Who knows??? Thats King’s point…no one knows what we’re trying to be or how we’re intending to play. We need to make changes and there are certain players who need to lift.

Do we ever have someone running by for an overlap handball out of the back line nah

We chip it around the rucks are always too far away or on wrong side of the fields then turn it over

It’s just what modern football isn’t and that aligns with recruitment

Think the club has and players have said they want to be a team that locks it in the forward half and has repeat entries. We haven’t looked like it except for 1 1/2 qtr against st kilda. That’s what they are aiming for. Unfortunately what they want and are doing are polar opposites.

tbf we were doing that OK for 1.2 quarters against Port.
They then got a few easy entries and goals out of the CBAs and as we all know, went to water after that …

In my opinion, 1 of the problems with Essendon is that they are trying to move the ball with short kicks out of our back line, my guess is to reduce the risk of turn over. I don’t think it works when the team is fatigued and the opposition don’t give you the space as Port didn’t. I believe it just leads to more turnovers that invariably turn into opposition scores. Just my take. But it annoyed the ā– ā– ā– ā–  out of me last year, especially in the second half when we played like this. It worked on occasion, Dreamtime comes to mind. Although overall i don’t like it as a tactic. Brisbane play a little like this and came close to winning it all. So what do i know.

Thats right, we have a way we want to play but the players aren’t executing. We have so many poor decision makers in the side who just don’t use the football well. Draper, Parish, Martin and Redman have to lift this week.

Yea agree with you there. I feel for Martin as I think his performances are less effort but the coaches pulling the wrong strings. Put him on a wing.

See ya Barham your done

Vozzo your done

Both hold each other’s hands out the door and also the rest of the board

Essendon is a boys club

One big Dutch rudder fest

the kindest way to put it is that the off-field leadership at the club is totally and utterly underwhelming.

at best.
