We are, but also we have a much better list, so that should override the difference in coaching

Essendon's list is very overrated. Their midfield lacks depth, they have basically no forward line outside of some kids, their defenders are overpaid and crap, and a lot of their early picks haven't come on

Merrett is a star, they've got a few other handy players like Caldwell and Martin, then it falls away quite a bit. A lot of their bigger names (Jade Gresham, Ben McKay, Andrew McGrath, Dylan Shiel, Sam Draper) have become absolute plodders at the Dons
