Keep the kid in now for the year. It's going to be very very interesting to see how Parish, who will, slot back into the guts. Merrett, Durham and Caldwell absoluely killing it.

as a pies supporter, Essendon deserved to win this game and they should've won by 7 or 8 goals We just don't know how to put in a 4 quarter performance, we always put effort in one quarter and then expect that to be enough. We can't have that mentality in games against Geelong or Carlton otherwise we will lose by 10 plus goals in both games. I'm absolutely sick of always relying on coming back in the last quarter it's just not going to work anymore, Full credit to the Bombers they deserved to win this game so much more, only losing by 12 points is flattering and doesn't show that we played good at all. Only played one good quarter that's it, should've lost by 50

[@helicoptermn1463]

Bombers fan here, Hi, you guys were better in the first quarter then we just obliterated you guys after, we deserved our pressure and we can be a better team in the future, best of luck for the pies vs Geelong. We have Melbourne and I feel like it’s gonna be easy because if lay year in gather round and how Melbourne are playing We were the better team and we should of win by much more than 12 but a win is a win

You may disagree with me about this.😅 but I'm ok for Collingwood to be out of 8 (as a sports fan).
