Until we extend season or play in divisions the FIXture will always be a problem. What is difficult to comprehend is why EFC is so often in the 'unexpectedly more difficult' pile. Very rare that we get the easy draw ratings. Don't think it will matter much. Season 2025 is likely to be a...

spud. trade him now and try to rebuild. Perkins is a solid vfl flanker at best. so slow, so poor. Just another Essington special.

We are further away from the top teams than ever. All those calling for patience without identifying that we have gone backwards. Where is the core youth coming through? Where is the DNA/blueprint of a successgul game plan? We are not moving forward. It is a mess.

Glad we got Menzie running around and got rid of that spud AA winger in Massimo. Far out..

If this is how we play when our 'life depends on it' then.. wow.. no forward craft, no small forwards, no small forward pressure.. poor conversion kicking for goal.. poor defensive structure, poor defenders, poor foot skills. Struggling to think of one thing this team does well. We do not...

Dare say that AFL won't be this stupid to give us Friday nights again. Sucked in. At least I can take comfort in knowing we farked the AFL viewership numbers. Swans with a 7 goal lead at a canter.. honestly not even working hard at this point. Our entire list, coaching, game plan, skills...

Anyone know why Weid is playing? Did Scott not realise he was a spud last year? So this is the best our club can produce?

This club is as stuff as it has ever been. 20 years of uncompetitive football. Just hard to watch.

We are the only team that can fluff a chance 3 on 1 in the goal square.. we make this game look so difficult.

The amount of 1 on 1 contests we lose is just unbelievable. Majority of our list is just not up to it.

Hopefully the tank is on.. otherwise I got nothing. Getting beat sure.. but the unforced errors are just mind boggling. Stringer.. meant to be a star piece of our forwardline and can't kick from 25m out directly in front? Just insanity.

Sneaky chance for VC next year.. or at least leadership group? Love how he goes about it.. A starting midfield with Merrett, Caldwell, Durham... nice.

Kane Cornes is a troll. The concussion issue is real though.. when you start to see multiple concussions in a season or concussions from relatively 'minor' knocks then it could indicate a problem. Absolutely no reason to have a go at him though.. What is legit to state is that his defending...

It is galling that this man is still allowed anywhere near our club. 20+ years of epic failure at your job.. I just don't get it. The laundry list of high draft picks failing, the inability to produce a balanced list, the chronic inability to find the right type of players and the never...

well done on a great career.. hard not to feel that most of it was wasted due to Saga and such. Never thought he had the right edge to be a captain for success but was a good captain considering the situation he was thrust into. On field he gave his best and watching his early highlights...

The loss isnt 100% on scott but some blame sits with him. Poor selections, poor game plan and no accountability. Hawthorn has zoomed past us. We are officially a basketcase. Not sure scott is the right man for the job.

Langford could be the poster child of the issues I have for Scotts selections. Clearly down on form and confidence, possibly carrying an injury.. but his output has been really below par since June. Not a single person on this forum has claimed he is not a legit footballer... but how is he...

Smashed in a prelim just leads to greatness next season.

Not for anyone to judge.. but I reckon most of us that bother to post regularly on a footy forum have probably planned our lives around the EFC schedule most of the time. That means missed family events, lame excuses and 'potentially' an angry spouse from time to time as we ride the...

Would be ok as a mid range pick, playing a bit role. Unfortunately #1 poor HB just doesn't stack up. Symbolic of the shambles

Small forwards MUST be elite at either: speed/manic defensive pressure OR smart goal sense Menzie does neither.. is actually poor defensively and fumbles most opportunities. Just have no idea why he is getting picked.

The fact Menzie is getting a game pretty much sums up the issues. No contest, no work ethic, poor decision maker. No elite traits. Just a nothing player in a nothing forwardline.

Got lambasted but I've never seen the Draper thing.. like just never seen anything other than a flashy mullet that often makes dumb mistakes, can't kick, struggles to impact games, has poor fitness.. and did I mention the dumb dumb footballing decisions? I mean he played against no rucks last...

Hird isn't an option but suggestions he was a 'shit coach' with an elite list are laughable. Hird turned a turd list into a competitive list.. last time we actually developed a 'core' group that could win games. Hird took over the club because we were a basket case after the Knights era (NLM...

Nothing you can add that we don't already know. The season, playing group and possibly club are beyond ****ed. I rashly posted at the halfway mark that this season was an improvement on last, almost on queue we haven't fired a shot since. It is almost an exact replication of last season and...

This club has such a deep rooted cultural issue, Im not sure we ever recover. Very disappointing result and yet another late season fade out. Gut check required.

Hasnt recaptured last years form and I still believe its because they are playing Martin in his role. The Martin move has not been a positive overall. A 4 goal effort shows Martin should play further up the ground.

As soon as its raining, we all knew it was a loss. As soon as 2nd place was up for grabs, you knew it would be a stinker. Perkins and wright still crap. Heppell is the slowest player in the league and selection is baffling. Draper stats looked ok but he went missing and was ineffectual...

Poor selections for conditions. Poor game plan in wet. Very disappointing. Only hope it gets dry in 2nd half.

Perkins has to be dropped. Has been poor for over a month and shouldn't be an auto selection. I'd bring in Goldy so that Draper isn't solo against Gawn. If you can limit Gawns influence then Demons struggle. Going to be a great game and I think we should win this. We are more than...
