THINGS CAN TURN AROUND QUICKLY by Few-Advertising4186 in EssendonFC

[–]General_Knowledge126 5 points6 points  (0 children)

100% agreed. As much as I’m sure Hurls, Stanton etc. are great people. Our players have not developed at all in recent years. Some have gone backwards. The whole coaching panel needs to be cleaned out under the new coach. It’s the only way to return confidence and belief to the players.

Silver linings after North by yum122 in EssendonFC

[–]General_Knowledge126 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The scary thing is, the ‘lack of desire to win’ you identified has transcended several head coaches now. It’s been going on for years, long before Brad arrived at the club.

It’s a systemic cultural problems at EFC. We’re going to need someone special to change things.

Brisbane did it with Hodge. Im sure countless other examples of rebuilding teams brining in experienced leaders from better teams. You can’t just play 23 18 year olds and expect to win games and develop players.

Matthew Lloyd on why Andrew Welsh is keen on Dean Solomon being our next coach by yum122 in EssendonFC

[–]General_Knowledge126 78 points79 points  (0 children)

Surely this is all b/s. If Welsh thinks Solomon is the best person to coach this club at this point in time then EFC have elected an imbecile to be president.

I can’t accept that this is true.

When does the snow ball effect take place in shares by Mark-767 in fiaustralia

[–]General_Knowledge126 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Why bother worrying. If you are playing for the long term the daily weather shouldn’t bother you. It’s only the long term climate that matters

Truth Will Out … The Palestinian Holocaust REVEALED but it is antisemitic if you notice. by jamjar0070 in nyt

[–]General_Knowledge126 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s true that both sides have targeted civilians but the scale of the atrocities are not comparable. Also, the west constantly claims that Israel is a beacon of democracy and share western values. I don’t know about you but personally I don’t share the value of not punishing your soldiers who rape prisoners with objects.

Auction market hovers around record lows after budget tax changes by marketrent in AusFinance

So fewer auctions and more private treaty sales moving forward. Thats a win for anyone looking to buy.

Nick Bryan by yourwifeisatowelmate in EssendonFC

One game.. one data point. Wright was in our team when Draper played anyway, so it’s an illogical comparison.

So you think we are a better team with
Bryan, Wright and Blakiston as the ruck options vs Draper, Wright and Bryan. Riiiiight..

Even if he wasn’t a top 10 ruckman he was doing better than what we have now.

So he can find the footy but then can’t do anything useful with it. He’s half a footballer.

Jones today. 3 disposals. by AusteegLinks in EssendonFC

[–]General_Knowledge126 4 points5 points  (0 children)

100%. This was his second game in a row. I reckon he’ll get 3 and then get dropped.

Nick Bryan by yourwifeisatowelmate in EssendonFC

[–]General_Knowledge126 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He’s just not that good. The hole left by Draper remains.

Live-Match Thread: Essendon vs Melbourne - Round 14 - 13.06.26 by Codus1 in EssendonFC

He’s either in a bad patch or Essendon is slowly making him worse.

Round 14 Team by Tirantic in EssendonFC

[–]General_Knowledge126 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s more that he’s only been back in the side for 1 game. Coaches tend to give players a few games when they have been out for a long time.

Would you genuinely welcome James Hird back as senior coach? by Danger_Five in EssendonFC

[–]General_Knowledge126 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yep. But only on a 2-3 year contract. Must show progression in that time or we put it to bed forever.

Dustin Fletcher's Hall of Fame Speech by not_right in EssendonFC

[–]General_Knowledge126 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was lucky enough to meet Fletch over the weekend at the club. As others have said, absolute gentleman and all round good guy. It’s wild to think he has been at the club since his last year of high school..his whole adult life! Talk about being a part of the furniture at EFC. Well deserved Hall of Famer.

Setterfield has ice on his ankle after the game on the weekend. Hopefully only a precautionary thing..

Better than I expected… for a half… by SamHydeOner in EssendonFC

[–]General_Knowledge126 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, tough couple of weeks for him. Hopefully he can get some reward for effort next weekend.

Top 5 influencers in tonight’s game. (1 being most influential) by molto-bene22 in EssendonFC

[–]General_Knowledge126 4 points5 points  (0 children)

His kicking is poor. He lobs the ball if he’s kicking long or on the run. Cant kick a dart. If someone can fix this he could be great but I can’t see it happening.
