This season is shaping as if the AFL’s equalisation policy and the football injury gods have finally come into their own
Watching the GWS game on Sunday and it was striking how much a good team suddenly resembled Essendon in their incompetence
A few injuries and above all a loss of confidence and a team appears mid table at best
The question is can Essendon regain its confidence quickly and start playing the very good football they showed they’re capable of?
That’s the progress measure this year
