Give it a miss.

This pretty close to what the team will be, but I reckon Walla is at least two months off selection. Snelling will play IMO. I suspect theyā€™ll go with Jones over Voss too, but I donā€™t think I would. Guelfi also may get up, especially if Caldwell isnā€™t right to go.

Just doing my FLR and there are some really difficult games to tip in the first 5 weeks.

And this is one of them.

I agree. Heā€™s not ready. Heā€™s still carrying too much weight and his fitness isnā€™t there yet. If this clubs serious about raising standards, and holding everyone accountable, he simply isnā€™t ready to play. What that means for small forwards I donā€™t know. Fixing this clubs culture, holding everyone to higher standards and sending the right messages to the group at the outset I think is so important. Potentially an example of a sliding doors moment.

You just know Mitchell will make sure Hawthorn will turn up to one game this year and itā€™ll be round one smashing us.

And our team will bend over and make easy for them

Never seen such a bunch of mentaly soft players in my time of following Essendon and this is not just based on yesterday we have been a soft footy team for decades

we will win by 50+. second youngest team and measuring mentality off a practice game is a borderline 60 IQ move
