Just why did Essendon get rid of D'ambrosio?! :unsure:
Brad Scott doesn’t like blooding youngsters (least amount of debuts-3 since 2023 (as of end of July 2024)) and the Bombers have featured amongst the 2-6 teams to use the least amount of players in both 2023 and 2024 which is counter intuitive for a staunch non resultist. Better directed to a Bombers supporter or closer follower as I pay little interest but the impression seems to be the more experienced/senior players have plenty of free passes to use whereas those less experienced are on a shorter leash and thus pointless to stay with a lack of job security or opportunities, if receiving offers elsewhere.

Enjoying watching Errol warm up with a soccer ball before they start. Hope he has as much control today with footy as he does the round ball, as he is taking the proverbial just having a muck around.

It makes me feel sick. One could easily tell from his first few games he had a beautiful kick and the makings to become a quality player...
I agree. I quite liked what I saw at times last season. You'd thought he was worth persevering with, over some of that 26-27yo near deadwood you have!!!
