Best mates with Rosa before coming to essendon and cost us a pick we should be using to match justice.
It was a terrible deal but people will bang on about the leadership he brings

Did we even do our diligence before recruiting him? Thereās no way he came to us without an underlying problem that has now been exacerbated. So much for the investment into high performance and fitness.

What? He had zero history? Yes they do physicals as normal. Itās a recent injury thats terrible luck for everyone. Like Kako the previous week.

Did he have any back related issues while playing for GC? Legitimate question.
I cant recall any
Fair enough, its a real shame for him ;we canāt take a trick when it comes to these LTIsā¦
So comes to us and we break himā¦jeez. We are definitely cursed.
A large chunk of the missed games were based on playing ability not injury

Sometimes injured sometimes fringe, welcome to Essendon on a long term deal.

Ironic our tough stance on draper and then our approach to fiorini. Doesnāt reconcile for me.
Another really poor outcome for the club unfortunately.

Not bagging Innes cos heās still getting the feet under the desk but fk me these injuries havenāt slowed up this year
itās not like he wasnāt playing VFL
They most likely did the DD.
He played 18 games straight for GCS last year. There was lots to like about the base he established going into 2026.
