Something seriously wrong with the club (Part 2, March 2022)

@Stallion

Smash high flying Carlton twice

That second win was so good, I signed up to Blitz the next day.

@SplitRound

There are even a couple of really highly touted interstate tall forwards we can pin all our hopes on in the draft.

i hate you

[SplitRound]

I want to see someone retire at half time, Vontae Davis style.

[Ghostface]

The issue with Robbo is that he argues from a position of that our list is good and we should be performing well. Essendon supporters are known for overrating the list but many are beginning to see the light that it’s shocking.

The players literally not even trying isn’t an indictment on the coach, Josh Mahoney, or even Xavier, it’s an indictment on the players.

[SplitRound]

Would it make you feel better if I pointed out we might spend a late first round type pick on an indigenous half forward with pace and skills.

In fact, we’ll probably just draft someone called Alwyn Davey.

[Rom]

When does Hepp front the media ? Looks like all the other players get to face the heat but him.

[Donslaught9]

“Just got to back the system”
“Yeah… nah… I think there is scope for us to turn things around”
“We just need to stick to our structures”
“We want to see the same intensity in training on gameday because we’re training well”
“Yeah… nah… Truck has been amazing, he’s a great coach and the boys love him”
“We don’t listen to the external noise”

No thanks.

@Wanderlust

They said players.

Mentioned that the players felt they had done everything asked of them training wise and now they’re questioning the methods given the results.

That makes Rutten a dead man walking.

He’s lost the players.

[child_of_93]

Dunstall yes the rest definitely not

[j_w]

We play teams like Gold Coast, North and even Collingwood in the last 6 weeks. If people don’t think we are winning a few meaningless games at the back of the season to limb to 11th of 12th they are kidding themselves. Perennial no man’s land team.

The players run this club and have for a long time.

are they a CHF?

[SplitRound]

Don’t upset Dodoro’s nice boys, they’ll kick you to the curb.

@SplitRound

Oh you know if we announced a review it’d be headed by Sheedy.

can you please shut up

[Finding_Nino]

Why?

@Wanderlust

Mitch Cleary saying “senior bombers aren’t happy”

And they’re beginning to question their stoppage work and training methods.

This has Knights 2010 written all over.

[RTBC]

‘Senior Bombers’ kind of doesn’t leave a lot of room for anonymity does it. I mean, it could be Andrew Phillips…but, probably unlikely.

[Tagger]

Do they mean senior players, or senior people at the club?

Also those stats are pretty meaningless as we’ve been a bottom six contested ball side for years anyway

[Finding_Nino]

Robbo thinks there will be a review coming soon said senior people at club are concerned with where we are at

Well they should fcking be

[edarotag]

who are the senior bombers not happy? its a given that Smith would be one. Shiel most likely?
Heppell?
Hurley?

I frankly couldnt give a rats tossbag if any of them are unhappy. Do us a favour and leave. The home grown Bombers are historic losers. The GWS inserts at least have a bit of finals success behind them. I still think Shiel can be salvaged.

We at least have a chance of success (which we will likely screw up) by forging ahead without gifting games to "unhappy senior bombers.
