted, different concepts in mathematics and pharmacy, but the last time we dabbled in compounding it turned to ā– ā– ā– ā– .

Yep, that told me all I needed to know. Kid wanted the ball in his hands when it really mattered.

I read this quote two days ago. I’ll admit, that a game I play prompts random quotes when loading, but this one stood out!

Bring this bloke in next week.
