I rate Essendon's list but the reaction to the game was bizarre. 'Oh well, we were beaten by the best, good year overall'.
1. Sydney, while good, came 6th
2. Essendon played some of the most atrocious football I've ever seen in that game. Looked scared and displayed horrible skills.
3. The margin reflects a 1 quarter destruction where the game was already over. Had Sydney been playing for percentage, it likely would have been 100+.
4. Essendon had a soft draw and probably the best run of injuries of any team - making the finals was not that impressive.
Point is, the team is in serious danger not only of a club that accepts mediocrity - which my club does now too - but a suppprter base. I can understand the fans rightly stating that the sky is not fallling, but should at least be able to identify that the effort in that final was pure shit.
