Oh, who was I watching then?
Weid
Don’t know, but Guelfi hasn’t played VFL since round 5 in April.
Must’ve been Heppell
We bring in a jobber like guelfi after 6 weeks of no playing for a dead rubber.
Collingwood bring in 4 young developing players. Not hard to see why they have been so successful the last 20 years and we have been utter horse ■■■■
The more I think about, we’re pretty much f-cked.
I dont just mean this week, I mean f-cked f-cked.
We need another key defender, Hayes should be getting a game.
Season done & injuries to all of Ridley, Reid, Weideman, Cox & Baldwin.
Development opportunity missed IMO.
Lual on the emg list is pretty random, maybe it’s more of a motivator move for the pre-season.
Seriously, what is Brad Scott’s justification for picking guelfi this week. There just isn’t a scenario that makes it right
Surprised he didnt drop Bryan to give his mate another game.
About the only positive I can muster.
We jut keep going to the well with the same failures down back and midfield.
And where’s the run coming from? We’ll need one of Roberts/Martin to rotate with the back 6 (which now has all of Lav/Hepp/Kelly starting…yikes).
So does Guelfi legit in to play wing? Maybe Duz goes back to his old role for a bit.
Actually yeah, I do like that Bryan has got a string of games together finally. Should give him a lot of belief going into the pre-season.
I know who we could start with, but who do you think Brad will actually move on?
He’s not going anywhere…get used to it
he’ll be sacked by rd 18 If things continue on this path.
thing is no one is gonna give a ■■■■ what they do in the first half of the year, and as soon as it looks like the wheels are coming off mid season, the sharks will come out.
the media will gun for a sacking. coteries and money givers to the club will start ■■■■■■■■ and moaning. The hird acoloytes who want scott to fail will find their voice and start pushing agendas left right and center, esp now he’s getting back into football, even at vfl level.
he will be lucky to see out the year next year.
What do you mean?
It’s pretty ■■■■■■■ simple.
Drop Shiel who pretty much jizzed on camera at the mention of St Kilda’s interest.
Did he ? Really ?
We all know you hate Shiel, but don’t be Trumping up the story.

“I’m certainly intending to finish my career at Essendon,” Shiel said.
I legit reckon wiedeman has been listed as injured because the club was too embarrassed to bring him back and then drop him after one game
Doesn’t need to. Goldstein 2025
Selection could have gone two ways this week: throw the magnets around now, and the finals are out, or continue as is. Obviously, Scott has gone with the second option. I’m not as disappointed as I might have been. I see some logic in finishing off as we started and then starting new next year. I’m choosing to believe this will be the last game for a few of those named, and the team R1 next year will look quite different. Get this sh1tshow of a year done and wipe the slate clean. I hope so, anyway.
Let’s hope it is a swan song and we go into a new era of honesty on our list capabilities. I just have a feeling we are going to be adding depth players once again with a view that we are nearly there. Starting 22 next season to look remarkably similar to Saturday.
You’re buzzing! All of your wishing that he’ll get the boot next year won’t make it happen. Our board/president have hitched their wagon to Brad so get used to having him around…
I wouldn’t be suprised if Lual will be a late in, given his boyhood dream fulfilment and then delisted next week.
Same treatment as Jok
I have a strong feeling that you may get your wish.
