The moment that sparked Essendon's remarkable turnaround - Footy Classified | Footy on Nine 

Building us up so that they can lay the boots in even harder when we trip up 😂

'Theyve got a pedestrian list'. Well see how that turns out Sam. Most egotistical journo ou there

Same old media roundabout.

Essendon were 5th after round 17 last year, will 2024 show growth or will they crumble?? I think as long as injuries dont play a part they finish top 4. That would be a turn around in a season!!

How long is it going to take 5 weeks!!

Nothing will change

Hogan’s comments came back to bite. Without the umpires on the weekend, you would have not known he was playing.

The sleeping giant is waking up go Dons

AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!..

Talks about Kelly on Green and shows clip of Kelly holding Toby, no free then umpire gives free to Kelly for Toby apparently holding him LOL... so much for clear holding when defender puts arms around forwards body. They had a win, lucky them. They beat GWS early last year too and then got smashed later on. Hype them up for the supporters but only way they'll get in top 8 for finals is by AFL and umpires admission. They are still an 8 to 12 team overall.

@1:36 True Lloydy but we lose that game v GWS and we would hav been 9th. Ladder is tight

This is exactly what’s wrong with media pundits. So round 4 they’re a mess with a pedestrian list and miles away from contending, five rounds later they’re contenders? You don’t win Premierships or finals in round 9 and Essendon are tracking well but have fallen down countless times in the back end of seasons in the past two decades, including last year. Maybe wait until round 15-18 to make assessments, I’m sure there’ll be some good and bad games in there. Would anyone really say the Dons are a better chance of doing something over the journey this season than Sydney, GWS, Geelong, Melbourne, Carlton, Collingwood, Brisbane, Port… I wouldn’t. That’s your eight right there.

It’s the hope that kills you

How long will it take? Brad Scott has already said it’s an 8 year program. We’re in year 2. Great to see the progress in the last month but it’s only been a month. New recruits in the team, McKay, Gresham, Duursma, it takes time. If the Dons can make finals I’ll take that as a win. If they win a final that would be huge! But I’m not expecting that. It takes years to build a premiership team. Brad’s been in charge for just under a year and half. They’re showing progress and that’s all you can ask at this stage. Are they a top 4 team. Not right now. They’ve only beaten one top 8 team, well one and half if you count the draw with the Pies, we’re beaten by Sydney & Port, and barely got past the Crows and Eagles. We’ll only really know when we get to the final 6 rounds when they have gone missing in recent times. Having said that, I’m really liking the way are playing, the intensity, they have to to keep that up. That’s what finals teams are about. Go Dons! 🔴⚫️

we should be ok now i think

I'm not onboard with the bombers YET........ If we are the real deal these next two weeks should be comfortable wins,we need the percentage boost!! Don't want to hear Brad Scott pedal the "how tight the competition is" narrative if we only manage scrappy wins against bottom four sides!! We all remember last year surely 🤦🏻

footy show may of just cursed Essendon.

Most hated club in the AFL give me a spell

Doubt they will make finals

WHO HAVE THEY BEAT LOL
