Important to put it into context

You aren’t allowed to celebrate the flag if we win. Sorry mate.

Why start now

 

[Whispering_Jack]

Bring back Hirdy, Caracella, Harvey, plenty of options

In other words, must be a former EFC player??

If, and I do mean if, circumstances have Essendon underperform in 2019, I think Worsfold is one of a number of changes that will need to be made.

For a start, I’d be heavily restricting the influence of the CEO in football department matters, though I’d still short of calling for Xavier to be replaced.

In terms of a replacement, names that immediately come to mind are Ratten and Caracella. Potentially even Rutten.

However, I think it highly unlikely it’ll be required. This is Essendon list is as strong as I’ve seen in twenty years - it really should be pushing hard for top 4 and a crack at the flag.

Agree with you it’s highly unlikely he will get sacked. However, our list on paper is as good as anyone. If we don’t finish in the top 4 it’s on Woosha

EDIT: I basically repeated what you said in the first paragraph. Disregard

Better be hiding some secret gameplan for round 1

 

[Bombermania]

I think Whoosa's pass mark this year us to take this side to the finals and a win in September. A flag would be a big bonus but a top four finish would be considered a success.

 

[Shane Heard]

Just let the man coach. He knows what he’s doing.

It’s up to the players now. Full list of talent across all positions and no excuses.

If we don’t tackle and chase and harass the opposition relentlessly in every game it doesn’t matter who is coaching this group...we will be ####ed.

Cause that’s what makes ordinary to shitty teams be who they are. Lazy.

 

[maskmcgee]

Time to go

 

[Mr_McBoogerBalls]

Something is abhorrently wrong. This list shouldn't be losing like this; especially after last year. Questions need to be asked and that is not unreasonable.

 

[Mr_McBoogerBalls]

Here's my first question:

What was wrong with our gameplan in the second half of 2018?

 

[BrunoV]

Go on, Johnny boy, tell us about the game plan.

Guys get a paid, what, $600k to $1m a year and he's reading what trends in the game?

Honestly, if Begley, Laverde and Redman do not spend every second in training in the middle with Clarke from here in his position is untenable. We have competitive, bull at a gate players. Whether or not they fit his definition of mids, that's what he's left with.

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Jet lag.

 

[Jacques_]

Here's my first question:

What was wrong with our gameplan in the second half of 2018?

Exactly right! Just losing to the best sides and instead of investing on improving playing a brand of footy that suits the list we’ve tried to re-invent the system again over the offseason.

 

[puntingdude22]

We play way too complicated. Our game plan is to hand ball it and run off half back through mckenna and co
What happens when we can't do this? we turn to s**t

let's just play basic football like tigers ,pies etc
get it forward keep it in there score.

 

[Godzke]

4 laps of the tan ... for you too Woosha

 

[JT_the_Man]

Here's my first question:

What was wrong with our gameplan in the second half of 2018?

This.

Idk wtf Woosha thought when he decided to go back to the first half of 2018 rubbish, but we need to change it back right now.

 

[Highly Evolved]

One more game like this and questions have to be asked. I've never been a fan, but we have too many effort questionable games.

 

[JayJ20]

Worsfold you would expect it if you took JLT performance seriously.

 

[windyhill]

I like John, he's a very decent man, loved it when he played, bloody brutal. He'd walk Woosha if things keep going like this and probably wouldn't take the payout, he's that sort of bloke.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

In some ways I hope we have a poor season so we can sack this bloke joke that he got a contract extension.

 

[Mr_McBoogerBalls]

We corrected ourselves last year and I'm sure we can do it again; but I'd much rather we hold form and improve year on year

Stay optimistic, dont join me down here.
