We know how mediocre we are as a team. Brad Scott asking bomber fans to prepare for some pain is like telling us we're wet when we're standing in the rain. We know already, but at least he's telling us the truth.
telling Essendon fans to prepare for pain this season is just unacceptable, they've been irrelevant for long enough, and he's saying bomber fans should manage expectations, what a pathetic excuse of a football club
Essendon used to be feared when they arrived in town to play a game...now they are nothing, irrelevant losers hahahaaa the Sheedy era aura of power is GONE and never coming back! HAHAHAHAAAA
@@goldenman8825 Never say never, before 2017 people were saying the exact same thing about Richmond.
@@ajdynonYes but the Sheedy aura of power is still long gone, good luck though
@@goldenman8825True, although my uncle said Sheedy was overrated and should have won more premierships than he did with the players he had. In fact, I've seen some Essendon supporters saying Sheedy has become a toxic influence and that he needs to be removed for the club to move forward.
As an Essendon fan i loved what Scott said and how he speaks.
as a planes fan i love how cooked our fans are. they say we are a shithouse club for the last 20 years but want to win the cup this year. we legit need stability and consistency.
What is it like hoping to win but losing on Anzac day every year?
Roughly 7,150 days since the last finals win. Add 8 years and you're past the 10,000 mark. Good times ahead for the Bombers fans.
😂😂😂😂
its only the win on the last game of the season that counts and were ahead of most of the competition in that aspect
The expectation for short term success quick fixes has been Essendons downfall. Brisbane, Melbourne, Carlton were all cellar dwellers for a decade. Scott is right on the money.
Sure, I'm frustrated as an Essendon fan, but that doesn't effect my grip on reality. We are well aware that our problems run deep and I personally have very modest hopes for this season. Finals would be an absolute bonus but certainly not what I'm expecting. Still love the team, will never stop loving em.
He coached 9 1/2 years at North for 4 finals wins. That's a lot for the Bombers right now. Although he did leave the Roos in their present state so....
He's an awful coach probably some how leave the bombers worse off.
@@joshuasadler9243 His brother amplifies his coaching abilities
Love scotts attitude & belief in himself But the results are in at North You nailed it 9 1/2 years You have to win a flag or its failure Add The shambles they are in is his legacy
if we keep calling for the coaches head after every 1.5 years we will still be missing in finals in another 20 years.
I think we've brought talent in, we've had another year of experience into the young guys it's okay to expect progression. You'd think the next three years is our window. If not then you don't believe in the list or the game plan. Brads a quality coach let's believe.
The window to make finals, or win a final? Your Premiership window is lightyears away.
Who are these three flogs?
There's a culture issue at Essendon, Brad hinted this at the end of the season last year that players don't live an AFL lifestyle over there, they party, go out, fitness falls away easily. Start of the 2023 season they were top 4, they beat carlton, Melbourne, almost had collingwood on Anzac day, put up a fight against geelong at the G. Then suddenly, destroyed at GMHBA, absolutely annihalted by GWS, no where to be seen round 24 against Collingwood and barely beat North & WCE. Stamina, endurance and overall fitness is the issue. Both Mental and physical. Clearly stems from the players lifestyle. Essendon leaders set the precident, the young ones follow. They never play 4 quarters, they taper off towards the end.
More than half our list went to Arizona for an intense training camp a few months back to specifically work on improving fitness and stamina and it the whole thing was lead by the Captain and Vice-Captain. So lack of fitness and stamina really can't be used a excuse anymore.
@@taliamason7986that’s true, I do hope it pays off. They did seem very exhausted last year.
Most afl players go out and party
@@nickksimo I know mate. It was directed towards their overall lifestyle, party is simply an example. I dont recall exactly what Brad said but it was along the lines of their tardiness and effort to stay fit as well as their overall lifestyle not being that of a professional athlete.
@@taliamason7986I seriously cannot get my head around this Arizona thing. Paying big bucks for something individuals can manage themselves. They just need to get a bit of heart, train and eat well in the off season, be disciplined and fitness will come naturally. It's as simple as that. Let's see what this Arizona thing has done for them if they haven't helped themselves during the Christmas hols. It will show on game day. I've just about had enough of their bullcrap fitness excuses.
pretty certain Ive seen the media get into coaches for having unrealistic expectations when future plans are discussed. He may be managing expectations, he may honestly think they arent very good, but seems a bit harsh to criticise him for the answer provided
He's criticizing more the recruitment. It just doesn't add up.
@@joshuasadler9243 ahh, fair enough. I misunderstood the context and thought he was annoyed at Scotts less than enthusiastic performance prediction
Essendon suppourter, intellectually I know quick fixes haven't worked in the past and they won't work now, but emotionally I can't take it any more. I'm thinking I'm better off skipping the AFL and just following local footy this year.
It’s old school reverse psychology at a very basic level. Set the bar low enough and anything just above will be considered an improvement. Playing it super safe.
I think you could be on the money.
Nothing wrong with reverse psychology but when you have 10 first round draft picks as well as as a few All-Australians than the list should actually be talked up instead of talked down by its Coach.
Problem is that morale is also low. Don't know how you can both keep morale up and manage expectations, though.
@@ajdynon morale shouldn't be so low at the start of a new season.
