I wish Essendon was in as much disarray as Brisbane are.
We areā¦
So where are our flags then?
The two are mutually exclusive. We are in disarray and have no flags. The Lions are in disarray and have 2 flags!
How exactly are we in disarray currently?
Yes. Weāve been a mess in the past, but Iām curious as to what you think still puts us in disarray.
The club is committed, standards are improving, training top class, drafting the best itās been for years, social media from club is outstanding and our support staff and coaches are finally aligned for the future.
The doesnāt sound like disarray to me. We just need to start winning and staying healthy and hopefully great things are coming.
I think we found Welshyās account.
Expect the Cannons squads to be released in the next week, have heard up to 12 Essendon tied players will be amongst the groups
Go on ā¦
Very easy statement to make, but what is improving?
Iāve got to admit Iām sceptical every time someone says our drafting has improved. You canāt know this until those kids become elite players.
I wouldnāt be. The term is improved⦠not that its good.
Itās easy to tell itās improved because every kid has shown an AFL attribute or more. In the past weāve had kids come and go and we are all still wondering what they ever saw in them.
Well ok, thatās a low bar. We need to do better than that or itās still a failure.
This is 100% correct. You might see improved attributes like the player is an elite kick or is super fast, but whether they end up good AFL players generally takes 3-4 years to determine. Assuming they last that long.
