Travel, Food, Wine, Essendon FC. Order depends on results.

I know things for us fans are tough right now, me included, and many of you (after 20 plus years) won’t have the same thoughts as I do, but this is honestly how I feel:

The club needed to go into a rebuild. Soo I understand the 30+ list changes, bringing in new kids, reshaping the list, and giving them games so they can develop and grow together.

I also understand that when you actually look at the list profile, it tells a story. Nearly half the list has been at the club for 3 years or less, and that group has played on average only around 20 games at the club.

That’s barely a season of footy together — still learning the system, still building cohesion.

I also get that young teams, including 19 debutants in 26 games, take time to build chemistry and properly ingrain a system and have a lot of ups and downs. Plus when you factor in the injuries we had last year, that continuity and cohesion become even harder to build.

So I understand there is still a lot of work to do and growth to come with this playing list and that things won’t dramatically improve quickly and there will be inconsistencies/ups and downs. But hopefully once these kids get 40-50 games into them, things will improve and look better.
But bare in mind, that’s not excusing the coaches who also needs to develop and coach these kids the right way as-well…

With all that said, and as tough as it is right now, this just feels like the reality of a proper rebuild and what can it actually look like.

Which is something the club hasn’t fully committed to before. So here we are..

Considering Sully Robey isn’t even 100% fit yet. To have 23 disposals and 4 goals is an outstanding effort in the VFL!

Equally impressive - to be out for 12 months and spend countless hours rehabbing and staring at the white line, doing lap after lap of the Hangar. What a huge effort by Tom Edwards, to have 16 disposals and 5 goals in his first game back! What an effort!

Green shoots 🖤♥️💪

Anderson & King are 25, Rowell & Jamarra are 24, Andrew is 23, Humphrey is 21 & they’ve drafted 9 first round kids over the past 3 years. Damage is done, the Suns won’t lose til 2040

@AnthP_ I’ll have a read of the training reports for sure, but the end of season review might be ‘too soon’ haha.
