Ben

@DetroitLemons99 @kanecornes Im an Essendon supporter, I saw him kick 5 on ANZAC day when he was in his second season and first handful of games. I was pretty sure he was a good player...

@BenTMMA @kanecornes I can guarantee at the end of the 2023 season in no way shape or form that you could have seen Jack turning into this player and if everyone is honest they wouldn't have either

Maybe 2nd best

@DenisNelthorpe @RonnyLerner His poor disposal causes goals in other way. Him and Andy McGrath indirectly cause a lot of goals. Maybe dont just look at the stats sheet when commenting?

@RonnyLerner Fans have short memories - Before McKay every team with a big bodied forward monstered Bombers around the goal square. Full backs can't stop waves of opposition midfielders!

The criticism of Ben McKay is completely overblown and he has almost always stopped his direct opponent from kicking a bag since joining Essendon, which is his primary job

@RonnyLerner He literally costs goals in so many different ways. He's horrible. Just because his direct opponent doesnt always kick 6, doesnt mean his poor skill level doesn't put his teammates under direct pressure ,leading to goals

@MrCricketAust Maybe it's more about what it means culturally to force a player to stay, who doesnt want to be there? Despite him playing well for a half the other night, his body language is horrible and he definately is sooking out on the field.

Jordan Lewis the latest expert to say Essendon "messed up" not trading Zach Merrett. How many times do "experts" need to be told our 2025 draft hand was strong and what Hawthorn offered was inadequate! We asked for Weddle and the Hawks refused. Maybe next season who knows though?

@JTD0NS Have you seen Archie Perkins play?

Gresham could be the worst current afl listed player. #AFLDogsDons

@NewLeafBrian He’s been trying to pump up the bombers all night for some god unknown reason

Gary Lyon trying to talk up Ben McKay.🤣🤣🤣🤣 #AFLDogsDons

@CollingwoodFC Are Collingwood’s crop of young players as bad as essendons? It’s becoming apparent there are many tough years ahead for you Collingscum

Big second half required at the Gabba. 🎯 Goals: McStay 2, Elliott, Steele, Sullivan 1 🤲 Disposals: J. Daicos 13, Houston 12

Are Collingwood’s crop of young players as bad as essendons? It’s becoming apparent there is many tough years ahead for Collingscum #afllionspies

@1116sen @tommorris32 @LockedInSEN @kanecornes YOU WERE WRONG! Jack Ginnivan would actually be collingwoods 2nd best player on tonight’s evidence, and best tonight. Is there young crop as bad as essendons? #afllionspies

"You know what he loves more than Collingwood? Winning." @tommorris32 discusses why there is doubt around Nick Daicos' future at the Pies. @LockedInSEN | #Crust | #AFL

How many weeks for Tristan Xerri? Looked like he wiped blood on Andy McGraths face #AFLDonsRoos

@kanecornes 6 weeks

How many weeks for wiping your own blood on an opponents face?

@kangamerchant @TigerTuff3 this game is all time, for all the wrong reasons

Mightn’t have been a bigger game in the Clarkson era, or the whole rebuild era, than this one. Haven’t beaten this team in 10 years and the pressure is hot on them. They will come out firing. Good Friday 2025 was a test - failed badly. Let’s see what North stand for this week.

@matoots57 Fall guy 💯 Reckon he’s been giving a call by the afl to look out for them…

Pavlich might have the shortest CEO career in footy. Or Is he the fall guy.

@deeceepee80 I respect your one of the only pies fans not complaining about the umps. No doubt you guys will work your way into the season strongly. Crowd without Rankine Curtin and Keane look very strong

@SwoopLuke Omfg stop the whinging - you guys have been getting favourable umpire decisions for years. Adelaide are a far superior outfit, missing Rankine curtin and Keane - you guys had a great run, but it’s over

have said it for the last few seasons, bring in a 25m for the stand infringement. 50m for that is wild

@nothing557642 @dfranc76 Did you miss that Adelaide were missing Rankine, Curtin and Keane? Suck it up, they’re a much better outfit than your mob.

@BenTMMA @dfranc76 Needed the worst umpiring in years, pies to get a reversal for a whack on the hip and 30 throws, with two key defenders out, to win by 14 LOL

Sidebottom takes a mark and is held so he can't play on quickly. Umpire didn't do anything to stop the hold, so Sidey tried to shrug opponent off. Free kick Crows. Putrid umpiring #AFLPiesCrows

@richgarden @dfranc76 They’re certainly happy to boo when for once the umpires don’t gift them a victory .. unreal

@dfranc76 Wasn’t “held”. Reasonably corralled. Whacked him in the guts. You cunts want frees and 50s for everything, but not the other way.

@daicoszn How many contested marks?

WHERE ARE THE HATERS NOW!!!! - 41 Disposals - 7 Marks - 136 AFL Fantasy - 11 Score Involvements - 844 Metres Gained - 76% Disposal Efficiency #AFLSaintsPies #GoPies
