@SilentGhost263 @CamTaylor2293 Was really poor defensively too. Was responsible for forward 50 entry turnovers and then had no tank or desire to clean it up on the rebound

@CamTaylor2293 2 score involves total from those 17, got the ball, wasn't impactful with it most of the time and only the 2 tackles. truly just think he needs to find form as a forward in the VFL, fwiw hes the last on that list i'd drop but i think we need more speed and pressure up forward.

@jacksondavey McKay was the only serviceable defender. Redman and McGrath were very ordinary in defence. Bout time they stepped up and stop getting caught behind, outbodied and being so slow to set up for the rebound. We enter our 50 poorly, u know that, so get ready for it to come back fast

Watch the defense here from Redman and you can see the criticism is warranted. Easy to rack stats while you're giving oppo 15m of space... This isn't a kid, this is a 28 year old with nearly 150 games played who's just come out after half time. #godons
The Flight Plan@FlightPlanPod

Reddog said in a post-match interview that 'we weren't good enough, myself included.' Appreciate he's holding himself accountable, but he was far from our worst. 26 touches at 100%, 5 intercept possessions, 8 rebound 50s and 558 metres gained. He couldn't have done much more

@ScooterMcNeice Watching blokes like Perkins turn it over on fwd entry, only to half jog back on def (along with redman & McGrath), avoid taking a body, hands on hips while opp mids & fwds walk into open fwd50 was disgraceful. Unfit? Lazy? Dumb? All above? Even young players know to man up

There will be a lot of Brad Scott posts. He ultimately is responsible. But this EFC member is also looking squarely at players as the system they had been working on went out the window in game 1 & a midfield which is full of experienced players was soundly beaten in all areas.

Well that completely sucked. Outside of Sharp, not one other positive I could think of so far tbh. Just the same easy transition and spread from an opposition.

@AnthonyPHoran @rharris334 Bendigo & Lara etc aren’t small & ageing tho. Same with Metro clubs folding. The AFL could do a lot more to help at grassroots with AFLVIC registration costs, insurance coverage, bureaucracy on club volunteers, grants, payments for players getting drafted etc. it would all help

@FOXFOOTY Who at Fox footy is running the hate campaign? Every time Merrett, Welsh, etc & now Solomon is mentioned the leading tagline is negative and inflammatory. Photo linking to Hird trying to stir shit up. Just write your report and leave the opinions at the door. Woman’s weekly trash

@PodricoVargas Look at the head turning offers made for Petracca & Curnow. Real offers. Merrett’s worth to Ess is greater than Curnow or Trac’s to the Dees/ Blues due to the lack of wider talent at Essendon. Had to be a top 10 (like Dee’s got) or a starting 23 player (Hayward at blues) inc

Of course David King blames Hawthorn. Read the room David. We actually said yes to everything Bombers wanted… 4 1sts and hustwaite who they courted for six months. And they still came back at the last minute and wanted a future second thrown in. They were never serious

@WizardEnjoyer34 I think… if the hawks had Merrett they might have been 1st. I think if Essendon didn’t have Merrett they’d be 18th anyway. So I guess if you don’t go down the ladder but can stop Hawthorn going up- it’s a win for Essendon

@JefHill1 @TheSashPod I can see how hawks see it like that, but in reality hawthorn would’ve got a bonafide star and Essendon pot luck in comp drafts. Welsh’s stance has been surprisingly galvanising amongst the fan base. He made a bold call and now has the opportunity to see where it takes us.

@Barge19 @TheSashPod He put his ego above the long term benefits of the club. Would've been a win win but now Essendon are with 3 less 1st rounders and a player who might’ve turned out to be something for a 30 yr old that wants out and won't be there for any finals. 20+ yrs makes sense now

@tommorris32 how does Tom Petroro comes out of all this looking? He reps Merrett, Mitchell and Scott- and it’s been a tactical mess from day one

Hawthorn coach Sam Mitchell called Zach Merrett this morning from the USA to reaffirm how much he wants Essendon's captain to join the club and check in on him. It's abundantly clear Merrett still wants to join the Hawks. His manager Tom Petroro warned the Bombers yesterday that if he stays, the same happens next year and he's worth less as a 31 year-old via a trade than what he is now. Essendon officials and the board acknowledge this reality but are so far remaining steadfast. @FootyonNine @9NewsMelb @traderadio @1116sen
Tom Morris@tommorris32

Still no official trade request from Zach Merrett or his manager in an in-person conversation with key Essendon officials today. They met today with Craig Vozzo, Matt Rosa & Brad Scott. Amicable chats continued as Hawthorn ponders its next and best move. There’ll be more dialogue tomorrow. Essendon’s official line is nothing has changed. @FootyonNine @traderadio @9NewsMelb @1116sen
