They had enough senior players out there yesterday afternoon who didn't play well.

They have got senior players who should be able to continue to stay at a consistent level, who have played consistent, really good football, really good football.

Zach Merritt, of course, being their, I think, their lone superstar there.

But the fact is, yesterday, against a Collingwood team that, I don't want to say ripe for the picking, but probably aren't as strong as they were last year or a couple of years previous when they were able to win a premiership, they just weren't there.

And then you're hoping that the kids actually are able to play at that level each and every week, which I think is a little bit unrealistic.

Sorry, JJ.

What hurts as well is that they don't ever have the ability to play with house money.

And when you haven't had

success or any success for such a long period of time and you're a big powerful club house money you look at richmond make that decision strip it all back they're getting a little bit of queries at the moment but the fact is they're fans and i'm talking from a fan's perspective here they saw three flags in four years melbourne now right now they're playing some really fun football it's great to watch they won that flag in 2021 it gives you a little house money and then you got stephen king coming in so you've got a new coach

a new perspective, and I think Melbourne have sold it pretty well off the field, and they're playing really well on it.

So you look at Essendon, and Carlton to this degree as well, because they haven't had the success, and Carlton have been a little deeper into September, the fans, it's build-up frustration.

It just continues to build and build and build.

Essendon don't have any house money to play with.

There might be an excuse here, an excuse there, but they don't have the luxury of going, okay, we're starting here,

because their fans have not seen a finals win in 20 years and legitimately haven't had any premiership contending hopes for almost 20 years as well.

Sunday crunch time, all thanks to Ford.
