Essendon = Entitlement

Adrian Dodoro is the finest football administrator in the history of the game.

We need a petition for Esserdon to retain him.

I'm down, mothersmilers.

He’s the puppet master. The coaches keep falling and the Dodo is still there amongst the chaos.

I guess the positive for 18 year old Essendon fans who are yet to see a finals win they can legally hit the bottle.

Since they sacked Knight‘s in either 2010 or 2011, it’s been an absolute disgrace how they have treated their coaches - I would add Hird and Sheedy into the toxic bowl of destroyers eating themselves from the inside.
7 coaches since Knights
Only had 27 coaches in there history till they got rid of Sheedy.Screenshot_20230824_090545_Samsung Internet.jpg

That’s why sheedy needs a bigger input into the club and hirdy needs to come back

an interesting read is the Bombers season
9 wins looks good , new coach , far from the perfect list

from July 15 onwards , oh dear , what a train wreck

6 games
narrow wins against Eagles 1pt and Norf 9 pts

pants down thrashings against Gee , WB & GWS

and a 2 pt loss against Swans

you could call it one respectable game out of 6

it doesn't seem to be driven by injuries

did opposition clubs work them out or has Scott lost the players or did they just get lucky with the draw ( Hawks & Suns rounds 1 & 2 got them off to a flyer but the internal excitement faded and a moderate list was exposed ) ???

they seem to have a lot of young players on their list who haven't debuted ? around 13 and their VFL has finished 17th winning 5 games for the year
the last game was a win V Coburg (winless ) , they may have a couple of developing gems but you wouldn't think that's a side bursting with AFL destined talent

on paper they don't look like they are going to charge into 2024 as a serious finals contender

what they do with regards trading and the national draft will be interesting , do they top up or clear the decks and go all in with the draft ?

in Dodo we trust

I don’t think Blobo and his mates will follow that script. ;)

Nothing like a good preseason to clear the memory banks and they can start again.
 
Blobbo gave the Dons a chance against the Pies this week, said they would provide a stern test as they would respond to last weeks performance!

WTF? I expect at least a 8 goal drubbing
