On this week’s Don The Stat Match Preview, Jono and Ian reflect on an emotional and draining week for the Essendon community, the deeper meaning behind supporting the club, and what comes next for the Bombers.

The boys break down:

  • The decision to move on from Brad Scott
  • Whether Essendon’s long-term strategy can survive another coaching change
  • The resilience shown in the Richmond loss despite more injuries
  • Darcy Parish’s enormous Dreamtime performance
  • Kane Cornes earning a Barrett Award nomination
  • Mid-season draftee Jaxon Artemis and what he adds to the list
  • West Coast’s improvement in 2026 and the challenge awaiting in Perth
  • The tactical and structural changes fans want to see under Dean Solomon

There’s also discussion around Essendon’s youth movement, list build, clearance struggles, Harley Reid, Bailey Williams, Jake Waterman and how the Bombers can respond after one of the toughest weeks the club has faced in years.

A reflective, emotional and analytical episode from the Don The Stat team.
