VFL - practice match vs Hawks @ The Hangar - 10am Sat 12 April 2025

Not much chance of him coming in this year. Only two new players were introduced to the big time for the whole of last year.
For all of his faults Sheedy always brought in young players whenever possible. Misiti, Wangeneen, Mecuri and Ollerenshaw were only seventeen when they were introduced.

The AFL has turned a 150 year old competition into a mockery.

It’s shambolic.

Can you imagine the uproar if this sort of sh*t was happening in the WAFL or SANFL.

It’s been 6 years since Covid began, and we still have f*cking Queensland teams in the competition.

There’s 23 (?) teams in the league, yet we play 14 of them, and have 4 byes. What the f*ck are they doing?

21 teams - but I agree, it’s a mess.

The ruck, number 17 looks, promising. Probably needs a another preseason, but he looks like a 329 game player to me.

If we were a well run football team, Shiel would go out for Johnson and Hobbs/Tsatas would play as permanent midfielders. Whichever one of them is better stays in and the other goes out for Day Wicks eventually.

Very well put! I think The Saga opened Essendon supporters eyes to the AFL mafia’s corruption and once you see it you can’t unsee it.

Yes! Yes! Yes! And Yes!

Who is he ?

It’s Day-Wicks

Peter Wright eyes closed.

It’s such a weird thing that he does becuase it would undoubtedly make him a better mark if he didn’t

Havent seen @theDJR for awhile. Needs to bring back the old profile pic.

He played inside? A bit of change from the previous game.

I also wouldn’t have had him top 2 of the players in the previous game. Too many poor disposals.

The northern teams entering was the plan before Covid arrived….

But the structure is farcical.

How did Parish and Davey go?

Parish is out for a month with a calf injury he got at training this week. Davey was quiet
