"So, to be honest, like two months ago, I was in that place that I was thinking maybe even taking some break from golf because, like, I wasn't enjoying it as much as I used to.

"So, to be standing here, sitting here with that trophy, it just shows you how quick it can change. It's just unbelievable. I mean, golf is such a strange sport.

"One day, you know, you're fighting for your life, and then you win one of the biggest tournaments on Tour. So it's amazing.

"And it just shows you to keep on going. Keep on believing yourself. Keep on working. And that's what I did. I’m super, super grateful for my people around me that pushed me every day to keep on going, to keep believing in myself."

A win that means so much to @AdrianMeronk 💙

As we honour Neale’s legacy, let’s rewind to his finest hour in Essendon colours - cementing one of our most famous wins over the Blues.

@ScooterMcNeice @KRUDLER62 Selection based on tackle stats? If thats more important than getting it we are in all sorts!

[Ben Overman @Oves41]

@ScooterMcNeice 8 out of our best 10 players have never played worse! Culture & coaching is the problem. Scott has to go.

St. Andrews Beach
2005 - Tom Doak & Mike Clayton
#18 in Australia
$85 USD

When Tom Doak said this was the course he wanted in his backyard, one could easily write it off as salesmanship of his work. (Understandable.)

But after playing it, I get it.

It’s the most natural course he’s ever designed. Most of the course was found in the land. Remove the old cover and bring in turf and the golf course was there, built by years of natural evolution.

The turf and conditions are incredible. It’s hard to explain how good the turf is in the region, the climate and soil is the best on earth. Made for bouncy golf, which is the best golf.

It’s very wide off the tee, but thanks to big natural contours where you land the ball matters. You can get lots of extra yardage or avoid a blind shot based on your drive placement.

The greens are big with fun slopes. The green exteriors are usually tight so you can putt or take a wood from off the green, plenty of options. You can play the ground game all day.

The bunker use is judicious. They are big and relevant, but avoidable. Generally the more you want to take them on, the better your next shot will be.

St Andrews Beach is simply one of the best public courses you can play and a value that is unmatched. If you head to Melbourne and don’t play here, you are missing out. It provides a great contrasting style to the famous courses of the sandbelt.

Get here!

Poor guy can’t catch a break with injury. He’s had a shocking run

The AFL has a remarkably simple solution to the problem of players consistently moving from weak teams to strong teams - allow the trading of contracted players without consent.

AFL players are extraordinarily entitled comparative to other world sports, and it needs to stop.

@Big_T_2 Thank god!!!

I think Zach Merrett summed up what real leadership is right at the beginning of his speech.

That being "A real leader doesn't play for himself or individual accolades, he plays for, and always puts the team first, regardless of how tough it gets."

The problem is he is proposing to do the exact opposite to that!

Tonight, I didn't see a leader. I saw a guy worried about him! In his own words -
"Whats in his best interests"

That's what this comes down to. That's what we've all come to know over these last few very difficult weeks as people who love this club.

Zach Merrett, when all is said and done, cares about Zach Merrett.

Let the real leaders lead!

Watching the Ryder Cup has been hard to stomach—not because of the golf, but because of the behavior of the Americans.

The heckling, jeering, and over-the-top abuse directed at the European players isn’t passion—it’s uncouth, rude, and offensive. Golf is supposed to be a game built on respect, tradition, and sportsmanship, yet these American “fans” seem to forget that entirely.

They’re a disgrace

To me, it’s completely unbecoming of a captain to be repeatedly meeting rival clubs while under contract. The club captain is supposed to be the ultimate leader, the one who sets the example that the rest of the playing group looks to and follows.

I know many are defending Merrett, saying the club has let him down by failing to build a contender around him. That’s true to a degree, but what role has he himself played in the club’s ongoing mediocrity? A captain should be the one who galvanises a group, rallies them behind a shared goal, and demands the best standards. Instead, over the years, Merrett has reportedly been meeting rival clubs and coming back to Essendon asking for pay rises mid-contract. That is not how a captain should behave.

Yes, he’s entitled to make his own choices. But a captain should be held to a different standard. That role is about sacrifice, about putting the team before yourself.

For me, this trade period is the time to act. Essendon has a promising crop of under-25s, and Merrett’s trade value is still high. I share @Sam_Vecenie view, if moving him on can net multiple quality pieces to align with the club’s younger age profile, then the decision is obvious to me. It’s time to move on.
