I find it all a bit conflicting. If he/they (Scott & Vozzo) bought into the Essendon people/media noise that the list was underperforming, why would he/they then come out with the whole 8-year plan/not a short term fix stuff? If they rated the list, why would it then be an 8-year process?
I do think it's two years too late in some ways - at the very least, one year.
The 8 year thing wasn’t a plan it was a window. As in we have 8 years with this group that we rate to get a finals win or more.
Just need to fix at the margains but it’s a contending group.
At some point that changed and Essendon’s PR team is saying we’re going to copy north/hawthorn and do a proper rebuild likely because the rich coteries are pissed that the hawks won a final and were mired in mediocrity (despite their meddling being the reason)
In practice what we are doing is trying to rebuild/rebalance on the fly with the only path available to us.
