I’m now convinced the way we play makes us fans believe we are very close to being a finals team just need a few players here and there, maybe need to tweak the coaching group and we are ready to explore.
Well its time to accept we are delusional and have been sold a dud. We play free flowing footy that when the pressure is light on early in a game we can look good but when the opposition go up a gear we can’t go with them. That’s when the opposition usually pile on a run of goals that we can’t stop. We have bugger all depth and as a result the minute we get more then a few injuries we are forced to play way too many that a reserve grade footballers at best.
We are 6 years into a rebuild and imo it’s time to say the list build as a whole is a failure.
No depth in the ruck we have a reserve grade ruckman and a young promising kid as a back up. Nothing else after that. Stupid list development again.
The midfield is 3 players at least away from competing with the best teams. Min 3 yet again in the off season we do nothing to rectify it.
The defence gets burnt every fking week from the same sort of smart quick forwards yet we trade in more running loose flankers which we are now over stocked in. Again just dumb.
The forwards line has Harry and maybe Charlie then either kids or seniors filling the voids.
And the safest part is apart from Cunningham, fisher and Charlie who are we missing that will really make a difference? Enough with the excuses. Sick of teams below us overtaking us year after year after year. Essendon have lost a ton of players and still get big scalps.
And I won’t even bother discussing the rabble of a coaching group. So many of the same old duds we have had for the last decade.
Been a member for a long time but i definitely won’t be extended the run.
Sorry if I sound negative but enough is enough with all the positive spin BS. Time to call it as it is
