The last few months have seen a lot of changes at Essendon, including a new president (Brasher), new board member (Sheedy), new GM Football (Mahoney), new senior coach (Rutten), Gia joined the coaching panel, whilst we've lost Tanner, Richardson, Worsfold, Harvey, Kelly, and our Chief Commercial and Marketing guy is also gone.
The playing group has had a fair bit of turnover as well, with Bellchambers, Daniher, Saad, Fantasia, McKenna, McKernan, Townsend, Gown, Hibberd, Mutch, Begley, Crauford all gone, and the addition of Wright, Hind, Caldwell, Cox, Perkins, Reid, Eyre and Brand (so far).
Meanwhile we're coming off a pretty awful 2020 season, on and off field, which saw most of the season played outside of Melbourne with no or low crowd numbers, Dreamtime in Darwin, the ANZAC game in July, players stuck in hubs, getting on each others nerves, losing heaps of games, and seemingly that has led to a fractured the playing group... on the other hand, we seem to finally be on top of our injury woes? Maybe? *knock on wood*
So my question is, how are you feeling about Essendon in the upcoming season? Optimistic or pessimistic? Why?
Thoughts, feelings, memes, songs, rants, analogies...
