Essendon football Club. Not so much. And I hope like F*ck they prove me wrong. But I can’t see it. I’m just glad that football is done for 6 months, so I don’t have to watch our inconsistent & incompetent club for a while.
Pretty sure JD himself indicated he should have been more forthcoming regarding how he was going
For a player with a laid back attitude who probably was like “it’s nothing much, I’m fine” when in reality he was pushing through pain and struggling more than letting on that’s where it becomes grey
If he only telling them it’s a bit sore and they modify his training mid week and he says he is right to play it’s a tough one
He loves playing footy. And would have kept putting himself up.
As much as I love the club, Essendon would probably be the last club i’d wanna play for if I wanted success.
We are laughing stock from the CEO down to the bootstudder.
Last years contract extension of Worsfold is evidence of that. Our refusal to move him on as well as the CEO and admit fault just adds more weight to it. We’re a basketcase of a club.
Honesty about these things is selfless and required for the good of the team.
The relevance being you trying to dissociate any blame of JD’s when he had a major part in pushing on to be played each week
Whilst many players manage groin soreness, it becoming full OP doesn’t seem as common if managed properly which requires open and honest communication from the player
