That there is exactly the problem. No objectivity.

about bang on.
I'd add a 5th in a mature CHF.
ruck stocks are too immature
CHB - non-existent
CHF - injury prone kid
small forwards - Snelling (good), Smith (cooked), Wanganeen (raw), Guelfi (not a fwd)
big mids - non-existent. we have HFF playing roles
75%.....

How dare supporters be excited to see a new young player given a chance.
You're an absolute nonce.
There's excited with no expectation. Then there's hype. Then there's EntFC.
the cognitive dissonance flows freely at EssendonSo the list is still full of holes.....but Flogoro apparently has the full support of the club. Seems seriously wrong to me.
regressed back to the mean? They've fallen further than that.This was always going to happen. Essendon overachieved last year and have regressed back to the mean. They are still a few years off being properly competitive.
LOLBeautifully spoken by a supporter of a club with f/all history but a good social club.

Where is the mongrel??
Yeah fair enough but hes not a mongrel . Opposition players aren't scared of him. You need a bit of crazy. Take no prisoners.It's obviously our biggest weakness. Our tackling would be the worst in the AFL or close. Very harsh on Parish there though - he averages more clearances and contested possessions than anyone at the Swans.
no matter where essendon is on the ladder the panel shows will dedicate disproportionate time to them. same as carlton.Footy Classified last night had a big chat about Bombers.
He was just trying to copy Richmond again.When their president comes out and declares he’s confident they win a premiership in 2-3 years, it’s this kind of stupidity that invites the criticism.

Look at your 2000 flag side.

Although I'm loving the bashing they are copping at the moment and they deserve it too mind you, I'm getting sick of it too.no matter where essendon is on the ladder the panel shows will dedicate disproportionate time to them. same as carlton.
personally sick of hearing about bombers
Kingy highlighted Parish on his 30m rushed clearances which often lead to turnovers. Compared them to other mids who are more damaging by kicking the ball further to space, a contest, or an open player - leading to more damaging results.
Parish is where Oliver was a few years ago. Stat accumulator but not even slightly damaging. Oliver has improved a lot and now does damage with the ball.
That is what Parish needs to do. But really, the entire Essendon midfield needs to. And they need to all stop being one way runners.
As much as I rate the opinion of football luminary's such as David King, Parish did finish 9th in the coaches association votes last year. He isn't as good this year but he also has very little support in the midfield (Stringer really papered over the cracks in our small midfield). Our small mids just can't wear contact and release players into space like good extractors can. Darcy's disposal would look better if he had more support. Even Stringer as a part time midfielder helped a lot.
It was reviewing this year, not last year. And yes, Parish needs help. He needs a big body in the middle with him. Yet Dodoro continues to recruit half back flankers.
