i call it as it is...truth just hurts for some...all I've read all pre-season is how this team isn't cooked. Great young players under 23 coming through blah blah blah...the fact Kade Stewart and Teie Miles weren't selected is disgraceful. They select Taylor duryea, billy Hartung and will Langford instead....
Stewart
Miles
Hardwick
Lovell
Brand

All need to play 10+ games this season.

Won't complain about that. Miles, maybe but Stewart more than earned the right to be selected.

I love Clarko with all my heart and trust his selections but the axe needs to swing. This clearly isn't going to be a premiership year to time to reward form not reputation

Anyone else blocking Essendon supporter friends numbers right now?

Six decades of domination
I don't like our game plan/they way were structure up. I don't like the way we use the ball into our f50. I don't like how we get opened up consistently by lateral movement, yet can't do it ourselves. I don't like how s**t our rucking is.
That has nothing to do with heart.

We got out ran by a team who should theoretically have a significantly worse fitness base. That's just unacceptable.

Every loose ball they outnumbered us. Every contest they swarmed and spread. Every turnover they split us up. Their work rate and desire to win was certainly much better than ours.
