@FlightPlanPod Leadership is thin, effort comes from all, particularly the leaders. Skill errors just demoralising. Scott should not have been extended last year, no need. Unless there is a win in next 6 weeks Scott is gone imo

I (Toddy) have been a big Brad Scott fan since his time with the Roos, which I felt he, the players and the club punched so far above their weight, I couldn't help but be impressed. Unfortunately, he hasn't come close to replicating that club-wide mindset in red & black, & based on our two games of 2026 - the players ostensibly, have lost belief. Even worse, first round draft picks either can't get a game have been delisted or have regressed and stagnated in disastrous fashion. It is further compounded by a huge leadership void on field. I've always been glass half full guy when it comes to Essendon, but a hard decision our coach needs to be made asap. Either declare he'll see out the rest of the season to right the ship, or actively seek his replacement ASAP. Essendon fans are more than welcome to reply with your thoughts and feelings - but I'm restricting it to accounts we follow only ❤️🖤

@Cpcc15 With due respect, what other options do we have.? I think our mids make it look worse.. Only option months ago was to trade someone in in late 2025 or pre season.

I’m 50/50 on Blakiston does some nice things but does some horrible things too.

Have I missed Brad Scott's presser??🙄🙄😳😳

The @RBAInfo are clueless clowns, too focused on "inflation" less so the true cost of living. Lifting rates due to exogenous or transitory events, rather than letting things run their course. Just crazy shit!

@rohan_connolly 100% unfortunately Cox, Perkins and others are a bust. Same for Ridley, all of which hurts. So much pressure on the latest draft crop and Caddy / Kako..

My major takeaway from the weekend is how far behind Essendon are, using Melbourne as an example. The Dees are not at all a lock for Top 8, but they look like they are a chance. It's a wake up call on many levels, we are a mile off. The Dees were minus Trac, Clary, May & Viney

@F1 had totally dropped the ball with the new regs. Just embarrassing. Fans will walk away. Commentary is paid PR and gagging drivers who speak out. Cancelled races in Middle East might be a blessing. Post Japan changes must happen.

I'm sure Andrew Dillon is an intelligent person, shame he has had a personality by-pass. This is not breaking news...

@ausgrandprix 10 mins prior to race and all we have is a DJ playing tunes.. No commentary, no insights.. No idea! @F1

@KymIllman hello from the Senna Stand. Ready for Quali👍

@JacintaAllanMP You are a joke. Public Servants telling the Private Sector how to run business is the height of luncay.! Please go away and take the Unions with you.

From 1 September: if you ask your boss to work from home, the law will be on your side.

@metrotrains @7NewsMelbourne Don't bother, it's every week on Mernda and Hurstbridge lines. Incidents at Jolimont and / or Flinders St shut down these lines.. complete joke of a service. No contingency plans..Joke

@EFCcorrespond @7NewsMelbourne Good morning. Can you provide further information? Are you referring to a particular rail line/delay?

@metrotrains this service is so shit. Every week delays. @7NewsMelbourne this is a story of a broken service. Vic Govt builds over passes and tunnels for suburban trains that operate in the stoneage. How embassies for a city of 5m+.

@BomberRicko Mate, I am with you. Catch you soon at WH.

We have definitely found a player in Jacob Farrow. Did this little sidestep in the first half that was like a piece of art.

@ScooterMcNeice Kicking into F50 still terrible 🙄🙄

Tigers up 14-1 and controlling play so far. Skill mistakes costing us

@ringsau @GuyTalksFinance I remember as a kid in the 80s the fast train idea floated and the Govt refused to offer tax incentives/ breaks. No vision then, or now.

@EFCcorrespond @GuyTalksFinance Decentralising agencies is a good concept. As would be adding high speed rail links to regional centres. To make regional living more convenient. But Australia is broke and these policies cant be afforded. I wish it was not so.

You can make housing more affordable by moving to a more affordable area. Why aren’t more people doing this?

@ringsau @GuyTalksFinance Probs not the department to move, I'm thinking more the generic (ATO to Albury etc)..

@EFCcorrespond @GuyTalksFinance Some changes like this are so big and so expensive that they never happen. They tried to relocate the APVMA to Armadale. 90% of the skilled research scientists quit, agency performance collapsed and the move cost over $100 million and government has given up trying to finish it.

@ringsau @GuyTalksFinance It just takes 10+ year strategic Plan for the Country/ economy

@EFCcorrespond @GuyTalksFinance That’s never as easy as it sounds Firstly moving government departments cost billions. You’ve got leases to break and new buildings to find. You’ve got to make thousands of staff redundant and hire thousands of replacements or expensively relocate them.

@ringsau @GuyTalksFinance Fed / State Govts need to further decentralise public service sectors to regional centres. 5-10 plan with infrastructure to meet growth etc. Govt have no long term strategic vision!

@GuyTalksFinance Because Australia has 6 major capital cities and 5 of them are ranked in the top 15 most impossibly affordable cities on the planet to buy a house in. Where are people supposed to move for cheaper housing?

Zverez, not mentally tough enough. He won't win a major unless he can step it up. Hope he can. #AO26
