@7AFL @kanecornes Parish an AA in 5th season. Ridley close but now gone backwards. Shiel arrives as AA and leaves as a reserves player. For me, the issue hasn’t been selecting the right players, it’s been developing them. Some of these same players have succeeded/improved at other clubs.

@7AFL @kanecornes Unpopular opinion, but I don’t think recruiting has been a problem. It’s development. Essendon drafted D’Ambrossio and Voss. Also drafted Draper who is now on big $ at Brisbane. McGrath was a rising star in his first year. Cox was in the top 3 first year players.

.@kanecornes has done the maths on who's to blame at Essendon 👀

@FOXFOOTY Players are delusional ……if they want to follow overseas models then they’d be happy to be traded whilst under contract by the club to the buyer of the clubs choice…..

A potential future teammate has gone into bat for Zach Merrett, as Hawthorn races against the clock to acquire the 251-game superstar 🌟 READ HERE 📝 bit.ly/3KE6W66

@triplemfooty A decision that is NOT consistent with the approach taken to other incidents this year. But if you’re consistently inconsistent ……

Right decision? Jordan De Goey is free to play preliminary final weekend after being fined for his bump on Adelaide's Josh Worrell last night 😳

@Bombers_Boss @SENBreakfast What gets neglected in that argument is that Essendon didn’t set out to have a strong draft hand in the 2020 draft. It was thrust upon them with the departure of Daniher a father/son who they were desperate to keep) and Saad (whose departure came out of left-field).

Interesting comments from Longmire on @SENBreakfast lining up rebuilding with strong drafts, which Essendon has failed to do when we’ve gone to the draft and looks that way this year 🤦🏼‍♂️

Need to flip the switch. Let's get to work in the second.

Travis Kelce fined for taunting Bills on Patrick Mahomes touchdown after not being penalized during game trib.al/MVQ9a5c

@essendonfc Yes he will

Will Zach win his FIFTH Crichton Medal or will a first-time winner be crowned? Watch from 7pm AEST to find out.

@AlbertThurgood @3AWisfootball No

@gusbuster40 @absoessendon 100% agree. Dodoro is an easy target in my opinion. I think the team have generally recruited and traded well. If you want to sack Dodoro - fine. But that won’t change the result or kicking 1.9 in the last quarter. D’Ambrossio is going ok at the Hawks.

@absoessendon He can recruit the players, but I believe we’ve had a poor development program for years. That’s been the main issue

Time to get this hashtag a trending folks #sackdodoro

@1116sen No

@AlTorrance23 @SamFaff @AlTorrance23 McKay got 5 coaches votes this week as well, meaning both coaches had him in their top 5. Hysterical 😂

@AlTorrance23 @SamFaff twitter.com/doncaldwelll/s…

Ben McKay has had a Barry Crocker. Uncontested touches 😂

@myjointaye He kicked two goals didn’t he? So our equal highest on the night? I think he did his job.

Mick’s on point here , Caddy outa the square plz

@Pudja_10 @VinceTaskunas One of the greats……

@VinceTaskunas Fuckwit

This guy hey 🧂🧂🧂

@absoessendon No

Hawthorn sit just 1 & a half games behind Essendon in 13th. Have the Hawks already gone past the Bombers after their rebuild?

@AFL @AAMI “They find themselves out of the top 4”. Essendon are still in the top 4, clear by 2 points…..😉 maybe for the next week only…..but let’s not start with the facts…..#🤦‍♂️

"I never really saw them as a genuine top four contender." Are the Bombers still unreliable? 😬 Watch The Round So Far, thanks to @AAMI: afl.com.au/video/1161218

@AFL Didn’t the Carlton player slide in?

Essendon will challenge Sam Weideman's three-match suspension for this incident in the VFL. Details: afl.com.au/news/1149957

@outbreezyWC He’s over the mark

okay.. who wants to explain this ludicrous 50m penalty that led to an essendon goal to me? #AFLTigersDons

@BomberRicko @BradKlibansky Essendon have played 4 of the top 5 sides this year. But that doesn’t suit his narrative. Are they playing sensational footy? Perhaps not - but they’re winning regardless.

@BradKlibansky Dream run? 4 of first 8 games were interstate. Been without our key forward (2MP), key mid (Parish) and best defender (Ridley) most of year. Crows game, if you saw it, we beat them in every key area. We just kicked poorly (10.18) and left the door ajar but still gritted it out

After 11 rounds, Essendon are 2nd on the ladder with a % of 104! That’s actually laughable. Don’t think there’s ever been a more average side in 2nd spot this far into the season. #AFLTigersDons
