Wrong Ambrose. I believe that was a M Ambrose.

Didn't they say he'd miss two weeks? so would be looking to come back this week or next?

Quads never less than 4

Will i be able to get a ticket at the gate for this game? I have a WA membership which gets me 2 games in Melbourne.

Or do i have to reserve a seat?

All essendon games at etihad are fully ticketed meaning you need a reserved seat, but you can buy that at the gate. Being the Easter long weekend I wouldn't expect a huge crowd

 

 

Looking at the stats just before, Hardingham had the least amount of footy outside of Goddard's injury. Could be given a spell soon.

He did kick 22.22% of our goals.

 

What would you rather, 6 disposals including 2 goals, or 9 disposals including 1 goal?

 

The big thing we lacked yesterday was work rate. If you aren't prepared to do the work you don't play. 6 disposals and 2 junk time goals in 4 quarters of footy surely cannot be enough

 

So when are we dropping Joe for lack of output? I mean. for all the hype, the guy has done f all, and if you compare the start of his career to the start of "the fish's" career, he is a massive disappointment that should be delisted.

 

Am I doing it right?

I did a quad once and was back after three weeks.

They could have at least said "Simon says......"

Looks like Bomber is the latest casualty for the stomach bug.

ESSENDON insists a virus that has struck down Essendon coach Mark Thompson and at least six players won't affect preparations for Saturday night's clash against St Kilda.


Thompson was a late withdrawal from his regular Tuesday morning press conference after experiencing flu and gastro-like symptoms.
Several players including Bomber utility David Myers, who pulled out of Sunday's loss to Fremantle at the last minute, have fallen ill over the past 10 days
"He's (Thompson) a little bit crook," assistant coach Simon Goodwin said after stepping in for Thompson.
"There's been a virus going through the club over the last 10 days. He's got it, so he's missing today, but I'm sure he'll be back to his joking best over the next couple of days.
"He's keeping away from the team. We've pretty much said to anyone that gets crook, stay away from the club, stay away from the team so we can get rid of this bug."
Goodwin said the virus didn't have a major impact on the side heading into the clash against Fremantle and he was confident all players would be healthy for Saturday night's match against St Kilda.
Essendon will be bolstered by the returns of ruckman Patrick Ryder, Myers and veterans Dustin Fletcher and Paul Chapman this week, while Tom Bellchambers will play in the VFL.

Exodus!!! The sky is falling. Won't someone please think of the players? This is the final result of the drug dungeon. Move on, nothing to eat.

padddyy. thank christ for that. 

Hopefully Goddard will get up for Anzac Day and there are no more surprise outs through illness.

Never had a quad myself but I'm tipping it wouldn't bother me at all. Soft.
