Watching Oscar McInerney after the siren tells you everything about the selfless nature of the bloke.
Absolutely loved the way his team paid him tribute by all touching his jersey before running out too.
👏 👏 👏
Always loved Bomber's press conferences, the bloke knew the club had deep-seated issues and guess what? the exact same issues plague the club 10 years later.
Great share

Dyson Heppell deserved a home farewell game. Not just because of who he is and the sentimental aspect, but because he's a far better selection this week than several players named. I just don't get it.

Is he the best wingman in the league?
🟥⬛️
This is a fucking embarrassment.
Patrick Cripps can genuinely assault a bloke last year and win a Brownlow no worries, and this is somehow a week.
Pathetic.
Great to see Hepp getting his confidence back.
Over the past 5 games he's averaging 22 disposals & 9 marks. Not to mention, he did not have a turnover last night against the Blues.

We are a complete disaster under Brad Scott.
The Alwyn Davey Jr hate makes absolutely zero sense.
Last night led the team for pressure acts (22) had 5 score involvements & a goal.
His 12 games of AFL footy proves he's one of our top pressure players & that role is so important in today's game.
Will only get better!
🟥⬛️
My heart wanted James Hird, but my head can rest easy knowing that we ended up with Brad Scott. Love the way he operates and think he will be so good for our club.
Can't wait to see his first address as
@essendonfc
coach tomorrow morning.
Exciting times ahead!

Who the heck claimed Essendon to have the easiest draw from here?
Fremantle (away) - tough
Port Adelaide - very tough
Adelaide - tough
Geelong (in Geelong) - very tough
Western Bulldogs - tough
Sydney - tough
West Coast
North Melbourne
GWS (away) - tricky
Collingwood - very hard
Nic Martin should be this year's Rising Star.
Last week:
22 disposals, zero turnovers.
Today at half time:
17 disposals, zero turnovers.
He's bloody special.

Jordan Ridley absolutely deserved the Yiooken Award tonight. Outstanding comeback game and the bright spot on what was a pretty difficult watch tonight.

I don't give two shits if you don't think James Hird can or should coach Essendon again.
There is a huge contingent of Bomber fans who want this to happen again and like Kevin Sheedy, I have no doubt in my mind that he will be a great coach.
🟥⬛️
Everyone has their opinion on Ben Hobbs.
To me, I see:
- Pressure
- Contest
- Ground Balls
and 2nd, 3rd and 4th efforts.
Things I don't see from some players selected each week. I truly hope we don't lose him to another club.

Dylan Shiel:
Pick

in '2019 we could have had Zac Butters and Will Day or Sam DeKoning, Kysaiah Pickett, Mitch Georgiades.
Great to see glimpses of Darcy Parish at his best again.
