It’s just not an even playing field it’s it

It would be interesting to see a graph with population density of zone area. Sydney would be on top by a mile, followed by gws.

Essendon’s zone done by population is probably more competitive than most presume

Yep, the AFL is a scam

I think that’s tripe. Essendon’s fanbase is arguably the most passionate in the AFL. Have a look at how they’ve stuck by the club, the last decade. Every team has theatre goers. And when times are tough, even the poor old supporters are copping it.

If Essendon’s supporters are theatre goers and just in it for a chat, then all those on this forum who’ve ditched memberships are no better. Truth is, that’s not true, and Essendon’s supporters are as passionate as any.

Well said. It was a nonsense point. Everyone is frustrated but the Essendon fans are as devoted and committed as any. Their crowds are the ultimate proof.

Ah yes good call. Limits the trade options quite a bit though, I would’ve thought. Pretty sure most clubs interested in Parish would’ve only considered him as a FA without having to cough up picks.

Exactly what we need

Another young first round pick midfielder we can play in the VFL every week

I looked him up and the first thing I found was:

“Finlay MacRae is a shinty player from Kintail who plays for Kinlochshiel. He is a Scottish International as well as Player of the Year 2008.”

And another not the good brother.

Finlay Macrae is literally the last type of player we need right now surely :man_facepalming:

Does he have anything going for him or have any potential? Why hasn’t he got a game after the Pies were decimated at times with injury?

Another guy who can join our long list of mids who are one dimensional and can’t really play anywhere other than on-ball.

His stats are not promising


His VFL stats - playing off the half back flank towards the end of the year?

Fin Macrae? Surely someone having a laugh.

If you had AI spit out a representation of the exact player we do not need, it would be Fin Macrae.

Agreed. Might be part of a deal with Hobbs or Shiel?

Was there a muffin involved?
Was Finlay wearing a club tie?
