High hopes that Demattia, Harrison, Allan & Macrae are our next wave of young mids to crack into seniors and impact.Cannot. wait. to. see. Harry.
Hopefully it’s not just chook lotto with the team list and he actually plays there. It’s something I’ve been wanting to see as I don’t think he’ll make it as an AFL forward, even in the VFL his best games have been with significant time in the ruck.AJ playing in the backline
Glover forward is something I’d take. We need avenues to score. Purcell is young so that’s why they need another key who’s ready to play there.I def would prefer glover in defence, as we havent seen Ash in that position. Ideally you'd like two Glovers. One forward and one back
If ash does line up there as it suggests here, we'll get an idea one way or another.
The vfl players dropped are unlucky but thats just the nature when you are mostly a healthy list. And one vfl players accept to be on an afl affiliated vfl list.
Didn't you just say on the AJ thread, criticism is fine as long as it's respectful? How is that respectful?Glover forward is something I’d take. We need avenues to score. Purcell is young so that’s why they need another key who’s ready to play there.
Lewis Hayes will play on Glover. He’d leave the remains of AJ on Vic Park.
He would dominate on AJ. I’d say that about any player who’s had the season AJ has had versus a player near AFL standard and consistently in Essendon’s best.Didn't you just say on the AJ thread, criticism is fine as long as it's respectful? How is that respectful?
It's like you couldn't wait to get stuck into Ash again before he's even played this week.
Yeah righto.He would dominate on AJ. I’d say that about any player who’s had the season AJ has had versus a player near AFL standard and consistently in Essendon’s best.
Or it’s like I’m just stating the facts.
No coach or analyst would have positive things to say after how AJ has played. I’ve never called him useless or s**t. Why shouldn’t I challenge his contract and ask for him to be delisted? Ruscoe had a more inspiring season at VFL level but went, so did Bianco. Cal Brown, the perineal whipping boy, has looked better than AJ at VFL level this year and so has Will Kelly. Different positions but the point remains.Yeah righto.
Here we go again.
If we know a player is struggling with off field issues, would we keep banging on about how it's affecting their on field performances? Calling them useless, s**t, delist them, reveal how oppo coaches mocked them? And 'leave his remains on Vic Park'. I don't think so. That's not respectful criticism. It's a pile on. And it's started again before he's even played.
He's already been dropped from the seniors.
Clearly he's struggling. And we know why he's down on confidence . And we also all know he's very talented.
Spots up for Grabs in the AFL SideLooking forward to seeing how he goes.
And a better perfomance across the board after last week's debacle.
I'm sure the club are looking after him & know what is best for his mental health. And that's obviously being around the club, his mates and playing football.No coach or analyst would have positive things to say after how AJ has played. I’ve never called him useless or s**t.

If he’s struggling, take mental health leave as he has every right to. No different to other injuries.
That's quite a decent looking side, with 15 AFL-listed players, and hopefully it will be strong enough to win, something we need after last week's disappointing loss. I'm very keen to see DeMattia, and of course more of Parker. The lack of a genuine ruckman is likely to be an issue again, but I'm hoping we can get around that.VFL-listed players Cooper Macdonald, Harrison Kennedy, Tom Wilson, and Patrick Farrant are the four outs for Saturday’s game.
