It’s very obvious why Binns didn’t get a go. He regularly butchers the ball by both hand and foot.

I only watched the second half so I obviously have a limited view. I thought Kondo was our most likely looking listed player. He didn’t go a great deal, but he just looks a genuine prospect to me. Moves really well, puts the foot down when he needs to but also doesn’t waste his tank. Reads the ball pretty well, doesn’t panic. Just needs a few preseasons.
Everyone else listed I thought were pretty average. Ngyen tried hard and looked ok.

Where’s the replay ffs
I think Kondo physically looks perfect for the modern game, but l’ve seen quite a few panic handballs that have been turned over. But he is one that developmentally wise, you put a lot of work into as he could be very valuable.

Crod, I was interested to see that Binns was named second best on the club website writeup (that doesn’t mean he wasn’t “horrendous,” but it does suggest I wasn’t totally off the mark).
Absolutely perfect as a mid-season pick-up then. No “Essendon development” required…

He would have put away a few bottles last night, like most of us. Surely you would have jumped ship after yesterday?
I rang the great man, but straight to voicemail

They kept that quiet. Presumably why Sharp flew back yesterday.
Aceman knew about this but didnt tell us.
Betrayal.
I honestly didn’t know bout a trial
I posted on Tuesday that he was flying home at lunch on Saturday as he had a match sim on Sunday but wasn’t aware that it was a trial game.
On Friday the club changed his flight to coming home with the team which was pretty good of them.
I think another poster on here suggested we had a trial game today and I guess that’s why they rushed home so quickly after the game.

Note how @Aceman doesn’t deny he has a private jet.

I most definitely don’t have one unfortunately and still pay full tote odds for majority of my flights hence why we don’t fly Qantas much
Acemans sky tours.
Has a nice ring to it.
At least we managed to scrape together a practise match. The VFL is increasingly fkg useless as a reserves comp given the number of byes etc, it’s kinda ludicrous that we have to scramble to organise this kind of thing.
