@AbsolutelyBlake It’s almost like two of your friends were finally able to let their guard down, and for the first time in their entire lives started feeling free to truly be themselves. That’s a beautiful thing. Maybe be a friend to them and support it. Instead of mocking it.
Obliterated by injuries again. Footy is no fun at the moment. Never get close to our ideal 22 on the park. Never get any continuity. Deeply frustrating. Want to see our best group playing together. Not 4-6 changes every week. Doom loop every season at the moment.
Essendon just flat out refusing to acknowledge Pendlebury is quite a good player for nearly 20 straight years is quite extraordinary. We’ve just decided to wait for him to retire.
Can’t question the effort or the intent. Kept fronting up. Losing our key back halfway through changes our game. Still too easy to score against in my view. But we’re a night and day different team from round one. And that’s pleasing.
@ScooterMcNeice Funny. I have spoken before about the media, specifically the Herald Suns unyielding obsession with Essendon, particularly during pre seasons. I got mocked for it. It’s blatant. You hear almost nothing of great detail about most clubs during pre seasons. Esssendon get daily news.
Gold medal for Australia in the Snow Boarding at the Winter Olympics and a gold medal for Australia in producing the worst collection of news people ever assembled.
Didnt go down the draft track? Robey, Farrow, Sharp, Kako, Caddy, Roberts, Clarke etc. Whole strategy has been going to the draft. Why EFC has the 2nd youngest list. At the time of Merrett's trade request, EFC had 5 picks in top 30. Retain high end senior talent the preference
This post is A BIG thank you to ALL my family, friends and so many other people who have reached out to me!
On the 27th of December 2025 my life was taken out of my hands…when meningitis took over my brain, & unbeknownst to me I was placed into a paralysed coma for 8 days to help me fight this awful disease. And that I did! Fight that is!….
After being given a 50/50 chance of surviving, I came out of the induced coma 8 days later…not able to walk or talk. And yet 4 days after that, with the doctors in disbelief, I walked, I talked and proved to them all why I should be released from hospital to start my recovery.
So happy to be home, to be able to put my feet in the sand on the beach and to start thanking all those people that reached out to me and my family in their unwaivering support.
This experience has reminded me of how fragile life is, how quickly everything can change & how precious time is!
There are so many wonderful people in this world … from paramedics (at Mermaid Waters Ambulance), doctors & nurses (at Gold Coast University Hospital) … to family, friends and people I didn’t even know. I feel like I met all these fantastic people in the past 3 weeks, or they reached out to me through messages of love and support.
I am so grateful to you all.
Thank you! 🙏
Bring on 2026 …I’m back! 💫
No Hazlewood at all.

If ever there was a chance for England down under, it was right now. Embarrassing failure.

@ethanmeldrum_ But morally he didn’t burn them. In fact we’re all going to look back one day and realise what a privilege it was to watch him use those reviews expertly. Literally revolutionising the game with those reviews.
