Supporters are now indifferent. Not angry, nor frustrated anymore, they just don’t care anymore.
If Essendon was a racehorse, the humane thing would be to put it down.
No more shortcuts please, turn the entire club upside down. Even take a year or two off if required. Get in an indigenous witch doctor, just do something different.
I haven’t watched the past few weeks, and am actively looking for other sports to follow and encouraging my sons to do the same. The club is done, cooked, finished.
Even Carlton’s lack of success is getting old now. We simply need to flip the club upside down and literally do the opposite of what we think is the right thing to do.
I’m old and have experienced success, I just hope the kids that support this club will eventually feel some joy, or at the very least not feel embarrassed to support this club.
I don’t look at this thread very often because it’s too depressing, but I’m watching Gold Coast demolish Brisbane after beating Collingwood last week and I can’t help thinking how different things would have been if our fuckwitted Board of Directors had appointed Damien Hardwick as the coach to follow Kevin Sheedy instead of Peter Knights.
True. But they beat Collingwood the week before and this week they’ve beaten the reigning premiers. I’d say they’re tracking like a club on a definite upward path.
yes but to be fair, hardwick has come in at the perfect time with all the work done by previous coaches to get all the early draft picks enough games under there belt, its a good example of how long a rebuild can take through the draft and it aint pretty
It’s always possible to say that. The fact is that good coaches take what they find, sift out and develop the best of it, add to it, and create a top team.
I don’t see any evidence of that happening at Essendon right now. Or for the last 20 years.
