I've been having a think about it and I don't think I can recall a more physically weak performance from an Essendon side than we saw yesterday.
They were monstered by a group of young'uns...and a middle aged Jed Lamb ;D
You have to wonder how they really feel about Goddard given the lack of support he received.
It probably goes deeper than just the physicality...they're a club that looks like it's got a case of the dreaded..."internal strife"
Bit of perspective...Essendon would have the softest mids in the comp...Parish, Merrett, Zaharakis, Heppell.......it was more like the Von Trapps menacing the Brady Bunch.....you take Cripps out of our midfield and we would have come back to the field in a real hurry. Bombers are not the old Sheedy bombers anymore...not much fight or spite.......Goddard didnt bother to fight back vs Lamb at all, he is over it and I expect a media career at the end of season for him.
We won the game but still have plenty of problems, a lot of our players looked good vs feeble opposition IMO.....you look at BomberBlitz and the common theme was weak hearted effort from the EFC....
