Re: Essendon
Kevin Sheedy is stepping down from the board, and it looks like Dodoro is leaving as well. Thoughts Jimbo, Essendon fans?

Dodoro is the worst list manager the comp has ever seen and a deadset parasite who has been protected all his career by Sheedy.Sheedy is a senile old fool who has well and truly stayed beyond his use by date

Re: Essendon
No more sugar hits or attempts at quick fixes. Need to absolutely gut the list and bottom out for a couple of years. Get a couple of decent drafts in before Tassie comes in.

Re: Essendon
How’s Gresham been this year Jim? Still a flaky tease of a player?
Probably played his best footy for the saints in 2017-19 before injuries and inconsistent form struck. Could make the difficult look easy and vice versa. Never quite developed into the player StK supporters thought/hoped he might.

Poorly skilled and soft as butter.
I’d cut our losses and get rid of him

Re: Essendon
Jim.
Essendon fans ringing into SEN after the game (I don’t know who the man behind the Mike was but seemed knowledgeable) led him to state that Essendon can not play Redmond, McKay, Kelly and Leverde in the same side.
Too big a call?

Too many crabs that move the ball sideways, loose momentum and then cough up the ball leaving us out of position.
We don’t have enough defenders who want to defend. McKay looks good when Ridley is there but looks at sea when he’s not.
Laverde and Kelly should be moved on or retired. Redman should be playing wing/HFF he ain’t a defender and won’t ever be
