Roast Essendon in no mans land

[Taper]

Not contending and not rebuilding, it's been this way for a long time at Essendon.
They were last rebuilding when Knights was coach and last contending when Sheedy was coach.

How do Essendon get themselves out of this perpetual cycle of mediocrity?

Ahh but Scott says it's an 8 year plan.

 

[Cringle]

That draft where they picked up Cox, Reid and Perkins with consecutive first rounders could’ve really set them up.

But Dorodo is a fraud.

oh bloody lol, how triggering must that be for the Bombers?!

disappointing, pretty much 1.5 Quarters of effort, and then gave it up

AFL prime time Friday night too, costly for broadcasters and their brand

Port the only winners tonight!

 

[Kobe Gryant]

Bring back Hirdy, it's what we all want to see

But Dorodo is a fraud.

The draft that was effected by covid and lock down worst possible time to get 3 top 10 picks.

Clubs had to look at footage from 2 years prior when they were eligible to make a decision on who they pick

 

[Atomboy]

Typical.

The Saints claim No Man’s Land as our own and they go and give it to one of the smaller, less successful clubs.

 

[Osho]

Dead as a Dorodo.

 

[dazzledavey36]

The hard edge hey..

 

[The Edukator]

What's this Essendon edge they keep talking about

Bring back Sheedy, Hird and Lloyd.
Concentrate on winning the draft.

And yet all the clubs who came after Essendon had no problems.

"worst possible time to get 3 top 10 picks" is one of the saddest justifications for underperformance a team could ever make.

Has Terry Wallace 5 year plan at Richmond vibes.

 

[Vindicater]

Brad was brought in to change the culture.

Going to take all of those 8 years to do it.

 

[HairyO]

7 years for the wrong McKay - who is only good on average or worse forwards.

Can Brad march Kevin Sheedy out the door … permanently?

There’s your starting point and you’re wasting your time with anything else until this happens …

The is the hope. Along with Dodo.

The is the hope. Along with Dodo.

The coteries have their back.
It’s a monumental task.
Good luck …
