@Tommy_Wolfe7 Thanks Tommy. Have any of these players elevated themselves into the genuine top 3-5 draft range already? Bombers fan, so attention is on the next draft crop already 😞

Talent leagues around the country are now in full swing and there’s been plenty of markers dropped by talented players across a variety of positions. While you wait for my first power rankings, here’s a reminder of my 30 to watch heading into 2026: readingtheplay.wordpress.com/2025/11/28/30-…

@DonCaldwelll I’ll be sitting in 2E with @davidking34 & @kanecornes and avoid the ‘Safe Space’ of 4C with the soup reheaters!! ☄️☄️☄️

The Essendon Edition. Where are you sitting? ✅ and most importantly 👇 Where are you NOT sitting? ❌ 🟥⬛️

@PrinceISname I’m more optimistic about what The Devils wil be able to put out there in 2028

@ForrestsMind You're about as optimistic as I am 😂

He can't keep getting a game can he? 8 disposals in 80 minutes (6 uncontested) 9 pressure acts in 80 minutes All that at 38% disposal efficiency 2 tackles in 80 minutes Constantly playing a player short every week with this

@davidking34 would have got this one!! #OnThePiss?? 🤔😜 #LongtimeBaller ☄️☄️☄️

@BradKlibansky The issue is that our top end experienced talent don’t work hard & contribute the way theirs does. Bont, Dale, Naughton, Lobb, English, Kennedy & Williams against Merrett, McGrath, Langford, McKay, Wright, Parish & Duursma. With the additional 3 being Perkins, Gresham & Guelfi 🤷🏻‍♂️

Average age tonight: Essendon: 25 years and 2 months Western Bulldogs: 25 years and 3 months Average games tonight: Essendon: 85 Western Bulldogs: 84.5

@davidking34 @kanecornes Can’t wait for 6:01 Monday!! #IrishCreamCornflakes ☄️☄️☄️

Is there a cash out available ? @kanecornes

@kanecornes Kingy right now…

My word. SIX ZERO ONE

@FlightPlanPod My question is would you take Petracca at Essendon for a leadership and elite preparation example? And woukd you consider trading Melbourne their first round pick back to them for him, with the kicker being that they pay a % of his wage for the remainder of the contract?

What's the best way to fast-track Essendon into consistently challenging for finals? The Brisbane method of bringing in Luke Hodge for his leadership on & off the field ostensibly makes sense. Nick Vlastuin is one guy to look at. Great leader, still playing at a high level, would help instil those flag-winning non-negotiables on the younger guys. Overpay him to make the switch and have it transition into a coaching role. What do you guys think?
