Im a fool and always get pulled in by the fake hype around us and preseason reports
Few things better on a Saturday afternoon than a smiling David Rodan signalling a goal as Hawthorn give up yet another one.
I was going to say that Hawks donāt look as energetic on the field and that maybe the heat of last week has impacted them. But Dees played in the same heat and had a day less to recover.
David Rohan is the only AFL officiator who I feel genuinely loves their job, has no ego and just does their role without fuss. Is he more famous as a goal ump than as a player?
As a player he was more famous as David Rodan
Iām not sure what you mean. David Noham is the player/ ump isnāt he?
Non Essendon games thread: look for evidence our club is farked in games we arenāt participating in.
Smart alec-ing aside I agree, he and Chelsea Roffey hard to find fault with in a very faulty industry
They gee themselves up against us. Probably saw no chance of winning vs dees. Donāt think their game reflects our chances.
Iām pretty sure Rodan has some academy for teaching people how to be goal umps. Heās a gem.
And was a terrific player to boot
The other players that are now umpires were pretty middling players no?
Thatās my impression but Iām struggling to even remember our bloke who went to the fluro side
Bannister I think?
Some saints loser
That tackle wouldāve been legged by an efc player
Thatās it
Donāt forget Mark Fraser!
The fact that Hawthorn were better than us for two and half quarters, is a real concern.
They are pathetic.
Clearly we just broke their spirit so now they suck⦠Right?
