Re: The Petition.. we will be heard..
Firstly, I think people are asking for his head because of the way the team have played under him this season. The players appear to have gone backwards.
To reiterate my point, I don't think the majority of supporters have unrealistic expectations...
Re: The Petition.. we will be heard..
Do you really think so, OT?
Most EFC people online seemed to place us at 7th or 8th at the beginning of the year. That's what they expected (a small amount of improvement on last year).
Re: The Petition.. we will be heard..
Nice post.
Avoids the point though. It's not that we're expecting immediate success, it's the way we're playing. Fans want to see Essendon playing with heart. That's all we're asking for.
I feel the same. Of course I care, but I'm beyond angry. In games like these, normally I'd swear and walk off only to walk back 10 seconds later, but I'd never lose faith that we could come back and win, and I'd never sit there quietly shaking my head at how s**t we are, only to start...
He does look leaner. Hard to argue that it wouldn't have happened at AFL level though, given that only this year has he finally gotten over his ankle problems.
Having said that he shouldn't have been dropped, don't take that to mean that he shouldn't have been dropped if he was not performing...

Hey HFF,
Who were the better players for Bendigo? Cheers.
Re: Are we ready to sack Knights?
Yep. Glad someone put them in a list like that. There's no accountability (visibly) from Knights for those performances. He doesn't come out and apologise and tell us how he's going to fix it. These games have to stop or we need someone else.
Re: Are we ready to sack Knights?
How about the defensive pressure from the forward line and particularly the midfield. Was that good? You call that commitment?
Re: Matthew Knights; A question on a game
Yes.
It would depend on how we play in our final. Knights' plan was to win a final in his third year.
If we somehow got there, and lost badly (like last year v Adelaide), it'd be a judgement call for sure. It's time to make shocking...
Re: Matthew Knights; A question on a game
End of the season:
-If we don't make finals, replace the coach
-If we make finals but don't win a game - make a judgement call
-If we do win a final, he stays without question.
Re: Team Rnd 15 vs Melbourne
This is a tricky team. I can't rate it until I see where those players are played. Dempsey on a wing would be great, Welsh out of the mid to allow for new rotations would be great.
On paper, in those spots, it's an improvement, although not 100%. The spots rarely...
The point about getting experience into our younger players I agree with. I've read a few suggestions on the Essendon board lately calling for Gumby or Hurley or Zaka or Melksham to be rested. They need to be played continuously so long as they're fit and able. The more games into them, the...
