We lost comfortably to the Saints in R3, so it was a pretty good indication. We had a very soft start to the season.

Squad announcement: Practice game v St Kilda
See Essendon's selected squad to face the Saints.

Your memory is failing you.
Under Sheedy we played to win every game.

Some may play 2nd half in the AFL and 1st half in the VFL
That is pretty strong
Seems like the guys who aren’t injured who haven’t been selected are Lual, Roberts, Vigo and Jayden Davey (who I’d say still needs to hit certain aerobic fitness markers yet anyhow).
Unavailable: Draper, Hobbs, Shiel, Ridley, Wright, Baldwin, Kelly, Caddy, Wanganeen, Hunter.
Ridley,Wright,Draper,Hobbs
Apart from them is still a pretty strong side we named depth we havent had in a long time
I feel the need
The need for WEID
Imagine he has a great season and finally plays to his potential
Come one Wied you have it in you
The day Sheedy was sacked and Hird retiring is when the club died havent recoverd since
Is that you or the club that hasn’t recovered ?

2001 north comeback game for me, maybe not died, but it changed from all out go at it 100% to meh close enough is good enough.
I often wonder if they had of gotten belted that day, would they have had a chip on their shoulder and reverted back to 99/2000 mindset and things have been different.
Probably both haha
Yeah that game cooked us going b2b
Moorcroft wasnt the same after hes farked his hip from that mark
Then losing Hardwick,Caracella,Blumfield,Jacobs etc was the final nail in the coffin
Remind me, what’s wrong with 2MP; why is he unavailable?
