Bomber News keeps pouring in but is it all just marketing hype??

Pre-season training begins at the Hangar and an old face finally departs the club but not before flipping a six figure bird at all concerned!

Great to see you again bomber boys love your show.

[@absolutelyessendon]

Thanks Sam

[@aussie_al]

​@@absolutelyessendon DT, what's going on with your application to sit on the board. You said during the season that if a seat became available you would put your hand. You've got my vote.

[@richardbehan8118]

The women's fight before the fixed fight was great to watch.

[@Dan262626]

To quote Marcus Aurelius, “The memory of everything is very soon overwhelmed in time."… That’s how I feel about the off season while I ponder glories of past generations long forgotten.

[@absolutelyessendon]

Love a little off season Marcus Aurelius.

[@Troyski.G]

Awesome stuff Legends. 100% agree with the leaving of some senior staff and a few senior players retiring there is an opportunity. This year's draft and how it unfolds will tell us much about what the club sees as priority from a list perspective.

[@absolutelyessendon]

Thanks for your kind words

[@Capital.Bomber]

Thanks

[@absolutelyessendon]

Many thanks. That helps with the coffee bill

[@貓莎MSha]

Great to see you guys back. Did you see Harry Jones sketch he is so cheeky. I always see him having a life in media. Love his act and humour. ❤😂

[@absolutelyessendon]

The Bomber version of The Office. Yep, nicely done. Jonesy is indeed a natural.

[@kevinhealey4116]

As a Carlton supporter I enjoy this channel, you guys are great.

[@rdizzy8537]

As an Essendon supporter, no one cares.

[@kevinhealey4116]

@ cool story bro

[@bezza961]

@@rdizzy8537 as an Essendon fan, stop being so obnoxious, good on him more the merrier to the channel!

[@everythingessendon548]

Keen to hear your thoughts after the Draft, should be an interesting couple of nights.

[@absolutelyessendon]

Intriguing for sure. Or it could be a total snooze fest.

[@louquay]

I refuse to let myself be even the slightest bit optimistic this pre season. I don't care if Richmond just give us the #1 pick for free, I'm not getting excited about anything

[@absolutelyessendon]

Sounds like you’re in a good place.

[@pottylad]

Smart, smart man!

[@zwski396]

Always love the cool whip reference. And yes, all the hype but im predicting bottom 6 finish, and im not mad about as long as Brad plays the god damn kids.

[@absolutelyessendon]

At last someone gets the Family Guy reference. Thank god!!

[@mattcristino9804]

Football just doesn't go away. I nearly subscribed to the Tyson fight but ended up watching the scene from The Hanger over where Tyson sings in the Air Tonight and has a swing at Zac Kalafinakis . No expectations on Essendon so long as we beat Carlton on Kings birthday long weekend

[@frankcinque5810]

I love your honesty about the bombers and if of course your dry wit If Harrison becomes a Joey Daniher we will have a small sniff of winning a final

[@absolutelyessendon]

Thanks for your kind words

[@mattisvettelfan5]

Good Video guys I have no expectation for next season I am disappointed we signed Puma for reason outside of footy but oh well looking forward to see Matt Rosa cook

[@absolutelyessendon]

We shall see

[@TheEthNick]

OMG A HOLOGRAM. Forget the Kako hype, we have a hologram‼️

[@AnthonyLeach-dk7mw]

Bombers are the magical mystery tour. spot on, I'm gonna take that ride.

[@dennisgreen6222]

thanks guys, needed a little bomber fix!

[@absolutelyessendon]

Thanks for dropping by

[@FranciscusH6618]

Great episode as always. Ever thought of uploading to Spotify too?

[@absolutelyessendon]

Are planning a few upgrades to our format and audio podcasts including Spotify are on the agenda. Thanks for tuning in.

[@zingleraster9124]

Fingers crossed in 2025 Perkins, Jones & Reid go next level. I’m not sure about Cox & more in particular his role in the side. We desperately need Kako to fill the dangerous small forward role. We also need a good small lock down back. A replacement for Laverde also needed. The draft will be very interesting. Keep it up boys.

[@richardbehan8118]

Didn't we keep Laverde?

[@absolutelyessendon]

Cheers and thanks for watching

[@zingleraster9124]

@ we did but if he is getting a regular game in 2025 then our backline is going backwards

[@dougkercher3364]

Yep let's burden a young teenager with the future of the club

[@richardbehan8118]

@dougkercher3364 I don't think anyone is doing that

[@humanbeing9340]

Time for a logo change. There's a fantastic concept that bobbed up on reddit about 3 years ago, and not only would it surpass the current emblem, but would be considered one of the best in the league. Regeneration is a necessity for evolution, and it appears that from the inside out, or from the hierarchy there needs to be a significant shift if this club is to compete with the Geelong's and Sydney's. I am not a fan of Scott, I think he is reactive as opposed to instinctive; he seems to respond only when fan and media scrutiny boils over, and he refuses to play youth. He appears rigid and stubborn, and his gameplan was in favour ten years ago. I say get Luke Hodge in. He is real, honest, sincere, and has the eye, a little like Sheedy.

