Brisbane played Geelong in Rd10. Six rounds later, five games for both teams, they meet again. What a fixture.
"There's opportunity there if we're good enough."
Chris Fagan looks ahead to Brisbane's next two games against the Swans and Cats.

Essendon’s 2026 NGA prospect Blake Justice put in a stellar performance in his comeback for Calder yesterday.
Some 259 days since his last game he was so impressive.

Both Setterfield & Tsatas are unsigned for 2027.
I know which one I’d be re-signing first… and I wouldn’t be signing the other. #28yoatthis3rdclubovera22yopick5

Over the past 13 months I have travelled all over Victoria to see players in the 2026 draft pool.
And here's my footage of the guys I rank in the top 10.
With my Essendon hat on I would love to draft Harry Van Hattum. Welsh and Solomon may already have sat down with him. I can see the headline: When Harry Met Solly!
Arki Butler would also be a great pick up. Fast, elusive, creative small who can mark. An Essendon fan and grandson of former Bomber Allan Davis.
My bolters are Harvie Cooke and Harrison Leeder, both from the Northern Knights.
Exclusive footage of my 11-20 rankings, plus my notes on my top 20 players, is on my Patreon (which is $5 per month).
There’s also regular Essendon NGA updates, the next being this weekend

Essendon Rd13 review 🆙 on #thebombersblog
Tough 💊 to swallow after a good start. Here I show the numbers between what worked early & changed later. Also had to express what I want in the future, immediately.

Essendon only had 3 one-on-one contests in the front half. Not inside 50, the whole front half.
The AFL avg is just over 10.
5 times they’ve had more than the avg.
The most they’ve had in a game this yr is 17 vs GWS & 2nd most 15 vs GC.
Reason?

How do you want to develop your forwards Essendon?
Imagine what it’s like for them atm. What’s to learn from this game style?
Trust them. Let them show what they can do.
I’ve said for far too long, how do you know what you’ve got until you play a brand that lets them play.

-Essendon look good off turnover✅
-Carl much better from clearance❌
-Essendon’s ball movement is based on contest❌
-Carl ball movement through handball receives & overlap❌
Need Ess to continue to apply pressure because if it drops away, the scoreboard will flip #godons

Attention Essendon & Matt Rosa.
Fremantle had six shots at goal off turnover in a quarter, a 40% strike rate. All due to leg speed one way or another. #speedkills
