Great to see the smaller less successful clubs like the Hawks, Pies and Cats get some decent players in. And rightfully from the powerhouse clubs like the Saints and Bombers. Now we just need to give the lions a leg up with some nice players from their academy. Love it AFL.

This story about Sir Don Bradman 😍
In 1978, the 70-odd-year-old Bradman faced probably the fastest Australian pacer, Jeff Thomson, and two other young bowlers, batting for 20 minutes without any protective gear.

Final word vomit on how I feel about all of this, what a fkn rollercoaster, from the club finally pulling the trigger on Scott, to fully believing a redemption arc was in motion only to come out of it all with the club more fractured than it’s ever been. #Essendon

On 23 August 1989 about two million people in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania held hands in one unbroken chain from Tallinn through Riga to Vilnius, for fifteen minutes at 7pm. The date was exactly fifty years after the pact that handed them to the USSR.

Media going hard with McVeigh as favourite for the gig. In polls, fans have overwhelmingly favoured Hird.
Hard to see it down to nothing but a 2 horse race that gets announced this week.
Now with all the info, where do you sit at the pointy end of decision time?

The crowd of 24,767 is Essendon's lowest at the MCG since Round 19, 1993 (excluding COVID years) when they only attracted 22,813, also against Sydney, on a night when Simon Minton-Connell kicked eight goals for the Swans. The Bombers' two lowest crowds at the MCG since 1993 have both come this year #AFLDonsSwans

I’m all in on Hird now, I’ve never seen someone want a job so much and do so much work in the background to ensure everything is in place to succeed, if players from other clubs are delaying their decision to wait and see on Hird that’s just huge. The romance has got me! ❤️🖤

🚨🗣️ Ruud Gullit on why AC Milan had one of the greatest defences line in football history:
"We worked relentlessly on our physical condition and tactics. Everything was built on discipline, positioning and teamwork."
"In training, we'd play with just a goalkeeper, four defenders and two midfielders against eleven attacking players."
"I played as a right winger against Paolo Maldini every day. I couldn't score. It was impossible."
"Even Marco van Basten couldn't score. Maybe you had a chance from long range, but breaking through that defence? Impossible."
"Imagine it just four defenders against eleven attackers, and nobody could penetrate. That back four of Mauro Tassotti, Alessandro Costacurta, Franco Baresi and Paolo Maldini was unbelievable."
"Their movement was perfect. They defended as one unit, like a machine. Every step was synchronized."
"If you couldn't beat them and had to pass backwards, they immediately stepped forward together. They controlled every inch of the pitch."
"Everything they did was perfectly coordinated. Playing against them felt like trying to beat a machine."
