You've got a lot of young talent versus another young side.

But the injuries, it just seemed like a strange one to be the one that, you know, the straw that broke the camel's back.

But I think big picture...

It was inevitable.

It looked like that's the way it was always going from what you read and what you saw.

But it just seemed like the weekend was just the strange game to pick.

Yes, and I think if we look back also, last year injuries were used quite convincingly to be like, hey, this is why it's been a bit rocky, but we're also going to go to the draft.

And then this year's been not much better on the injury front for them either.

So as you say, you stop playing middle-aged players and stop topping up and you go younger and you go younger.

The results will follow that and the results aren't always great.

But if you listen to Brad and the alignment that he's got from the new CEO and then Andrew Welsh, the president,

It seemed as though that was the path.

So there's something has just fallen off the tracks here and it's hard to get exactly what that is.

Is it the fact that they need a change?

Is there another bigger play here?

I'm not sure, but it did seem as though the plan was to go young and absorb the losses.

Well, at least that was communicated to us frequently.

You know, I think it's always nice when someone comes out and is already willing to put their hand up and not play too coy.

And, you know, the other thing I was talking to my friend at work yesterday about is a diehard Essendon fan, Joe.

Like I get all my Essendon from there.