@@joshuasadler9243Totally agree, although I should have made clear that I was referring to the fans rather than the players (I'm not sure how theirs is)
To be fair, Brad Scott can't magically make things better.. Until recruiting is fixed and some other key aspects, like the whole "boys club" running the show, nothing will change even after another 20 years.. That whole "boys club" is simply keeping them from improving in general
He did very magical things when he was at North Melbourne by taking a pretty pretty average list to 2 straight Preliminary Finals back in 2014 and 2015 knocking out the likes of regular top 4 Geelong and Sydney in the process as well starting the 2016 season 9-0. Just keep in mind that club had all sorts of problems at Board room level even back then.
“Be patient bomber fans” , we’ve got kids who’ve never seen success stfu with the patience rhetoric.
Bombers are too nice and have been since the drug saga. I agree it will still take time, why would you build the supporters expectations when the odds are against us. We don't have one player that can turn a match. What a stupid panel this is.
Being a long time member I ain’t waiting 8 years - even 1 is too much - we need to play finals - just coach to win not to turn up
Things that happened the last time Essendon won a final: John Howard was re-elected, Greece hosted the Olympic Games, Russian Federation stops recognizing Soviet Union passports as legal identification, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia, and Slovenia enter the EU, and Mark Zuckerberg launches The Facebook.
It was a fkn joke 😂 he said he’s not going to tell anyone he’s plan then said it’ll be an 8 year build! What’s wrong with that the hawks hand a 5 year play and won 1 in 3 then went on to make finals regularly including 4 flags straight winning 3 in a row. Voss said a 7 year plan the other year and he was being serious whereas Scott was just joking!
Having an 8 year plan does not mean... We are crap until year 8. This is stupidity. But what else should we expect from AFL commentary at this point?
Be good in 8 years? Wishful thinking.
I want to hear about Adelaide.
You and nobody else
Crom
Who is the flog in the middle? Seems like a real peanut
but Scott ain't the coach to take us there , that's guaranteed start with recruiting players , young and have a good idea of how to play , with determination recruiting ,would hope it's better now dud-oros gone , let's see, coach , don't bank on Scott , he might say all the right things ,but I think it ends there
As a Bomber fan I know exactly where we are at ...all I expect from them is a bit of mongrel.....and no more of this over possession bullcrap. We just need a bit of stability and NO over expectation.
Caleb Daniel is a superstar? Have i been in a coma? What year is it?
That word gets thrown around way too easily these days.
The club needs to start a test program
english missed nearly half the year with concsussion these blokes have no idea hahaha
I'm so bored of being mediocre every year... 😑
The reason Essendon keep falling into mediocrity is because they keep rushing the rebuild and trying to take shortcuts to appease an understandably impatient fanbase…Scott is right to follow the Fagan model of patience and continuous learning 👍
@@DunningKrugerJnrActually its because we outright refused to do any rebuild at all until pretty recently. 4 years ago to precise when we drafted 3 First Round picks in Cox, Reid and Perkins. Prior to that draft we mostly brought in loads of veterans such as Goddard, Chapman, Kelly, Cooney, etc that were past their primes and a bunch of decent players such as Stringer, Shiel, Smith, etc that we overpaid. Here and there we would still get high draft picks such as Heppel, Parish and McGrath when we had horrendous seasons but there was never any real push from the club itself to do a legitimate rebuild regardless until 2020. As a result we were always relying on the core of Watson, Stanton, Hocking, Zaharakis, Ryder, Hurley, Hooker from the late 2000's-early/mid 2010's and the core between and after them of Heppel, Merret, Parish, McGrath, Daniher, Redman, Langford, Ridley (who is easily our most important player) during the late 2010's to all get us Finals in 2009, 2014, 2017 and 2019. 2021 we somehow returned to Finals but in saying that the quality from 7th-11th that season was genuinely bad and we obviously got a massive reality check the following season.
don't bring bevy into this. just stupid.
I’ve stopped going since 2020 don’t feel like I am missing out on much. Hearing nonsense like this 8 year plan is just proof in the pudding. See you guys in 8 years.
Wonder how they'll spin it when Hawthorn beats them by 8 goals
'At least it wasn't 10' 😂😂😂😂😂
Maybe the plan is to finish bottom and get the top draft pick?
why recruit mature players if they have a 8 year plan???
Good question. You usually recruit mature players to top up when you're in the Premiership window, which the Bombers clearly are not.
I'm glad you two clowns aren't coaches
The Bombers the party boy club.
Elaborate please
@@stevelozevski8151 Girls drinking partying of course and Heppel is the ring leader. everyone knows that you flog
It's an excuse to be mediocre for the next 10 years, and a plea to Essendon fans to tolerate consistent dissapointment from the club. Essendon football club hasn't been relevant since the PED saga, and prior to that they weren't relevant since 2000. Essendon fans should boycott memberships. If it's an 8 year plan, that basically insists they will get nothing from their current list. PATHETIC
We won’t win a game the first 7 rounds. Hawthorne are better this year and I doubt we’ve improved our defence to a sensible standard.
I think you'll beat the Hawks and you're a chance of beating the Saints. I agree you'll probably get done in the other five games, but there can always be a surprise or two.
just a coach buying himself time on top $$$
Brad Scott is hopeless. Hopefully he has gone by the end of the year.
