General Bombers Talk Percentage Watch

[Squeaky]

yep - Worsfold and Rutten at least gave us one season of false hope each, Brad hasnt even managed that!

That's a win in my book.
Determine how shit we are, develop a plan, stick to the ****ing thing. No short cut sugar hits!

What was our percentage under Knights jmoo wan ?

14th, 8th, 14th

 

[DERO]

It's a grim stat.

 

[boncer34]

It's a grim stat.

Yeah thought it deserved its own thread to really highlight it.

What was our percentage under Knights jmoo wan ?

agreed , it’s an important discussion that needs to be had

 

[DapperDon]

It's like we never really built a list with a game plan in place. Just picked a bunch of mid sized players with no real position and then put them on the ground and told them to get the ball and see what happens.

20 years trying the same thing and wondering why we keep failing.

 

[Vindicater]

Now 16th for percentage

 

[boncer34]

Now 16th for percentage

15th?

 

[Beerfish]

I'm outraged regardless

 

[Doss]

Sometimes we all have to engage our inner pissant and really focus on granular details like these.

Can’t believe we haven’t had a thread for this before.

Cheers to the reigning Poster of the Year!

I’ve seen us have poor percentage because we were too attack heavy and leaked like a sieve, and because we were too defensive and without intent to score.

At the moment I suspect it’s somehow both?

I believe the phrase is “not good enough”

 

[div12ressie]

lets say we do bottom out for the next couple years, get a lot of high draft picks etc... and then what? when has brad scott demonstrated he's a good game day coach? when plan A fails he doesnt adapt at all

 

[boncer34]

[div12ressie]

what made us competitive in 2011/2013?

 

[Westlo]

what made us competitive in 2011/2013?

Decent drafts in the 5-6 years prior who in 2011 were under the tutelage of the best development coach in the afl in McCartney?

seems we are going nowhere under Brad

I’ve hird what that might open us up to.

 

[Agronomus]

What I will say is, one reason I felt quite good with where we were going in 2021 was our good percentage (109.1; our best since 2003, which is an absolute indictment but still).

Lots of narrow losses, mostly to sides above us, and lots of comfortable wins against sides below.

We’re the exact inverse of that now.

No Parish no Essendon?

 

[DapperDon]

So Rutten was going ok before the knives came out from our ******* coteries?

 

[Westlo]

So Rutten was going ok before the knives came out from our ******* coteries?

Can’t forget that ****er dodoro

Also left him with no small forwards when they were quickly becoming one of the most important spots
