Hoffy🔴⚫️

This is ground zero

@BomberRicko @KrisMiitel

@KrisMiitel $13 to win the Rising Star is also bonkers mate!

Pick 9 for robey at this stage seems bonkers!

@CraiG_Mc Player development, we have added 5 players to our best 23. Farrow, Robey, Sharp, ADW, May. It’s not about wins and losses, it’s about developing a list to compete long term

Genuinely curious, with the club in the middle of a clear (deliberate) rebuild, which has meant going backwards to go forwards. What were and are your expectations for right now and then moving forward? #GoDons

@ScooterMcNeice Perkins has been good

Man it does so far feel like the forward mix is all sorts of wrong. Gresham really should be out there tbh. Desperate for another small forward to change the balance

@ScooterMcNeice @AnthP_ Any decent rucks?

@AnthP_ Oliver Griffin would be a serious consideration surely. Dynamic marking medium forward (186cm) with a big leap

Unfortunate for Fiorini but this must open up a list spot for the MSD There are 16 players currently unsigned for 2027+ so have to take this opportunity to get someone in (experienced or best available kid) with plenty of options to free up list space end of season #godons

@grandoldgame @CraiG_Mc Would love a Robey “break out” game.

@CraiG_Mc Will b hard for us imo, marquee games severely hinder young experienced sides for the mere fact “you can’t hear with all the noise”,experienced sides like Pies are well oiled machines where players instinctively know team mates movements where as we’ll be looking for guidance.

How we all feeling ahead of ANZAC Day? Normally for me, it’s a mix of nerves & excitement. But this yr, there’s more nerves than anything else. Maybe it’s because we’re being talked about as a genuine chance, a real 50/50 game. Hard to explain, just feels different. Am I crazy? #GoDons

@essendonfc @HoMedics Where’s Kondo?

Round six injury update 👇 @HoMedics essendonfc.com.au/news/1996456/i…

@JonathanJWalsh @SteveM_ac @kanecornes Elite defence by Farrow

Why do blokes bounce the ball so much sometimes? This guy bounced twice when not even one was probably needed. And it distracted him from his main job, carrying the footy… Didn’t @kanecornes cover this topic recently? It’s stupid footy

@torkymonkey I did mention this after round 1. Exact opposite result from 2024

We couldn’t repeat what the hawks did in 2024 could we??

@grandoldgame Kids loved it today, have to replay it ten times?

You know who I’m most pleased with after this win? My 15 yr old son (and I’m sure others feel the same with their kids) He’s unwavering, the relentless shit hung on him by his mates etc he doesn’t budge, knows every players stats,just lives, breathes🔴⚫️I clocked off long ago but

Disappointed that Johnson and El Hawli were dropped but I think our backline looks absolutely set for the season now barring injury. Great mix of intercept marking, positioning, composure and foot skills.

Farrow has the composure of a 200 game player already

@grandoldgame Before any talk of getting rid of Scott the McPherson role needs to be scrutinized. Bring in a Choco Williams type as director of coaching and set the whole coaching panel up right from the start. It starts here, not with the head coach

Speaking with @Hofffy5 dinner last night and he made a valid point, all this blame at the coaches might be warranted but why doesnt Daniel Macpherson have the spot light on him at all? Isn’t it his decision that picks & oversees the coaches, assistants, development coaches etc?

Daniel McPherson needs to be mentioned……

@tazweare @Kyptastic1 No @grandoldgame

Annddddddd the best crew in footy is back ♥️🖤

@JacintaAllanMP Remote work equals Phillipines, well done 👍

From 1 September: if you ask your boss to work from home, the law will be on your side.

@JacintaAllanMP How many homes have you delivered? Housing crisis has been caused by the 15 billion you gave to the CFMEU you crook

In news that surprises absolutely no one, this morning the Liberals have announced plans to cut 300,000 new homes and push up the price of housing. They've revealed they want to hand housing supply back to council blockers which is how we got a housing crisis in the first place.

@ringsau @ajamesbragg House prices drop, first home buyers who just got in the market on 95% LVR now go over 100% LVR. Every decision there is unwanted consequences. House prices dropping would be a disaster. Need to steadily increase at inflation rate not at 10% per year

@Hofffy5 @ajamesbragg Investors sell. House prices drop. People renting that couldn’t afford to buy now can afford to buy! A renters buys a house! And the investor selling makes a slightly smaller profit. Win win

More tax = fewer houses = higher rents afr.com/property/resid…

@ringsau @ajamesbragg Investors sell, no more rentals. Housing market crashes.

@Hofffy5 @ajamesbragg Cap rent increases Solved

@ringsau @ajamesbragg Good luck for the renters

@ajamesbragg More tax for investors equals lower demand by investors for existing properties, means less price competition for first home buyers Bring it on.
