@AFL Rebuild

The first month has been __.

@FOXFOOTY @CorbinMiddlemas @kayosports And Corbin would know….🙄

'HOW THE MIGHTY HAVE FALLEN' 📉 @CorbinMiddlemas deep dives into the state of play at Essendon, and the indicator which tells fans "everything you need to know" on where they sit. 📺 Watch #AFLTonight on ch. 504 or stream via @kayosports | bit.ly/44plb6A

@epicredcards @FootballWTF247 What an embarrassing moment for that gentleman acting as if he was dying after that…I’m sure his family are proud.

Throwback to Mourinho’s deadly nose-grab 💀🫳👃

@Deanos_DT @10NewsMelb @AnthP_ @essendonfc @AFL Scott pretty much admitted after Saturday that the club was in rebuild…and Blind Freddy can see it too. These mixed messages are not helping, it is feeding the media and making the narrative much worse.

@10NewsMelb @AnthP_ @essendonfc @AFL I know he’s just saying what the club have told him to, but FMD all it does is show how delusional the club is. Nothing against Caldwell, he’s just been pushed to do the chat.

Essendon is staring at a record-equalling 17-straight losses. Midfielder Jye Caldwell says the club isn't rebuilding, & their issues are a quick fix, but a Bomber great disagrees | @essendonfc @AFL #AFL

@Andrew664621 @RalphyHeraldSun The journos need to be writing stories I guess but, we really don’t know what’s going in behind the scenes…apart from Scott finally admitting the club is in a full rebuild. Now its made that choice the club has to stick fat and see it through.

@bombercol @RalphyHeraldSun What gave it away,Col?

The full price of a Brad Scott sacking. He would receive a full payout for 2027 without any discounts for a club that has paid out millions and millions in coaching payouts for terminated coaches back to 2010. Can they hold firm to the club’s plan? heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/team…

@squeakee21 @RalphyHeraldSun 13 of them with a horrific injury list to be fair.

@bombercol @RalphyHeraldSun 17 losses in a row would probably be doing the job

@WestHam_Central It’s good. It shows that Spurs as a club are panicking. At this late stage of the season I see it more disrupting and a manger who will get 8 games as a contract…what’s in it for him apart from a bit of pocket money?

Thoughts on the sacking of Igor Tudor from a West Ham perspective?

@22Donovanwillis @absoessendon Merrett and Laverde are miles apart…6 best and fairests apart. 😅

@bombercol @absoessendon But a 30yo who doesn't want to be there is? 😉

A whipping boy at the Bombers is rated as an Elite defender at GWS. Maybe it’s us?

@ScooterMcNeice Couldn’t agree more. The club’s admitted it’s in rebuild, so let’s allow Scott, Rosa & the club get on with what it’s started so it comes out the other side stronger and sustainable. Changing it now may see the club back to quick fix mode & a road to nowhere

Honestly the losing streak is like 50th of my concerns to be blunt. I don't care. 13 of those are part of a situation you wouldn't wish on any club. I care about 2026 & continuity to build a system for future positive results, quality development of players & improving leadership

@Deanos_DT We shouldn’t be drinking too much of the media’s bath water here. The club is in a rebuild…Brisbane, Richmond for instance, their rebuilds took time. Now that the club has finally admitted it’s in a rebuild it has to stick fat here and let it happen.

@bombercol True, we need him to stick around so we can make certain of pick 1 👍

So, are Brad and Vossy getting the arse this week?

@cdesilva23 TBH, it’s the 1st time BS has admitted EFC is rebuilding. A new coach may change this and risk leading us to more pain long term. I hate seeing us lose each week but for BS to give us all hope in him, we need to see steady improvement as the season unfolds.

Brad Scott has got to be in strife. I can’t remember Essendon ever being this unwatchable, that includes the 2016 top-up year.

@7AFL @cleary_mitch I bet he was going to the umpire to stop the game as the ball was deep in Essendon’s forward line….

"I expect Tristan Xerri to be missing a fair bit of footy" - @cleary_mitch A unique incident will see the North Melbourne ruckman sidelined for misconduct.

@Cpcc15 Time to apply for draft concessions?

Essendon are a absolute rabble won’t win a game unbelievable

@AFL The protected species (Umpire) turning a blind eye to a text book holding the ball…🤔

Zane Duursma snuck it through 👏 #AFLDonsNorth

@Cpcc15 @thebendingone We’ll see then tomorrow. I rate May and think he will be a good player for us. His pre season was strong and probably deserved another shot.

@bombercol @thebendingone No but I watched him closely no effort was a genuine passenger I would rather him get some solid work in the vfl and earn his spot back

Hope I’m wrong but that forward line looks too slow to be effective

@Cpcc15 @thebendingone Did any of our forwards do anything against Hawthorn? Outside of the first quarter, none of our forwards got into the game…

@bombercol @thebendingone I’m sorry did he do any of that against hawthorn? He was 5 metres behind his man all day for his 3 touches.

@belinduhpyne How many coalition pollies does it take to fill up the car with petrol? 🤔😅

I wouldn’t trust Angus Taylor around fuel either.
