On the performances dished up of late, tanking isn't going to even need to be discussed, we're already deplorable enough as it is.

Ha.
Tanking by default.

Bingo! We just need to turn up each week and the good picks will be coming our way!

I wish it wasn't true, The thought of getting pounded each week does not sit at all well with me. I'd much rather us be a better team that was in each game most weeks, and have us finish even marginally better on the ladder, than to have to endure the horrible feeling in my guts every weekend, that comes with watching us on the park at present.
I dread the coming of each weekend at present. And looking at our draw the next few weeks, it's not going to get any rosier.

We're a poor football team. They are the team's that get the early draft picks. Tanking isn't in the discussion. We're just bad.
We need to find some quality support for Griff. He's getting killed because there is nobody else in the middle that is particularly worth worrying about as a damaging player.

McCartney needed to put Dahlhaus in the middle or just try something different.

Maybe we need to start thinking whether we have the right coaching staff

The offseason review will be interesting. I'm worried about the level of complexity in our planning.

I think it's a list problem more than anything else

I Blame Scott Clayton. For someone with such a great reputation he has failed comprehensively at building our list.

We've stuffed up too many early picks and we're paying the price

Well first thing's first. We looked very slow. So coaching is not going to help with that.
I didn't like how we didn't go man up until the horse had truly bolted.
The midfield group just can't damage by foot. Just don't have the skills.
Can't see how the coach can be blamed for these things.

In terms of coaching gaffes, we were always going to be overrun in our own forward line. A slow, lumbering backline. Why wasn't Vezpremi in the side?

If a review highlights this being even remotely the case, then the powers that put hired the coaching teame should be shown the door.

Just have a look at the number of front runners picked up.

Just got back from the game.

Another non-competitive performance. We are going nowhere in a hurry. We didn't even look like it at any stage tonight.

I thought, well at least we are playing lots of young players ..... so are the Bombers!

Average Attributes
Essendon Attribute Western Bulldogs
188.0cm Height 187.5cm
87.2kg Weight 87.8kg
24yr 9mth Age 24yr 10mth
76.7 Games 84.0

Total Players By Games
Essendon Games Western Bulldogs
10 Less than 50 10
6 50 to 99 3
3 100 to 149 3
3 150 or more 6

So we are older. We have the same players who have played under 50 games. Players under 100 games was Bombers 16 Vs our 13.

Where are we going? I hope someone knows.
