@BomberRicko@ScooterMcNeice 100% agree poor kid plays 59% game time and gets drop after playing two really good games as a pure midfielder for the first time.
@Jasperc53@Kyptastic1 We saw the same with Parish early on in career played at a half forward. Oliver and Parish drafted a pick apart one played as pure midfielder from day 1 the other had to wait 3 to 4 years. Clearly knocks on Hobbs but can’t say he was given opportunities in his natural position.
What a day 32 years ago…. Very lucky to witness my first AFL grand final live as a 7 year old. What a day Longs goal, Wallis bump on Hanna, the baby bombers and leadership from Bomber, O’Donnell and Watson.
Jono has provided his thoughts on the current murmurings of a board challenge.
It’s a long read, but a really good one from someone for whom Essendon is deep within their DNA

@Bombergrl2000 Agree and had drafted well over a 3 year period… but can probably say the same about Essendon Caddy, Kako, Roberts to name a few. Plus two top 10 picks this year. It can turn pretty quickly.
Just saying the dogs lost Griffen (Captain), Higgins and Cooney at the end of 2014. Worked out pretty well for them two years later. Don’t hang on to players who don’t want to be at your club that doesn’t build culture.
@benlee1979 Cyril wasn’t an outstanding junior or did he have a great national carnival. He was lucky he walked into a great club and culture. Let’s just say wasn’t a Dodoro or Keane decision. The number 1 thing they wanted from pick 6 was leadership.
