@ljsutton98@kent_hodder Said on draft day Caddy was the easy choice there, a rare miss by JT. Missed Curnow and missed caddy, just can't hit on a key forward JT his Achilles heel. Windsor and tholstrop might come good but very green at the moment.
Turner has to come off Caddy because Windsor can't tackle, ball ends up in the hands of Caddy for an easy goal.
Caleb needs to find a way to impact defensively otherwise he needs to find his way to the VFL.
You could argue that Essendon has more young talent than Melbourne? They’ve got a really decent number of good young players. AND I bet the media narrative changes from “they’re cooked” to this ^
An often overlooked element of successful footy sides - the ability to win ugly, when the game isn’t on your terms.
@freodockers had their ugly game last night, hung around, and won the big moments.
Sign of maturity early in the season.

'BRUTAL' 11-YEAR BEST HAS 'COMPLETE' FREO PRIMED 💪
They have the talent, goalkicking firepower, defensive discipline and (finally) offensive gears.
But now a toughness and edge that further boosts their flag credentials.
So, how far can they go?

On Jack Steele, It’s a bit of a shame we sold our soul a little, but it’s a move for 2027 and beyond, not 2026.
Similar to Membrey, we needed to give opportunities to others Garcia, Pou, Boxshall, Hall.
Dees are getting a nice sugar hit right now, we’re on the long game 🤞🏻
@_all_gone_now@azisme13 BH would cost close to 3 first rounders though. That’s a lot to weigh up. Basically saying before Tassie comes in that he’s the missing piece. Whether we’re in a position to do that or not is debatable, as there are other holes to fix. See how the rest of the year plays out
Just can’t agree with the narrative Carlton isn’t set up to be contending for finals.
Yes lost TDK/SOS/Curnow, but why bring in 3x 27-28yos Ainsworth/Hayward/Florent and keep McGovern if you aren’t wanting to go deep?
2025: 8th in age
2026: 6th
Severely underperforming
Jay Clark is quite close with Zac Merrett’s manager (Nick Gieschen) - who also manages Harley Reid. He spun the same shit about Harley before he resigned. Dont forget Clayton Oliver as well. He pushed for the cats to sign him because Gieschen was in his ear. Mass flog
