Let’s remember they have a new coach. So it often goes the way of the new coach implementing a 2-3 year plan to build success. As the poster mentioned they now have 18s so will they look to build from within and develop? Could this be a strategy maybe? Can't happen overnight and does often depend on the budget a club has to spend as to the coach going after players. Or some clubs leave it to football managers to manage.Not far off there.
Started well then fell away, looked very rusty at times but nothing that isn’t fixable. Boys have been working hard this pre season and no doubt will be back at again this week working on the negatives from Saturday.
The positive was the club had 18’s up and running for the first time in over 5+ years.
Always tough to recruit to clubs in the “outer” regions as such with the traffic etc, as you often need to offer overs, and can Roxy afford to go down that path? Plus it’s B grade footy. Craigieburn also struggled to recruit when in premier and now.
All this traffic congestion over recent years doesn’t help clubs outside the Essendon metro area!! Why sit in traffic for an extra hour!!
