Can’t help but think that the appointment of John Longmire to Essendon’s ranks will not only be a more pivotal appointment than McVeigh, but one of the most important moves in the last 25 years of the club. Very, very exciting stuff.

Can’t wait for all of the totally balanced commentary against Essendon supports after Voss inevitably has a solid game. It’s been done to death lol, let it go. Just be happy for the kid and let that be that. #AFLgrandfinal

This is so fucking sad.
Tucker Budzyn is gone.
Eight years old. Golden retriever. Michigan. The dog a lot of us watched grow up from a clumsy puppy into the face half the internet knew by name.
Lymphoma. Chemo was working. They thought he was turning the corner. The tumor was in his intestines. When it shrank it left a hole. Infection took him overnight on September 2. Courtney and Mike did everything. It was not enough.
He spent his last weeks at the park. In the pool. Wrestling Todd in the backyard. Chicken at 9 in the morning and 9 at night because that is how the medicine went down. One last rollerblade run. That dog lived all the way to the end.
I followed him from the start. Not because he was famous. Because he was a good dog who made people softer for a minute in a hard world.
Rest easy, Tucker. You earned the love.

Toby Greene has told the Ausmerican Aces podcast that he will meet with Geelong this week, as well as new Essendon coach Mark McVeigh.
Greene has a relationship with McVeigh from their time together at GWS

If this is Zach Merrett’s last game in the red & black - he’s leaving it all out there today.
It showcases his professional attitude on game day &
Jason Dunstall: I love that the coach has started him in the ruck tonight.
…he says about the North ruckman.
Stunning analytical commentary there from Chief

I fear this is one of the cases where one must consider leaving football before it leaves them.
Max’s injury history is horrendous. The Saints must surely be having some buyers remorse after his mammoth contract extension and playing for essentially none of it.
St Kilda forward Max King will miss the rest of the 2026 season after sustaining a hamstring injury in Sunday's win over North Melbourne.
King reported hamstring tightness midway through the third quarter and was withdrawn from the match. Scans have confirmed a strain to King's left hamstring.
"It's an incredibly disappointing outcome for Max, who has done everything possible throughout his rehabilitation to put himself in the best position to return," General Manager of Football Lenny Hayes said.
"He's an incredibly important part of our football club. We’ll continue to wrap our arms around him and provide all the support he needs as he works through this latest setback.
“Our focus now turns to ensuring Max undertakes a full pre-season to allow him to get back and play consistent senior football in 2027.”

One of the things I’m loving about the current Essendon side is just how many players don’t take a backwards step, go in to bat for their teammates and just show a bit of…passion? Fight? Mongrel?
Prior, Clarke, Roberts, Day-Wicks, May, Sharp, Durham.
I just love the mindset.
