I would very much doubt Bartlett would be sooking at something as trivial as this record. He would be staring down with the joy at the number of premierships shared with Bourke - especially compared with Selwood/Hawkins.

He's been on the phone to Francis, they are training for the 2021 draft
Yes especially practicing their face raking, eye manipulation, saying 'C'mon ump how about that for a free' while over acting (which Bartlett will be rusty on the last part, however it should come back naturally)

We'll see how they sound on Saturday night - Essendon play Melbourne.

The AFL media are probably just hyping a team with a large supporter base to try and get interest out of Essendon supporters. While this is all well and good in theory and would be seen as a promotion opportunity, what it ignores is that most football supporters, even those silly enough to support Essendon, have an IQ well into the double digits and this is not a convincing line to run with most people who have not had a lobotomy.

It is simply bad promotion to be so unrealistic as to hype a team who have just beaten a lowly opponent.

45000 football jurnos covering 5 of the shittest games you would see.
This isn't new.
Carlton win 2 games in a row they will be going on how Carlton has improved.
Essendon are miles away from success.
Hooker and Stewart aren't going to get them in the 8 let alone a flag

Yep. Apart from beating west coast over there, their other wins are against teams currently sitting 11, 13, 15, 17 & 18 on the ladder.

Jonathon Brown just gave Zac Williams one of the biggest bakings I’ve ever heard from an ex footballer to a current one.

Wow.

Not sure why the media hasn't highlighted Selwood going at Baker's face in the GF.
Can someone send the imagine to David king or John Ralph.
Because if it was lynch they would be bringing up stuff from the under 12's.

Probably not dissimilar to us
Very true. Apart from beating the dogs, we have only beaten teams currently 9, 10, 12, 13, 14 & 17th on the ladder. The big difference is the media are quick to highlight our losses to top 8 teams and don’t carry on that we are world beaters when we win against the bottom 10 teams like they do with the druggies

We’re the reigning premiers and a whole lot better than the Dons. We should be beating up on bottom 10 teams. With them it’s still a novelty.

Brayshaw is awful. Continually calling Geelong players by nicknames, The Danger, Hawk, Bliss etc have had to go the mute button. Can’t stand him and his boys club!
