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

Melbourne needed the GF in another state to win it. When footy returned to the MCG, how'd that work out? Oh hang on...

I'll never get sick of @CalTwomey's nicknames for prospective draftees every year

Remember when the AFL made every team give up players to prop up the fledging Brisbane Bears? We gave them Roger Merrett, who went on to be one of the best Bears ever. It's only fair that they hand us Ashcroft x2, Morris, Dunkley & Lohmann as reparations. Then we're even 🙂‍↕️

All things going to plan; Langford, Parish & 2MP will all notch up their 200th in 2027, with Bowes, Duursma & Redman set to surpass that mark on 2028.

The Saints are all in & I absolutely love their audacity. Appreciate teams that defy convention in order to find a different way to win. Sainters swinging for the fences

It's extremely unfair for Kingy to pot Andy McGrath for not finishing inside the B&F top 10 as captain. Prior to 2026, McGrath had 3-straight 4th placed seasons alongside a 5th & 6th finishes in previous years. This season was an aberration. The pressure was immense, but what did you expect? It can be argued that 12 months ago he was thrust into the impossible task following a disastrous trade period due to his predecessor going scorched earth. Cut him some slack

How quickly do you reckon norf fans will be going back & deleting their old tweets shitting on Tsatas? If they pick him up after doing a pre-season there, within 2 hours there'll be a wasteland of "this content is unavailable"

Essendon has already said it won't, but will instead bid on Dougie Cochrane at pick 1. Talk about milking the Dons to bid on Walker at 1 cow completely dry!

Don't let anyone say 'this is all about money" because it really isn't. Kiddy will play an active role in the indigenous community - specially designed to help the club re-engage with its rich indigenous legacy. It's been a damn longway coming

What's the worst loss you've seen live? For me: Round 3, 2007 against Carlton. We had control of the entire match (leading by 48 points) until Fev, who was goaless for Q1, broke loose, kicked 8 & buried us. I drove 3.5 hours alone & went to the game solo. Then stayed another night to see a few bands but was so bummed out i didn't even crowd surf. That's when you know something is off with me...

Jesus this is embarrassing. Brisbane likely wouldn't exist without Essendon. We gave them superstars including the best ever Bear, Roger Merrett. Rather than you vitriol, you should be thanking Kevin Sheedy. He was good enough to help them succeed when he really didn't have to

I'm not sure if this is the genuine @elijah_hollands, but his Twitter banter is magical

It seems like a small detail, but flying Kiddy's family down to his meeting is a classy move. I love that we're finally regaining an identity in the best way possible. Spike has been spoken about so glowingly from players he coached. This feels like a prime example why

The good graces a threepeat gives you is almost bulletproof, but in a 12 month stretch Brisbane lost Kiddy Coleman, Sam Marshall, Will McLachlan, Neale & Starcevich. That'd raise 100 red flags at other clubs, but Brisbane's in the rare position to say "so what?" & mean it

Ask Mr Davey & ye shall receive! essendonfc.com.au/news/21519…

Look, I can objectively acknowledge that even though it's trite, hanging shit on Essendon for the finals drought just works on almost every level... Unless Essendon has won a flag more recently. I don't understand how people are still so silly in that scenario...
