To be fair, I donât think heâs played well in dry weather this season.

No.
Not sure Scott will give us much at the presser.
Think in the Wet Setterfield was a no brain selection, but he is floundering as an emergency.
And probably Goldstein as the better tap ruckman.
Pick those twoâŚmaybe laverde over Redman and we might have found the right cattle.
Still think though Melbourne have such a lot of class
The 8âs no guarantee
Why does it seem like every time an undermanned opposition coach comes up with some slight tactic changes when we should have an advantage it always works?
Itâs like we constantly get blindsided and have no response. Stubborn coaching by Brad but feels like itâs been a constant theme for 20 years.
I have zero faith we would win a final even with two chances, we just canât handle the pressure when things donât go out way.

Yes and no, I think you have us on the high side of average
Still donât think we are a finals contender yet. If we donât make the finals nothing will happen, players wonât get moved on.
We still lack power from inside the walls of Essendon football club by making tough decisions.
We have improved with recruiting players from last year but was always going to take a season for them to gel, most have settled in nicely though.
Redman trade
Guelfi trade
Wright trade
Make some tough calls and get something decent in return.
So would have Setterfield

I was gonna post at half time the difference between both teams on how they played the conditions was laid before us
Second quarter
Pickett I think half volleyed a ball in dispute forward just for field position. I think it was the one that Melksham dished off from his knees for yet another fkn Dees goal from nothing
Literally 5 mins later Martin tries to take possession under pressure when he couldâve toed it forward to gain some territory
Got tackled ball up
Thatâs where our coaches should be earning their $$ and have to adjust on the fly
Until we can do that - yeah 5-8tj on the ladder is where we are at

agreed - although we might get back in briefly (to flirt for the umteenth time) in 2 or 3 weeks from now, but that will be it and a slide way down to 6th or below will happen. Take poor form into the first week of the finals and get flogged. Sound familiar?

He didnât help, he was woeful
As our most experienced player, he should be standing up under pressure. Not wilting and killing the team
The were other terrible players, who will rightfully cop it in their threads

Add Merrett
The selections tonight concern me about the wisdom and nepotism of our coaches
Who cares, weâre â â â â â â â pretenders
Not tough enough. Played stupid football, over possession in the wet. The following players again fail when the heat is on:
Heppell
Stringer
Wright
Guelfi
Perkins
McGrath
Gresham
Redman
Iâm tempted to put Langford in there but 2 goals and 15 disposals in the wet isnât too bad. Thatâs one that if you want to be taken seriously you win. We still get opened up way too easily out the back.

Yep. He doesnât tap to our players. He just taps, or bashes.

Iâm certainly not suggesting drop them or even they are playing poorly. They are still cracking in.
But Merrett has class beyond both of them at the moment. I think theyâll both catch up and weâll be less reliant on Zach to be the midfield hurt factor, but just at the moment, not quite there.
