I'd go a step further than that, and theorise that his forward craft has gotten worse since his first season or two, because he's discovered that continually calling for the ball over the back, and looking to body up on a defender and get a free kick, rather than providing a lead, or crashing a pack is a much easier way to get goals ... work smarter, not harder.

Very possible, his method of scoring changed big time from the start till now.
 
Conspiracy theory, AFL is loving Chrisso suspending blokes and then them going to the tribunal. More controversy more anger and more air time.
Actually makes sense seeing how they got rid of penalties for failed appeals, means that more players are willing to challenge

Hilarious the people who jumped on the bombers. They won't win s**t with that game style. They are playing our game style with faster players

Game style and list both deficient. I predicted them as maybe scraping into the eight but just as likely missing. And their game style will see them thumped in a final so it doesn’t really matter much either way.

Yeah, Shiel was never going to fix their midfield issues, where Essendon consistently plays soft footy we play dumb footy, I'm not sure what's more frustrating

We're definitely more frustrating. Essendon being crap is actually quite enjoyable.
 
David Kings won’t let go of hyping up the bombers. I wonder when he’ll just give it up. They need a Clarry type. And we need a Shiel but with better kicking skills
Eh David king has been on our bandwagon for the last two years. Obviously can't pick a good bandwagon, but he seems big on hyping the outside chances
 
Gaz not happy with being labelled a sniper says Chris Scott..

Sounds about right, put himself under enormous pressure playing for such money. Don't care what anyone says, young players shouldn't be on such large coin, especially in this day and age when it can effect you mentally

I respect the guy. Made a boat load of money, won a GF and played a big role in it

I know it’s hard to appreciate money and s**t when you have the black dog, but I reckon it was a good little career

Good to see the 6-6-6 had fixed the game

It's got nothing to do with the 6 6 6. Coaches for 150 years taught attack, now all they coach is defence.

There's only 1 solution and that's to take numbers off the field so it's harder to attack.
