Start of season is still months away, the Hawks have a while to prepare and adapt. Mitchell is now a non-factor in their 2019
Yes and it will have a massive effect on their fortunes.

I disagree with you for the reasons I've mentioned. No point for us to keep going around in circles.
 
Horrible results? You realise Melbourne finished 4th right? The Dees only lost 4 games for the season by more than 10 points & now that the playing list has so many players in the 50-100 game mark you'd expect the Dees to start gaining the experience to turn the close losses into wins like the Hawks more often that not do. Yes we got belted in those 4 games but I'm pretty sure the Prelim was the only game we were belted in after RD 12. Essendon had a few horrible results along the way as well last season.
Picking an inexperienced side who hadn't made the finals for 12 years to win the premiership is a ridiculous prediction & after exceeding most peoples expectations you expect them to fall apart?

The ladder says Melbourne finished 5th.

After the home and away season we finished 5th but overall we finished 4th, hence why Adelaide got pick 16 from us (Lever trade) and Port Adelaide got 15 from Hawthorn (Wingard trade) despite Hawthorn finishing 4th in the H&A season.
 
"Tom Mitchell’s possible season-ending leg injury could be the difference between Hawthorn making the finals or not, says Jason Dunstall."

“So you take that out of the mix and they’re going to have all sorts of problems in the midfield, no doubt.

“There’s certainly no one on their list who's going to go close to replacing Tom and the role that he plays.

Dunstall stating the obvious.

The Essendon ten year challenge
2009 Hadn't won a final in 5 years
2019 Hadn't won a final in 15 years.

Would have won a final last year if we didn’t botch the start of the season the team was riding a wave of momentum in the last 10 or so rounds.

If we can’t win a final or two this this year then serious questions need to be asked because we have the talent no more excuses.

lol. Laughable comment
 
Why is it laughable? Essendon along with the Tigers and Pies were the only form teams of the comp leading up to finals.
If that was the case then why did you lose to Hawthorn to end your finals hopes?

Claiming you would have won a final if only had you made the finals is a stupid comment

Essendon beat just as many top teams as the Tigers did during that stretch.

Because you're basically saying "If you ignore when we were s**t we were good".
 
So we should ignore all the positive things we did then

You're flying all over the place here.

The comment was "We would have won a final if we didn't botch the start of the season", that has nothing to do with ignoring the second half of the season.

I may as well say "Melbourne would have won the flag if we didn't get smashed by West Coast and then beat Collingwood the week after."
