Organising a group cry in one of Simmo's 27 hungry jacks whose in?

😭😭😭

@RayJCapo79 Couldn’t agree more. Was happy to see the back of him. When the going gets tough, he’s the last person you want in the trenches with you.

@akashfotedar5 @Tommy_A7 I quite like Yeo forward and hope that we can find another option so that he can stay forward. Would be a solid def option as a worst case scenario though

[B @b_dos_p]

@JohnnyinternetI @Tommy_A7 I’m usually a Brock defender but he was rubbish yesterday

[B @b_dos_p]

@RalphyHeraldSun No prior, only has to make a genuine attempt (which he’s in the motion of kicking it as he’s tackled). Not HTB. Wild that people are employed to cover football as a full time profession and still don’t know the rules.

[B @b_dos_p]

@DamoMK We need to start winning games like last night though. Home game against another bottom team (added to the loss to Richmond). We’re on the up, but need to start banking winnable home games.

[B @b_dos_p]

@MemesAFL Shit free kick but just don’t do it. It serves no purpose but offers an opportunity to give away a fk.

[B @b_dos_p]

@Readingthegame2 Based on today, he’s done exactly that. Although Francou will push him for that role as he’s been unreal too.

@JohnSte54623628 @JasonSchou21264 @FootyLock6 We must have different definitions of historically bad but okay

[B @b_dos_p]

@liparota Agree mate 🤙

[B @b_dos_p]

@darcyio_ @liparota Different story when it’s a generational talent, although I still think Kerch has been very good for them and will be a very good 250-game player.

@TheWestSport There’s probably no one I dislike more in the media than Richo. Surprised this wasn’t a whinging piece seeing that that’s all he does.

[B @b_dos_p]

@JohnSte54623628 @JasonSchou21264 @FootyLock6 Is the purpose of the assistance package to help you win a final or to help you not to be historically bad?

[B @b_dos_p]

@ShowersPavilion @AllEssendon Again I’ll reiterate my original point that the assistance is to help clubs that are historically bad. The fact that they won a flag 7 years is irrelevant to the point that they were bed to the point of compromising the integrity of the comp.

[B @b_dos_p]

@ShowersPavilion @AllEssendon 2022 - 17 (2 wins)
2023 - 18 (3 wins)
2024 - 16 (5 wins)
2025 - 18 (1 win)

Essendon in that same period.

2022 - 7 wins
2023 - 11 wins
2024 - 11 wins
2025 - 9 wins

Essendon have been consistently mid team for 22 years, and only a proper shit for one year.

Hardly comparable.

[B @b_dos_p]

@ShowersPavilion @AllEssendon Assistance isn’t about helping a team win a flag, it’s about helping a team which is utterly useless. West Coast were bad for 4 years to the point that it was compromising the integrity of the comp. Essendon have been semi-bad for like 12 months, and really bad for the last 4 mth

[The Nuffington Post 🦅 @nuffingtonpost]

Interesting to see James Hird’s views on priority picks last year. I wonder if he will apply the same logic to Essendon.

[B @b_dos_p]

@_ccarts @lukyydukes I’d love to see him develop but don’t think we’ve got the list spots to retain everyone
