Okay, the motto with young guys in rebuilding is get as many games into him as possible.

They selected Matt Guelfi, who lasted three minutes over this kid.

And now they're going to select him because they've got over 20 injuries.

What are they actually doing to the kid?

Morning, Gerard.

Essendon's results are a distraction.

The real question that needs to be asked is that four years into his coaching tenure, what is it that Brad Scott actually brings to Essendon?

that suggests that he's in any way the most appropriate person to be coaching this rebuild.

Because Simpson and Hinckley, I thought, were extremely illuminating on Saturday during crunch time, making the observations that, again, four seasons into this, Eston has no identifiable system and plays with no spirit.

Scott himself is directly implicated in all of the incoherent list management decisions that occurred

By his own admission, at the end of 2023, when he said that they were supposed to be rebuilding or resetting, we then proceeded to sign up a whole bunch of players on horrendous contracts, overexcited about performance during 2024.

And it just seems to me that we're being distracted by week-to-week results.

history seems to be repeating itself because if you look at his coaching record, this is the eighth year that he's coached a club in a linear progression down the ladder from his final years at North Melbourne to his four years with Essendon.

And I'll tell you, there's just pretty clearly a problem with the judgment that he has when it comes to being able to coach a team through a rebuild.

And perhaps you should start by not aloofly sitting in the coach's box when every other coach in the AFL seems to be coaching their young players from the side of the ground.
