Round 8 Essendon v Footscray @ Whitten Oval, 7pm Friday 9 June 2017

Probably will end up playing like Michael Johnson at Freo.

Height of a kpp. But able to play as a 3rd tall and just use his intercept marking and mobility to advantage. Gets a lot of the ball as reads game so well also, and good user.

I reckon it makes perfect sense. Best time for a VFL bye is the same time as the AFL

Exactly. In fact we’ve bitched about it not being this way for years, … when it was actually was irritating as hell.

I don’t like byes at the same time for 2 reasons.

if players are almost demanding selection by their formline (ie lang atm) it could help them make the team.

I need to see some sort ofessendon footy every week.

I imagine the club would prefer it so there can be some consistency in player management

Had it been so this week, Bird would have played and made the difference between winning and loosing.

You’d be right.
