Essendon Coach

[McAlmanac]

good to see that the real Essendon have finally come out to play

I was at the Dome today. It was admirable that Knights stuck with the run-and-gun approach - I wonder how many touch ups it will take for him to revert to something a little more defensive?

the bombers got flogged yes by a well drilled team "Geelong" but i think if they stick to that game iron out a few skill errors and the bombers will hand out a few drumbings themselvs and yes they may get handed a few to but they are young and will learn learn from them.

It is naive of Knights to think he can't tag opposition stars. I also question their fitness.

I also question why Flercher never ever picks up rhe number 1 forward

Again we see a key opposition forward rip Essendon apart, however, Fletcher never gets the job on the #1 forward

This is the reason why I have never rated him as highly as others, because he never picks up a Brown, Pav, Mooney or Fev

[NO-MERCY]

Maybe he's not good enough in the coaching panels eye sydney dog, the same reason why you've never rated him as highly as others!

Not too mention he is getting on. Do you beleive he would stay with Fev on the lead. Without doubt at his peak (2000/01) he was the best fullback in the comp but that was 7-8 years ago. Is he past his use by date??

[McAlmanac]

Fletcher is still a good player and was serviceable against the Cats.

everyone going on about how good a game it was last night, it was OK, but only mainly due to neither team having a good defence, both still bottom 4 IMO...both teams got some very very soft goals

Good, quick, free flowing, high scoring game last night, Essendon regrouped after last weeks shalacking & responded the way a side that won't finish in the bottom 4 should.
There may have been a few soft goals both ways last night but lets face it, you see that every week.

[hearts on fire]

It was a good game too watch last night.

I would much prefer that style rather than watching that Sydney sh1t.

You do if you follow those two sides.

Don't like the look of the next month for Essendon, Lloyd, Jetta, Dempsey, Lonergan, McVeigh & not to forget Lucas for the next 10-12 wks, a very young side that can't afford to lose these experienced players.
Last nights game proved how reliant they are on McVeigh, not only for his footy ability but his leadership, it showed they lost direction in the last qtr after a promising comeback after quarter time.
Another challenge for Matty Knights in his first year, i have no doubt he can handle it.
These youngsters now have to step up & become leaders.

[wobbly knees]

yes as soon as McViegh done his hammy the game turned on its head the bombers dropped the dogs lifted and saw a flood of goals in the last quarter its going to be a hard lesson for the younger players to lift when needed but i think it will come over time but i hope not to long. back to the game last night how exciting was it to watch the lovetts and davey cut up the turf up and down the ground i love the style that they have brought into the game good to watch.

[Dutchy]

exciting yes, win enough games to make the 8....No....

I thought Fletcher and Michael were supposed to be good defenders?

u got no idea dutchy Fletcher finished the game with the most possies "32" on ground and stopped countless goals how much more can the man do geezz and i never been a fan of michael to slow and stupid now days shouldn't have picked him up off the scrap heap wear he put himself when he left Brisbane.

[Dutchy]

No Idea? CHeck out the footy tips and the G.Room

Fletcher might get the possies but your defence is getting spanked every week....bottom 4 team until you can stop the leaks

[hearts on fire]

Mal Michael has done bugger all since coming down from the Brisbane Lions.....

[wobbly knees]

i see davey hurt himself at training yesterday what did he do dose anyone know.
Lets see the dons win on this day of remembrance ANZAC day


lest we forget
