[Purple 77]

Can't wait to see Joel Smith in action today  8)

And I suppose Jordan Lewis.

[Bill Manspeaker]

looks a bit windy out there

[Jukes]

Hogan vs Cloke <3 <3 <3

[Ricochet]

Cloke will average 150 this year

[LF]

It's battle of the hair styles in the one,Johannisen not sure what look he is actually going for and Spencer looks like a caveman haha

[LF]

Josh Wagner looks to have hurt his knee now as well

[Bill Manspeaker]

can hold a tackle Joel Smith

[Mat0369]

Every time I look up Joel Smith is doing something positive. He's rookie listed but he is the son of Shaun. Only downside is the Dees have a pretty strong rebounding half back line with Salem, Hunt and Hibberd to name a few.

[Purple 77]

Don't want to say I told you so but...

looking good mate!

Is it too early to say Essendon got the trade deal of all time when Melbourne gave pick 25 for Melksham?

[LF]

Luke Dahlhaus has been awesome today

[Purple 77]

A lot of positives... but gee, that last 10 minutes was concerning. We desperately need to work on slowing the game down when we are trying to hold on to a lead, basically did everything wrong.

Still, Hogan was great, Joel Smith was super in the first half, Salem had sublime moments, Oliver is class.

But yeah. Some mental toughness still required.

Mate never forget when we picked up pick 16 for Andrew Lovett
