Been a bomber fan for over 40 years.
I love my team.
But unfortunately we’ve been watching the same crap for over 15 yrs.
A midfield that is too short, lacks stars, is inconsistent and doesn’t hurt sides by breaking out of the middle and kick goals. With the exception of McGrath and Heppell,….Shiel, Merritt, Zaka etc go missing for too long in games and don’t get the job done. Plenty of useless possessions though.
A forward line that lacks quality, once again is inconsistent, cannot kick straight and generally does not put enough pressure on opposition backlines. With the exception of Stringer who is a gem when on, the others even Daniher play stupid football. Tippa is just not reliable at this stage.
Our backline is our saving grace.
Hooker, Hurley, Ambrose, Francis, Gleeson. And Saad & Ridley which are stars.
Our new Ruckman Draper looks the goods.
Not sure what our game plan is . But it looks to be going backwards. We play anything but direct, handball too much, don’t chase and tackle enough and can’t seem to take a contested mark. Even when we do get it in our forward line which can be quiet a lot, we try and pass it off because none of our fowards other than Stringer have the brains to calm down and kick it straight.
We need to get rid of the following players immediately because they play dumb football and make too many mistakes. They include McKernan, Langford and yes the Irishman.
And while we are at it we should flog off Daniher and Fantasia because it’s not worth holding onto players that want to go.
I don’t really know how we can get out of this thing we’re in, apart from replacing a 1/3 rd of our playing list. Unfortunately it will take another 5 yrs before real improvement. Sure we might make finals but we will not be a contender until we get some more A Graders and the majority of rest are B’s.
Stuck in the middle with you: Essendon are in no man's land
