Genuinely nice that Heppellâs finally getting to play in an in form team with a clear recent injury history. Bloke deserves it and has been playing excellent footy of late.

Buckley has consistently given pretty insightful commentary on where weâre at and how weâre playing since he retired from coaching.
I found two things he said interesting. He was praising the forward line for their ability to spread the Giants defensive 6, create pressure and score.
He also rates Ridley as our best player, so sees a huge upside when we get him back in the side.

Yeah he does for every team. Between him and brown i think they offer the best comments on the game on tv.
Also get the feeling brown enjoyed brad scotts company as a team mate too

Only thing heâll be remembered for is being the historyâs best step ladderâŚFLOG.
Wasnât our 2nd half draw rated the hardest out of everyone just 2 days ago?

Itâs almost like, itâs just a matter of opinionâŚ
I remember the 96 game. A typical Essington Sunday game against a lowly opponent where we only just snuck over the line. For some reason I used to think the players were hungover with those Sunday games.
oh boy. Ridley is playing this week. Super exciting. (Brad Scottâs presser from today saying he was a âgood chance to playâ)
Full lid off.

Yes 2nd on the ladder here we come
He just said a week ago we wonât be playing finals make up your mind Brad!
We will win more than 13 games
Well now I have heard it all. The Suns win against Geelong is meaningless!
According to the Roar, Geelong had 3 big name players out. OK I accept that, but most sides have 2 or more key players out right now. Oh, and instead of their massive home ground (ground shape) advantage at the Cattery, they had to play at another clubs home ground. Didums. It happens to all sides, yeh? Heard of Gold Coast, Brisvegas, Perth .
Add to this the theory we heard from the flag favourites The Orange Blokes, they were actually way out of form, and had (secretly) been over performing for the first 9 games.
Excuses excuses excuses, but hey, Essendon has a few problems, we have been over performing. Now lets see, we have to beat the teams above us to prove how good we are.
So, if we end up 2nd on the ladder at the end of this round, all we have to do is beat Sydney, unless, of course, when we do, its because Sydney doesnât have Buddy and the McCartins and Essendon have a massive home ground advantage. That being the case the game would be meaningless.
According to The Roar.

Weâre honestly not playing well enough to be 2nd in a normal year but thereâs no description column on the scorecard.

Our coaches may disagree. Their measurement is that so far this year âwe have only not been competitive in 2 quarters of footyâ. (both against Port)
I wonder how many teams below us could say that?
