You’re not seriously suggesting this is something they, as a group, got told this week, differently to last week?
Not when every single person at the club - coach, assistant coaches, captain, players, bootstudder - keeps saying the same ■■■■■■■ thing,regarding not executing/sticking to their plans?
The bottom line is one week, bad or good, means very little.
If good Essendon turn up 20 times a year, doesn’t matter if we’re a complete stinking turd the other two. If bad Essendon turn up 20 times, doesn’t matter if we beat both grand finallists by 120.
I asked you to repeat it.
Surely you didn’t miss that?
But let’s be clear.
You have not mentioned a player’s name.
You have not mentioned a position change.
You have not mentioned a tactic.
You have not mentioned a change in playing focus.
You.
Have said.
Nothing.
So you don’t get to tell anyone they’re talking bullshit.
I can tell you 100% that the whole playing group and the coaches were more dirty than even you were about last week, and the media had little do with it.
I appreciate that you can’t say what you know.
But I’m not just talking about this week.
Or last week.
And I am definitely not talking about the last fifteen years.
I am talking about our last two home games against Brisbane.
I’m talking about our last two games against the Bulldogs.
We haven’t played Carlton yet, but it wouldn’t surprise me at all to see Hooker forward and Brown back in against them.
I mean, I hope we’re not that stupid and arrogant, but I remain to be convinced.
I guess what I’m saying is that I hope you can see that even if I’m wrong, ■■■■■■ hell, all visible indicators do not suggest that.
