Kiddy Coleman comes to Essendon specifically identifying our strong indigenous heritage as a factor.
Days later, Nik Cox is delisted. Which number did he wear?
13. The number made famous by indigenous icon Michael Long.
Coleman taking over 13 makes all the sense in the world
It's staggering anyone took this seriously.
Yeah, the 36yo who today announced his retirement, will renege within 24 hours to join a club that won only two games rather than staying at a top-4 team who's a genuine flag contender...
It should require a licence to use twitter
And next on the non-sarcastic, completely earnest Essendon off-season of 2026, I can exclusively reveal the Bombers are close to signing Alex Rance, Tony Liberatore, Tony Modra, Phillip Matera, Darryl White, Bret Kirk & Clive Waterhouse
MORE TO COME
Yeah sure Dane... ✌️retiring✌️
This ain't our first rodeo my man... Sheedy pulled Mal Michael out of retirement & obviously this is the trajectory of Rampe's future.
See you nice & early in 2026, big preseason ahead 👏👏
Did ASADA tick this off?
Looks pretty performance enhancing to me...
The AI race is on at AFL clubs. And Essendon great James Hird has jumped behind the steering wheel as global head of sports at Affinda. He and CEO Tim Toner say clubs (including Hawthorn) are already ahead of the pack. Big three months in this space.

Was @kanecornes ever held accountable for the 2026GF Wharfie Time debacle?
Thanks for everyone who's kept patient on the podcast side of things, & improbably, helped me grow the account dramatically in engagement.
I've debated internally about whether or not I can do it alone, but fk it, I'm going all in for 12 months & we'll see.
After a few speedbumps - my new FP era will *finally* begin Friday ❤️🖤

"I like Farrow. He should be kicking in… he needs to be in priority positions. That's what he's gonna be doing in the future.”
Ethan Drever has some thoughts about the Bombers, and the Bombers have some thoughts about the pick one chance. #AFLDraft

Interesting article on some draft stand outs & their childhood teams, with a few Dons fans thrown in the mix.
*HOWEVER*
I don't recall a single Essendon player ever wearing the famous "red and gold" kit, but i could be wrong 😅

This is one of my all-time Round 1 wins.
Crows were fresh off the 2017 GF & we lost in an EF to the Swans. Adelaide were heavy favourites & took a 20 point lead to the last.
Then the game got flipped on its head.
We steamrolled them in front of 43,016 fans, with maybe 300-400 Crows supporters/attendees.
The roar was insane. The kind of pop you can only get from a 99.99% crowd of home fans in a stadium with a roof ❤️🖤
Ask @nuggi if he remembers thinking i ignored him on the way out only to hug him and lift him over my head 😅
Side note: Bruce was closing in on retirement soon at this point, but he still runs rings around the garbage callers these days.
We didn't know how good we had it with him & Dennis (RIP). One of the greatest commentator duos in sports history
I understand people are worried about Tassie's 1st draft & their amount of picks, but that doesn't guarantee success.
In their first draft, GWS had a formidable suite of picks, but it's fair to say it wasn't the franchise cornerstone they anticipated.
A year later they once again dominated the top 10 but left some serious talent on the board for a few busts
Just when you thought the Solly saga has reached its logical conclusion, something like this happens to remind you of how shambolic his return to Essendon really was
If Arki Butler is still on the board around 6-8, we have to make that happen.
Take the fast, powerful & bankable Ethan Drever, then trade back in to get Butler, a match-winning talent with flare & f50 swagger we haven't seen in years.
My dream scenario ❤️🖤
Zach Merrett is a lot more versatile than he's given credit for.
I reckon him at either HB or HF would work in a top-4 team, & while he's no Nick Watson, he's got the aptitude to be impactful directly on the scoreboard from open play.
Either way, a fully fit Merrett & Day might not be Bont & Butters, but they'll be right in the mix for second best midfield duo in the league... but if Mitchell needs to, he's got a very good Mr Fixit in positions that require a steady head & elite skills
I appreciate the Hawthorn fans I've encountered recently that don't feel the need to belittle or be a prick for no reason.
I can't stand people who reply with variants of "like an Essendon fan can talk".
So that would mean had they been top-4 in 2026, the exact same point verbatim would suddenly become astute?
Personal attacks (especially with slurs) over a footy opinion/joke is far beyond the line of acceptable & I've reporting all of them going forward
Jack Ginnivan is a seriously impressive young man. I've went out of my way to consume some Ginni content this week & I couldn't do a faster 180 on my opinion.
In hindsight Hawthorn & Collingwood's fortunes have basically reversed after that trade & Hawthorn has a left-field leader who's making a habit out of proving people wrong...
