@NatMartin30 It’s a familiar story, going in to the game with hope and expectation, the ball is bounced, we can’t seem to kick goals and Geelong can do no wrong

I tend to have this feeling every week about Hawthorn but 2.40 Cats feels well overs. Everyone tends to think we will win this which means nothing surer than we will lose by under 2 kicks as per.

@FootyonNine @CalTwomey If only the Essendon clowns had an extra 3 first rounders to play with ..

"They're going to have to pay the highest price ever paid for a father-son" @CalTwomey reveals the expected changes to the draft's bidding system, & the ramifications for the Blues, Bombers, & Power. #9FootyClassified | Watch on 9 & 9Now 🖥️

@BeauBremner @BradKlibansky Having multiple first round picks over 3 years means you have the power to trade up the board .. instead youre left with 1 pick and a player that isn’t performing because he doesn’t want to be there.

@johnpolizzi_ @BradKlibansky Tbey dont need to off load anything, rhey just need to keep bringing in the top 10 talent. Selling Merrett for late first rounders wasnt the answer

16 losses in a row for Essendon. During their losing streak, they’ve scored over 75 points just once, a game they lost to Hawthorn by 62 points. Up next, the Western Bulldogs fresh off a bye at Marvel 😬 #AFLDonsNorth

@BeauBremner @BradKlibansky Essendon have nothing to offer for anyone of those top picks they need to get rid of.

@johnpolizzi_ @BradKlibansky Tassie will be forced to move on a heap of those picks and some cheap picks in tje 20s for Merrett isnt it!

@gleebo41 The exact reason why Sam Mitchell let go O’Meara and Mitchell .. they were going to hold us back 2-3 years, and if they’re on your list you have to play them.

It’s going to be a long climb back, but currently we have the worst midfield and Forward line in the comp. Forward line has a lot of potential. But our midfield won’t change much unless a few of the kids in Hotton, Smillie and Cummings get on the park for extended periods.

@Cpcc15 His ego has set the Bombers back 10 years. Now need to rebuild and you had the best offer of your only asset and rejected it. Good to see Merrett playing well and showing some spirit through 🤥

Andrew welsh is a man of his word. Well done Essendon. Zach come back with your tail between your legs and apologise to the group. New captain in coming.

3 rounds into 2026. Bombers need a rebuild. Could’ve have 2 first rounders for the next 3 years with Tassie coming in, now they have 1 pick and a former captain who they killed his sprit. 10 year rebuild coming. That’s a FUMBLE.

@kanecornes @beartorius Going to be hard for a player to have a worse 3 mins of the season than this. Never seen a 100+ kg player go down so easily on multiple times.

@beartorius After flopping 3 times. 3 fines for flopping, 4 weeks for blood? Tough night

Tristan Xerri get ready to take some annual leave

#6:01 can’t come quick enough @kanecornes #fireball

@BradKlibansky Scrimshaw’s worst game is a bit of a stretch .. want Lewis to succeed but I feel like as long as hawks forward group as a collective are kicking 100+ points that’s how they are jusdged, he’s playing a role and his position is safe.

✍️ Early Selection Dissection thoughts for Round 2 vs the Sydney Swans A huge 3 games ahead: Sydney (MCG), Bye, Geelong (MCG) and the Western Bulldogs (Gather Round) I expect there to be no changes this week. The Hawks won’t get the Swans at a better time this season! Errol Gulden and Isaac Heeney won’t play & Logan McDonald will also face a test to play. Let’s hope we don’t see a repeat of “Opening Round” against the Giants! Under the pump 😬 Mitch Lewis- Worked hard up the ground against the Bombers but 0.1 for a side that had 40 scoring shots? Only has 2 contested marks the first two weeks. Needs to hit the scoreboard in the next two weeks or will be under the pump. Strong depth waiting in his position. Massimo D’Ambrosio - after a poor game against GWS in opening round, he only had 12 disposals against Essendon. Struggling to have an impact. Needs to do more. Sam Butler - 9 disposals. 0 tackles. 0 goals. Did the 1%’s well after being moved up the ground but needs to find more of the ball. Needs a big game against the Swans. Pressure and tackle all game. Jack Scrimshaw - May have played his worst game as a Hawk against the Bombers. Can’t afford a repeat against Sydney. We know the coach won’t be afraid to drop him. Bodie Ryan & Noah Mraz are waiting. In the mix 🙋 Bodie Ryan - Getting closer to a debut. Was one of Box Hill’s best again in their practice match. Noah Mraz- Had a good opportunity against the Bulldogs in pre-season. Likely to debut this season but not for a while. Flynn Perez - Unless Amon gets moved to the wing and D’Ambrosio gets dropped, I can’t see him playing. Aidan Schubert - Kicked 4 goals for Box Hill in their practice match. However, 3 came in the last 3 minutes. Currently ahead of Dear on form but not ready for AFL, yet. Will McCabe - Kicked 2 goals for Box Hill in their practice game. Trained with the forwards all pre-season and has been looking good. A debut this season won’t surprise. What changes are you making this week @hawksinsiders?

Time to release the laptop footage

@Bombers_Boss 🤡 🚨

Hawks are really starting the season 0-2 😬

LMAO, how arrogant can you be. You should not be able to pick and choose who you play, when and where.. absolute 🎪

@BradKlibansky @HawksInsiders How did Durham not get the exact same suspension? That has to work in our favour, it’s the same tackle

😃 and 😢 @HawksInsiders

@Chrisdapha @ArcRaiderAlerts This is what I’m telling you.. there is a way to crawl for ages without dieing

@ArcRaiderAlerts @johnpolizzi_

ARC Raiders player gets downed by a Rocketeer, crawls for 18 minutes straight, and extracts with only 3 seconds left on the clock. All thanks to Looting Mk. 3 (Survivor).

@EmbarkBulletin Good strat @Chrisdapha

I’m just gonna say it. I try and avoid PvP for the most part. But when my buddy and I want to fight other raiders, it is an absolute blast camping this building on Buried City and trying to hold the hallway. Darth Maul hallway scene vibes for sure.

@ArcRaiderAlerts @Chrisdapha

This is exactly what the dev meant when he said that people joining a match late profit more on average in ARC Raiders. 🔥

@BradKlibansky @HawksInsiders It’s just the same narrative year after year, the comeback of Day towards finals will save the hawks.

Could be my biggest curse ever 🤦‍♂️. The quickest “season alive” to “season over” ever? Apologies to all the Hawks fans out there. @HawksInsiders

@BradKlibansky @HawksInsiders I’ve been on this for a while, he brings the most X factor and most challenging to set up against for opposition teams to deal with.

👀 Josh Weddle in the midfield again at training today. Connor MacDonald also there. Expect to see those two spending more time in the midfield next season. @HawksInsiders
