Yep leaves us with an even worse backline. Especially in way of 1v1 contests
Pea heart Cox
Cant even handball to Auskick level McKay
Would rather be smoking bongs in SA
Redman
Overrated more than KISS
Jordan Ridley
Kick it blind like Stevie Wonder
Andrew McGrath
Turns over more than a Thai Hooker
Nick Martin
Snaps like Bruce Reid coming in to bowl
Reid
The little brother who knocks on the door and wonāt get the the hint to Nick off. And scared of his own shadow

We are now well and truly the 18th best defence

Why would we do that we will just lose that pick twenty four to a kako bid
Blitz: āLaverde is ā ā ā ā . He should be traded. In fact we should cut him and pay out his contract. He should never play for Essendon again. Heās the worst player to play for Essendon everā
Commentator: āa third round pick would be fair for Laverdeā
Blitz: āā ā ā ā off, heās contracted so heās worth more than thatā

Not all of Blitz, Iād take 5th round picks just so Goldy, Jake, Lav and Shiel leave.
Not because they arenāt good/servicable players, but they hinder us from playing the future.

Tim Watson on talking footy saying he wonders, with Stringer et al being told to explore options elsewhere, that we could have someone lined up for the forward line.
Yes itās Watson, and heās probably only speculating - but thereās certainly a position vacant for a ready made power forward to earn big coin with us!
Also, Mitch Clearly believes Goldstein will get another year.

People have abit of rose coloured glasses when they havent watched a player for a couple of weeks.
For the past 2 months weve been bemoaning how bad our defenders are at not only defending but ball in hand.
Weve had games where people have single handedly blamed Laverde for losing such has been the appraisal of his performances at times.
And Stringer has been called out for turning up once a month, missing critical shots infront of goal, not being able to jump, weight ballooning out.
Now the time has come for both and suddenly theyāre too important to let go for some on here.
Go read all your posts after the Gold Coast loss to reacquaint yourselves with what these 2 players mean or dont mean for Essendon 2025 and 2026.

Not quite right. What he reported was that Goldy wants to go on, not the same thing at all.
