Round 14 discussion

Hopefully this knocks some sense into those thinking that bringing in rookie coaches that are ex players is the only way forward. Embarrassing stuff from Essendon. Injuries can no longer be an excuse.

Re: Round 14 discussion

Actually loving it , 40,000 Essendon suppporters disappeared off the face of the earth in 3 weeks.
Quite obvious who is coaching they interview Thompson every half time break and every time they show Hird he is sitting there not doing a thing.

You actually go through there list, especially in the midfield & there isn't many A graders amongst them.

Re: Round 14 discussion

Pretty predictable I would have thought. Ran out of gas,got a few wins when not expected with an average list and now getting found out!
Bring Back Knighta
Interesting Hawks have had a mini clean out replaced the Likes of Young,Ellis and Ladson with the likes of Poppy, Shiels,Savage Lisle probably another couple I've missed. Something I hope our club have looked at.

Re: Round 14 discussion

Our timing stinks. Essendon were always going to be up and about early in the season and they have unsuprisingly hit a brick wall.

Some credit should go to their opponents last night, who have been crippled by key injures but still ragdolled a mid-table opponent.

Re: Round 14 discussion

The demise of the Bombers, combined with the away form of the Purple and White marshmellows, has really opened up the race for the finals. It promises to be as open as it has been for many seasons.

You have to be in it to win it, who knows with our side getting the job done in the back 1/2 of the season we could be a real boggy side come September

Next week will be a big test for us ... the last two wins have given us some much need confidence, if this form improvement continues and we knock off Melbourne (who themselves have had two good wins in the past two weeks) then the world is our oyster.

As I posted before, our last three Prelims, we have lost the first match putting us back in the pack. This year finishing 5th/6th/7th/8th will be no difference for us ... as you say, you gotta be in it to win it.

Watching a bit of that game tonight I soon appreciated how far off the pace we are

I've enjoyed the last two wins, and Im hoping we can knock over the dees, but our game style, defensive work has so much room for improvement
