Dylan Shiel learned a hard lesson about what we expect as a team with a brutal dropping to the VFL, where he- Oh no, he was sub, and played the second half. And is now right back in the team.
We're short on cattle, yeah, but let's not pretend that we're teaching harsh lessons here. This club is absolutely ******* rudderless, and has been treading water for two decades. It's embarrassing, it's making life-long Essendon fans turn the games off or just not show up, and people aren't renewing memberships. We have yes men in charge who's only goal is turnover, and flogging yet another $350 captains dinner, or a $200 book, or a limited run of hyper-expensive merchandise to keep club coffers in check.
We're a football club, not a ******* ASX conglomerate. I realise this section is meant to discuss the changes, but I'm genuinely so tired of this club that I'm finding it hard to give a s**t.
Bryan and Hind are in, Baldwin is dropped even though he's been given the world's shittest delivery inside F50, and Nik Cox has busted his ankle up again. Jake Stringer was brought back from a hamstring too early, then pinged the other one. Someone needs to have a good look at the fitness staff here, and then ask some serious questions. Here's a good one to start with - "What the *?"
Hawthorne, a supposed bottom 4 side, are resting players against us. Hahahaha
