I didnt see that coming, I thought you were taking the piss a few weeks ago when you said Essendon were average and are probably not top 8 material.
How much did last weekends effort have to do with tonight, they looked flat and out on their feet early in the second quarter. Thompson mentioned during the week that the 33 degree conditions in Perth plus 8 players with a virus took a bit out of them. There was talk on SEN thursday that 6 of those players still hadnt trained this week and were still suffering with gastro
Yes true, several of the players have had bad bouts of gastro for a week and didnt train this week but thats not an excuse. If players are not fit dont pick them, plenty of guys in the two's that are fit. Bomber was simply outcoached tonight, Richardson made it a scrappy affair and Bomber couldnt find a way to break the flood, had no plan B and sat on his hands all night. The players skills were apalling and I reckon half their goals came from turnovers inside our back half. Also helps having a forward target, St Nick showed how much of champion he is, never stopped running and had a hand in most of their goals. Saints worked harded and did the hard stuff so much better.
