6 7 is a term they use for a couple of things but one is “go away”. Alot of school kicds started making teachers come over to them in class and have an equation they needed help with and it would always end up being 6 7 - "go away’ and then they laugh in hysterics. Bit more to it now though but just stupid as hell lol

Interesting I follow a few clubs on Instagram and always thought the training footage they post is so much more intense than ours. The Suns one is nuts how hard they train. So it’s good to finally hear a step up in this area.

I take 6-7 to mean an approximate value for the Essendon deficit at half time most weeks.

“We trailing?”
“Yep”
“How much”
“6-7 goals”

He might end up finishing his career at Essendon if the standards of the playing group are up to his level.

I imagine we’ll never know but I’d love to know the architect(s) of the new game style.
New fitness guys would be pivotal re intensity of drills but who is pushing the go forward+ 2 second rules etc?

I heard it was the four year old son of one of the cafe staff who asked Brad why we don’t play like all the good teams, this was while Brad was eating his brunch eclair.

Also interesting to note the apparently increased “presence” of the leaders. Possibly the best thing that has happened to both Merrett and the club as it’s basically acted as a reset for both and snapped them out of their slumber.

That’s what I reckon too could have given the club the wake up call it needed the Merret trade saga

The playing group still love Zac and they might now make his dream of winning a flag at Essendon come true

Only if Zach wants to play until his mid-40s.

He could win 5 flags by then.

This is pre season we are definitely winning the 2026 flag.

Saw a video of Saad the other day, posted by bomber banter, he looked good. Fast and desperate. Whether it was dashing out of defence and then getting back to spoil Kako

Really think he could be a weapon for us this year. Hope he gets a chance
