Compare Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera's calm and composed set shot in the dying minutes to Nick Watson's against the Crows tonight.
He genuinely did not want the pressure on him with the game in the balance
I'd also like to express my fondness for that particular beer
Living close to the MCG has hidden benefits.
Like putting the footy on TV to see if it's raining or not, rather than stepping outside the house.
Work smarter
Squelch is a fun word to say

I went to the footy yesterday - those Tiger fans are good value.
A couple of rowdy guys were telling Tex Walker to do the power stance, so from then on any time Rich kicked a goal, I said either 'that's your goal Tex!' Or 'that's your man Tex!' Even when he's benched.
They loved it. Good clean fun
All the Adam Saad fans aren't making much noise with them down 40 points.
Fair weather woofers
Currently watching Friendship. Less than 15 minutes in and Slipknot is blasting in the background in a driving scene.
Yep, I'm going to love this
Remember when the All Australian selectors lost their collective minds and deemed that the game's best tagger reserved a spot in the team?
What a ridiculous concept that was
Ed Langdon of all people exposing the absolute myth that you can't tag Nick Daicos
Wtf were Port Adelaide thinking handing over an under contract Dan Houston to Collingwood for cents on the dollar?
It flies under the radar when compared to North Melbourne trading a top 5 pick for 27, but geez it's an ordinary trade that looks worse every week
It's always from someone who's never played and doesn't have the slightest idea how taxing running 10-15km every game is on your body
I don't give a fuck what any of the negative nellies say about not getting the points in the last fortnight.
Aside from the opening quarters - Essendon has completely outplayed two teams that are meant to be significantly better with a host of gun players out.
Fucking love what we're building
North Melbourne deserves zero help from the AFL going forward.
There's bad luck, but trading pick 2 (currently) to Richmond for pick 27 in 2024 is ineptitude of the lowest order.
It made no sense on the night and even less now
This was one of my favourite eps this season
I absolutely love that we're able to have listeners willing to engage and ask questions for us to cover while also recording an episode just like a glorified pub discussion.

Buy me bonestorm or go to hell
Next time
Met @jezmond.bsky.social for the first time yesterday. What a fantastic and affable guy he is. Genuinely one of the best people I've ever met via Essendon fandom
It's actually insane how other teams accept way unders in a trade scenario with Geelong.
A first and a second rounder for Bailey Smith and Patrick Dangerfield as compensation is utterly fucking ridiculous.
Even pick 15, 17 (2021) and 18 for Jeremy Cameron was highway robbery.
26 for Sydney moves so similarly to Luke Parker, you'd be forgiven for thinking he was never traded
Like him or loathe him, in a redraft of 2023, Nick Watson easily retains his spot inside the top five, and probably goes even earlier
The comms team is foaming at the mouth over Johnny Noble having 900+ metres gained, but he's also got 13 turnovers to his name.
Who gives a shit how many metres you've gained if over a third of your possessions are turnovers
Hawthorn fans are one loss away from stopping to pretend they actually care about footy
RIP Robert Walls.
An innovative genius and my favourite colour commentator of all time
At least Happy got the head
I absolutely hate it when afl players spend their entire career avoiding the media and saying they hate it, only to turn around and cash in post-career
Good to see Jakey Stringer finding something resembling good form at GWS.
He's kicked three goals in the final quarter after only having the one touch leading into the fourth
The constant adulation for Collingwood annoys the absolute fuck out of me.
The club so badly mismanaged their TPP that they had to give Grundy, Stephenson, Treloar & Phillips away.
They got an all-time bail out in the form of father sons & academy players to paper over their diabolical decisions
I'm proud that @jasperchellappah.bsky.social is in his villain phase and doesn't give a fuck how proactive they are 😅👏

Gary Lyon apparently thinks Tom Bellchambers is Cale Hooker.
"That chase was like Tommy Bellchambers against Buddy.
"G'day to Tommy if you're watching." 😅
