Autopsy AFL 2023 Round 23 - GWS v Bombers Sat Aug 19th 4:35pm EST (GS)

[Rod Stroker]

Second worst loss by any team this year after Eagles lost to the Swans by 171.

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

Do any Essendon players have trade currency?

Are there any who are wanting a trade?

Apart from Merrett, who is going nowhere, Wright, Draper and ???

Parish the only one right now

The question needs to be asked to the playing group in their exit interviews "are you willing to work your backsides off and sacrifce things that wins premierships or you are just happy to play footy and get paid because if that's you,you can find another club don't want you here"

Can’t imagine Parish would be a huge loss.

you Reckon something has to give? Much the same side plays much the same game won’t cut it.

Every year the media gets all excited over Essendon. No idea why.

Agree about Parish but yep i think something has to give today is unexpetbale should be a line in the sand moment

Which media?

Everyone had us finishing bottom four all pre season not one tipped us to push for finals

It's content generation. They don't care what happens, just that people look at their content.
Like running a story on Collingwood will boost interest.

Hey there Bombers……. Just looking for a favour.
Could you please play like this again next week?
Thanking you.

The starting point is telling the truth.
The club is totally compromised in living the lie.
Everything else is a waste of time until the club accepts and acts on this reality …

Agree, the Bombers should be an honest team by now and Scott’s appointment was all about the club moving forward and finding those willing to sacrifice. As I watched todays game I thought ……… where is this club at.
Maybe there’s shades of the Tigers in 16, I’m not sure but this group has checked out for 2023.

“Big 4 club”. Same as them being excited about Carlton every year. At least now after 20 years they can be excited about one of them.

Desperate to sell papers. Collingwood, Carlton, Essendon in the finals is Vic media utopia.

Bon called it when he got the job that they were a fair way off it and I think as others have said they have over achieved off the back of a soft draw. Come back in 12 months.

He’s average - a pic in the 20’s would get that done.

Anyone else remember when Dylan Shiel came out publicly and said Essendon has a better list then Carlton

Dodged a bullet didn’t we.

 

[demondavey]

Really hope the Giants make the finals, they are great to watch, and could do some damage with their best out there

Have to beat Carlton and I think it’s one of those wait and see scenarios with the WB

Is there something wrong with Draper? Been talked up as a future superstar for a long time now.

He plays for *

It’s all been looking a bit comfortable hasn’t it.

This loss to WCE could well be a catalyst - either for change & growth or a decision to stay the course & flounder.
