Shane Crawford

You know, they go hard at their players.

But you'd have to be.

You look at what they're dishing up, you'd be pissed off at being a supporter of that club at the moment.

Crawford, if I'm Scott and I'm coach of Essendon, I would not be practicing ever again.

anything offensively at the footy club at all.

I'd be focusing on defense.

I think defense and pressure is what's going to get you right.

You know, there's a mindset that comes with that.

I think if you can get that part right, everything else will flow from that.

But you've got to get that defensive work

on point get after the opposition um who cares about kicking goals you know if you if you put the pressure on the opposition you'll be right in the game um so if i'm if i'm the coach of veston i wouldn't be worrying about kicking goals or worrying about offense i'll be focusing purely on defense and getting after the opposition because you've seen games this year with the teams down the bottom or anywhere if your pressure's on and you're at the opposition from the start of the game you're always going to be in the game as soon as you're five ten percent off

Teams are too good, they'll kick goals in you.

So I'll be focusing on purely defensive pressure and tackling.

And, you know, that's what the supporters want to see too.

They want to see you at the opposition, not bloody...

Skirting around the packs.

Get after the opposition.

Just tackle.

Get after them.

That's all they have to focus on this week.
