Barring player development, I’ll give the coaches a pass on all the other stuff. And in terms of coaches, the current coaching staff can’t help the development that came before.I do love the excuses on these pages.
We have an amazing brand, amazing history, amazing supporter base and previous success.
But injuries, players leaving, drugs saga, list profile are a result of decisions but we talk about it as if it's more about luck.
Essendon pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for ppl to manage these issues.
Player welfare
Injury management
Player development
List management
Governance
Leadership
The club spends millions on staff, consultants and programs that are accountable to these KPIs. Yet quite a few on here talk as if it unlucky or harsh. Accountability is lacking from not only the midfield defensively but the whole club and some of supporter base lack accountability.
The people who are in charge of the other stuff need a broom put through it. And the people that hired them and their predecessors and their predecessors’ predecessors and set up the whole framework they work within needs a broom put through it too.
