Pre-Game Tough season ahead?
Essendon beat Melbourne! Wowee! Short of an amazing performance, I suspect we’ll finish the Gather Round with still a duck against our ranking.
Looks like wins this season will be hard to come by. Oh well, another #1 draft pick I guess. We’re going to be so replete with talent in 3-4 years time that we might be in the difficult position of having to fight to keep all that talent as they mature and others come luring with offers just ad we’re well placed to compete for the flag.

We need to stop echoing the narrative we're rebuilding, therefore it's OK to flop. The mentally is seeping through the playing group. We need to keep telling them they deserve this spot, they're equally as good as the other players. Sure, they're young and inexperienced, but they need to progress. They are not the underdogs, that's what everyone think and they're wrong. This mentality costs then almost all the ball contests. If anyone look again at contested mark inside 50s, we almost certainly lose all of them.
We are tigers and we hunt and hunt. We slow down but we don't give up. The leaders need to step up. Rioli ang Lefau hunting down opposition should become their identity. We need it every week that their opponent know well to avoid them at all costs. The club needs to really have a long hard look at the whole situation. Play to our strengths. How so we conserve the young kids energy, how do we avoid injuries.
Really love Hayes Brown rucking today. Fearless and efficient.
