#afternoonbriefing “…it’s not a reliable way to run a data centre” prove it!

@SilentGhost263 The stats lie our eyes see the truth. Caldwell has never been a consistent player. Merrett is another whose stats don’t tell the full story.

Jye Caldwell with the most deceptive statline i've ever seen, was probably in our bottom 10 players but topped a bunch of stats and went at a far better efficiency on paper than you'd guess. this applies to most of our mids but Jye in particular.

@Cpcc15 Is that what it’s supposed to be?

What’s the point of a zone defence if you can’t execute it?

@SilentGhost263 Talk is cheap

i encourage people to watch this, Brad flatly lambasts the players (deservedly) and takes ownership himself. none of the soft 'learnings' of before, 'we sucked and gave up'. flat out. Words are only that, has to back it up with action but this is the right attitude to start.

@AnthP_ He’s supposedly the defence coach?

“Not just from our younger guys but the whole group” Solly’s expression when he says that tells you everything #godons

@AFLNow Players aren’t playing for the coach because he’s not inspirational and obviously can’t communicate. He should ring Hardwick and ask him about what he did to win his players trust?

Brad Scott blaming the players. Singling out Caddy who was our best. Gosh. This is turmoil! Using the word’s demoralising etc.. I don’t see a team who actually knows what the system is. Total breakdown in every aspect of the game. What turns this around?

@AlboMP @JEChalmers you need to enact the windfall tax on our gas companies without delay. Do not wait until the budget, do it now.

@DonsFootySpace Perkins is a waste of time but Langford is a massive disappointment.

Hard to believe the form and body language of both Langford & Perkins. Both look completely out of it

@essendonfc @PaloAltoNtwks I just watched the Eagles v Roos match, and the skills exhibited by both sides put our boys to shame. Scott would do well to make the team sit thru the replay or highlights reel to show what skills are needed to play the game today.

Brad on: - 'Digging in and fighting' through current challenge - Eliminating 'terrible' skill errors - Focusing on 'selfless, team-first' actions - Regaining morale in a difficult period Watch the full post-game presser below. @PaloAltoNtwks essendonfc.com.au/video/1978672/…

@occams_razor_80 @RalphyHeraldSun Maybe cause they don’t see a plan!

@RalphyHeraldSun They clearly don’t believe in your or the game plan though! Delusional.

Brad Scott on his message to Essendon fans after THAT loss. “I have said this for three years, I am never going to tell Essendon fans to be patient. I reckon 25 years is long enough to hear the same message but if I am an Essendon fan I watch the character of these players and particularly the younger players who will make them proud one day. As frustrating as it is, good clubs stick together. You can give up or you can fight. I believe in these guys and think they are made of the right stuff.” @FOXFOOTY

@simonsbargains @RonnyLerner The AFL has destroyed any equalisation policy with top four teams allowed to pick major players

@RonnyLerner AFL and broadcasters must be very concerned watching this. Clubs down the bottom that are uncompetitive and unwatchable at this stage of the year is a major headache. Imagine when we get to June, July and August..

If Essendon’s biggest strength is their midfield, as has been suggested, then they are in more trouble than previously thought. They’re being embarrassed for the second week in a row. Port leading inside 50s 21-4 and clearances 13-4 at quarter-time #AFLPowerDons

@RonnyLerner Wasn’t

@RonnyLerner I can’t understand why a ruckman was picked up in the trade. We have non despite Blakistons best efforts and he tries hard

@Bomber005 @WHWindsock Slow basically

@WHWindsock Parish soft as butter

If I was to start an Essendon podcast and call worst on ground the Henneman Award I'd be awarding it to Caldwell

@WHWindsock He’s been ineffective for years now.

@RonnyLerner Injuries mounting up now. It’s just a matter of time. They’re not fit and the fact they have to scramble defensively and in makes them injury prone

Essendon have now lost 15 games in a row. If you disregard 2016 when they had all those year-long drug suspensions, this is the worst losing streak in the club’s history. Yes, the Bombers’ injury toll last year was absolutely outrageous, but even still, it is an utterly grim milestone for the club. Difficult to see where the next win is coming from #AFLPowerDons

@jagra1525 No. No way. Please no

Would Dean Solomon make a good coach?

#AFLPowerDons youth is one thing but slow in both reactions, pace and basic skill & decision making execution is unforgivable. We have a 2M behemoth who has done nothing since his 1st season who typifies everything that’s wrong with this club.

#AFLPowerDons McGrath is a weight on us with his hospital passes. Have they told to kick it?

#AFLPowerDons Fiorini just stands there rather than using his body?
