Sack all the frauds. They are the most softest players I have seen play for this club in my time. Some of the young fellas in the VFL had a good game. Bring them in.

The preview thread was embarrassing for a club that, before today, had won 1 of their last 28 games.
Delusional with how bad we actually are.

Game plan:
- Backwards first option. Switch no matter what.
- Everyone go for the mark.
- Wait until the opposition mans up. Then kick. See 1. Crucial.
- Quarter ends before red time.

Yes it was me, Iām still in shock of how bad our game plan and lack of structure is, we had a lot of talent out there today that is capable of playing way better than that.
I will not suggest we win another game for the rest of the season, promise.

Letās hope you still feel this way in five years time when we are still bottom four with yet more work to doā¦.i agree btw
We need a package. With the compromised drafts itās gonna be hard to add the half a dozen elite talents required over the next 3-4 years.
Redman looks like the only player that actually believes he can beat his opponent.
We certainly donāt play like we think we can. Our entire gameplan seems to avoid contests at all costs.

versus
- we are and continue to be genuinely ****** up and ****

Not seeing anything that convinces me that Sollly is the answer.
Itās like pulling teeth watching us play, everything we do is such hard work for no reward.
Ridley having no awareness that he was about to be chased down after going for a stroll in D50.. what the f was he thinking?

We refuse to use the centre corridor. Only Robey presented there when he went into the middle In the last qtr.
We didnāt use Merrett at all as an effective outlet pass from Half Back.
Defensively we guard grass but donāt know how to hand off players or go to the contest to assist.
Our leading patterns are shot. We run away from the ball carrier trying to find space over the back when one player should turn and come to the ball, another run to space.
And our kicking. Thatās a whole other thing. McGrath is possibly the worst kick in the league.

Dude Iām praying harder that in 5 years time every team in the AFL hates us because weāre dominating and the AFL are trying every trick in the book to bring success to their shiny new toy the Tassie Devils (and failing miserably)!!

itās been like this for ever and a day
nothing is changing
all i can say is, itās lucky for the club that there are enough delsional sycophants that will happily be proud of where they are at, and will continue to throw money at the club to validate their āworthinessā as a supporters.
cos if they had to validate why people should hand over their money, they wouldnāt be able to find one single reason as to why they should.
but hey, lets be proud of this, itās the essendon way. who cares if we finish bottom, just always gotta be proud of what the club says or does, itās the essendon way.
