'Unfair to say it's personnel' - Scott reveals where Dons are lacking | Press Conference | Fox Footy 

Garry Lyon summed it up best at three quarter time: they are the biggest bunch of panic merchants in the game. The amount of players who butcher the footy whenever they are under the slightest bit of pressure is astounding. And the lack of communication within the backline is sub-afl standard.

"A bit of a trend in our season" - Brad Scott. Try the last 20 years 💣💥

It isn’t Brad Scott’s fault no coach has been able to succeed at this club recently they just don’t have the list to make finals it’s really simple

Now heading towards 21 years...........and counting. I'll look forward to the Bombers winning the trade week again to continue on with their mediocrity.

The Essendon edge. Edging their way down the ladder and out of finals for 20 years

Essendon may for lost the game, but they did have a win tonight with Sheedy and Dodoro stepping down

No mongrels. Debuted 3 kids in 2 years. Selecting the same tired players every week. AND NO COACHING MOVES!

Bombers supporter here for 36 years, Essendon are a joke of a club. Gutless, pathetic and full of excuses as it’s been the the last 20 years

Remember when McKay was being hyped up earlier in the season. Norf are smiling 😂😂

I think we need to focus on the management of the club.The people running Essendon have been asleep at the wheel for the last twenty years.

As a bomber fan I couldn't a toss if we win.....it's how we lose...and when we lose its diabolical.....and confidence sapping

How people are blaming Brad is beyond me. Three different coaches, the same prima donna players, same result. But, I honestly believe now Dodoro has completely gone, watch this turn around quite quickly, ie Rosa won't pick pampered players from expensive colleges, he'll get players that have a high footy iq, that WANT to play footy for Essendon. It's easily, and has been one of the most unbalanced sides in the last 20 years. Holes everywhere, pampered players that only play when things are just so.

So much attitude oof 5:00. Just answer the damn question. It's a fair question.

We are the laughing stock of the other clubs!!! What a joke!!! It was always going to be difficult to beat the top of the table Swans... But at least show some effort & conviction Instead , once again, when the pressure is on, we capitulate!!! There are a number of players that need to be sacked , save for Merrett & a couple of other players Mackay is a joke - weak as!!! What a waste of time & money!!! Laverde is nowhere Stringer - if he is to get another contract (I wouldn't), one year & performance based; ie doesn't score, no pay !!! Simple!!! Langford has been poor since Anzac Day.. Drop him or delist him!!! Our defenders are panic merchants Our forwards can't convert & don't pressure the opposition... For mine, many of our players are not AFL standard.... 😭 Another wasted year !!!! Clearly we either don't have the players to execute Brad Scott's plan or he is delusional Just look at Hawthorn Anyway, I guess for me it is a relief - no more Essendon stress for another year... 😢 I am a gutted long time Essendon fan & member.... 😭 Go Dons!!! ⚫🔴

He said at the start of year that the ones not buying in 💯 would show and has so hopefully he gets rid of half the list the 5 or 6 players that we have are not enough Sack em brad get em out of the team please Go dons ❤ 🖤

There’s at least 8 players on Essendons list that are VFL standard at best. I would hate to play in that side if a fight broke out. Not many have a bit of mongrel in them, that’s why sides beat up on them every year!

Bleak being a dons fan

Wanganeen, Davey, Davey, need to go asap. None show any potential at all at senior level, waste of time because they were related to former Bombers. McKay doesn’t care enough, no desperation or fight, or just is a little slow up stairs, Laverde undersized for the role he always gets, Menzie can’t kick so it’s useless having a small forward that can’t create or capitalise on half chances, Caldwell playing like Sam Walsh, works hard and competes and finds it back skills man… the skills. Hurts to watch. Coaches need to work out what to do with Perkins, has ability but is a bit lost being thrown around, seems more dangerous as a permanent forward or get his running up to be a winger, strong core, good hands, penetrating kick. Trade Tsatas or Hobbs if we have no plans to use them, Tsatas to dominating as an inside mid and didn’t even get a game with Parish injured for weeks.

With Dodo gone finally we can go after a decent tall forward instead of stacking up the midfield which is already full. We made a huge bungle with McKay in our defence let's get the link between the midfield and forward right and please let's go after footballers with elit football skills and footy IQ instead of athletes.

Dodoro never grasped that you need to recruit for talent and character, not just talent

Player list changes in the off-season at the Bomber's? The Swans closes in on the double chance.

Pre ten DONS Bunch of handbags

Looks like that “EDGE” could do with some sharpening. It’s been getting more blunt as the season progresses.

They don’t have the forwards. They’ve been winning inside 50s all year. They just can’t finish. We need a better full forward and some some small forwards.

I hate coaches who pretend that it isn't all about the cattle. He's brother literally coached a premiership by standing there watching his players do it for him.

Essendon are a 10-14 team at best , they had the easiest draw and only won those games at the start of the year because of there accuracy if not for that they would be sitting bottom 4

Hardest part isn’t competing the hardest part is that last kick inside 50 like every footy person says

Who's going to let Essendon know you have to play all 4 quarters of footy?

Just start. Full rebuild now, no amount of topping up is going to propel this team of duds into top 4. That list is old and still making rookie mistakes. Pick 5 players can’t even break into this side.

James Hird. It’s Time

Love seeing bombers loss anda Scott unhappy. Just even better as a combo

Listening to malthouee on the radio .. he was saying our backline is way too slow and our fowards are way too slow . He singled out gresham . Stringer for not working hard enough and our ball movement lacks dare .. when we actually move the balk quickly we can look good .. this is not a quick fix .. l thibk we can be a good team but the clubs culture sucks

Yeah Yeah now hand over the reigns to the marketing department, let the spin begin :0)

I knew the Dons would come out swinging and then run out of Petrol tickets in the second half. It was a thing of Beauty to watch ! Go Pies !

It was rotten to leave Dyson Heppell out of the team. He has been the heart of the Club in good times and Bad. So much for loyalty. Thanks Dyson, you've been brilliant. The best of luck for the future mate.

It's funny. I would have been happy with 1.9 in the last quarter tonight

Brad Scott's never been a good coach

80% politician, 20% coach.

Cant make strawberry jam with sh it brad

The most mediocre coach I have ever seen

Brad isn't missing set shots. Brad isn't missing marks or missing easy kicks. But Brad picks the team.

most consistent club undoubtedly always shite

Some of these so called journalists ...joke

this man terrible choice for a coach lets be real.

Let's all laugh at Essendon! Again! Haaaaaaa!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