[@absolutelyessendon]

Luke Hodge. Yes

[@clubslaben]

WHEEZE THE JUICE

[@HeavyCarts]

Yes, Brad Scott is the right coach, but mostly because he is the one we have now. As you highlighted, we need stability and that means at all levels including coaching.

[@absolutelyessendon]

We agree!

[@wenisman]

i hope they give tsatas a run this year, hes a contested ball winner and can rotate with merret, as merret is 29 so he doesnt have a lot of years at the level to which he plays.

[@absolutelyessendon]

Agree

[@jarrah1364]

THE LADS ❤

[@absolutelyessendon]

Haha…indeed! Have a great day

[@jarrah1364]

@absolutelyessendon you too boys, doing some good work

[@Drakenhax]

That's not how the bidding system works. We have to use our next available picks consecutively. And if we have left over points from picks 28 and 31 we get a pick back of the value difference. We will look at trying to get back in time the first round with the melb future first. And if we do, Rosa will have turned pick 9 and 38 in to 2 first rounders and 5 picks from 41. Absolute master stroke.

[@absolutelyessendon]

Many thanks for the clarification

[@StevenBoyle-fg4nc]

Check out Everything Essendon if you want to know who we should draft. Felix should work for Matt Rosa!

[@absolutelyessendon]

He’s definitely the recruiting guru

[@andrewforbes146]

Wb guys lets go Bombers

[@absolutelyessendon]

Cheers

[@damiward]

Prediction: Zach Reid to have an amazing pre season where he ticks off every box; plays in round 1 bringing his total games played to double figures before breaking down with some freak injury and missing another entire season.

[@absolutelyessendon]

Oh no,not again!

[@FluffyKing43]

They need to go back to windy hill till they figure out wtf is wrong with the Hanger surface.

[@Prodigy97cast1]

I reckon harry jones is in for a big year.

[@absolutelyessendon]

He’d want to. Don’t think there will be any further contracts if he doesn’t make some substantial gains in his output. Gotta be kept as a forward, not a winger.

[@TheEthNick]

Is this a post from 3 years ago?

[@richardbehan8118]

Yep. It's time

[@StevenBoyle-fg4nc]

Bonnie Toogood didn’t play in the final against Freo!

[@absolutelyessendon]

Smokin just loves her though!

[@arthurt6853]

Oh god its too early too have guys just accept defeat from now

[@barrybevis7028]

Why don't we try and get sponsorship from Boeing.

[@gerardleach8943]

Don't touch on the Aflw please

[@zwski396]

Why? They are Essendon. God forbid we show love to the women for 10 minutes. You'd be surprised, the girls play with more heart than our boys have in the past 2 decades.

[@john8443]

Rubbish product

[@AnthonyLeach-dk7mw]

agree. different game.

[@absolutelyessendon]

We don’t really cover the women’s game but a finals appearance is worth a shout out.

[@TheEthNick]

For shirts to be “too sweaty”, you’d need to raise a sweat….so this must be fake news 📰

[@absolutelyessendon]

Glad you picked that little red herring!

[@stuartking2335]

I only see insta pics and other social media crap from the players and club - nothing to do with footy

[@TheEthNick]

Essendon fans are ‘sucked in’ extraordinaires, so yes, I watched the farce that was the Tyson v Paul “fight”….

[@anidiotabroad5318]

Sponsersheep? You from new zealand

[@Capital.Bomber]

Great to see you back boys. AD seems to have got a payout. Well after 30 odd years perhaps he deserved it but onwards and upwards! What has Matt Rosa got installed for us this season? What indeed! Maybe a 25 yo surprise.

[@absolutelyessendon]

A 25 year old surprise? Do tell?

[@ideaphile]

Until they start performing, it's all just hype. 20+ years of BS and misguided promises makes for healthy skeptics.

[@absolutelyessendon]

The healthiest of sceptics!

[@TheEthNick]

If Essendon gift non-22 worthy players a game for Dreamtime because they’re indigenous, then it sums up the club….

[@TheEthNick]

@ EFC, one of many corporations negatively impacted by DEI….

[@aussie_al]

If the US Vice President can get away with saying she's black then surely we could muster a few players and say they're indigenous.

[@JF-oz3mv]

Dutton is better than Albo (not by a mile, but better). It's a wonder the woke supporters didn't ask for a new sponsor lol.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Same old story. Don't believe the hype.

[@absolutelyessendon]

Not even a little bit??

[@TheGunmanChannel]

@absolutelyessendon not one bit at all.

[@roryalgate872]

Great too see you back....while I'm not a fan of Dodoro.....let's be honest he is a small part. Look how many player have been in our system and done nothing...then go to opposition teams and flourish. I love our club but am more then prepared for more mediocre performances next year.

[@Hok1044]

You forgot to mention Nick Watson this episode 🥰😍🤎💛🤎💛✨✨✨✨ kayo is a scrub compared to the WAZ. 🧙‍♂️🏜️🦅🤎💛✨

Even the Wiz reckons Kako is the best small forward to come on the scene in 10 years
