Over the last 6 weeks, No 1 ball movement team in the competition. No 1 scoring team out of their D50, 3rd most uncontested marks, use the 45 degree kick 3rd most in the competition.

I said similar in that i didnt think anything had changed between our Lions game and dogs game.
Now Jagga backed that up in the post match interview
And
Stats back that up too.

Any people who wanted vossy sacked care to weigh in on these revelations?

It was obvious the team was on the improve way before Voss resigned.

I'll say it again, we blinked, and I fear in the process our club will eventually undo all or a lot of the progress that was being made in changing our game style, simply due to impatience, fear and uncertainty.

I have no idea what games some people are watching, or what they see when they watch, but it was clear our game style was changing but failing in execution, we could not do it for long enough or well enough. Maybe Voss resigning was the pressure release, but the game style has not changed even a miniscule over the last couple of weeks! They just got better at it which has enabled the team to execute it for longer.

It's obvious the club panicked, and it's not the first time!

Even if we finish 2026 strongly I expect the next coach to wipe the board sending us back to square one, after another 3 or 4 years we'll panic again and give them the ar5e, because that is what we've been doing for 20 years.

In the meantime, the AFL media and Commentary will probably just keep laughing at us, and we deserve it!

Which senior players? The ones that left? The ones that were dropped? The ones he brought back into the 1's?
The ones who almost won us the game against the lions?

They played pretty well for him while he was there at the end, just couldn't get over the line.

I think most of us wish it were different but generally the only thing you can change mid season is the coach.

I feel like theres been more direct entries into our f50 and we dont seem as gassed at times.

But that could be the sugar hit we speak of.

It's pretty despicable by the media to cause trouble by framing a negative narrative around Voss, then once he's gone they pivot and give him considerable credit. Shameful.

They earn maximum money from controversy and conflict, why would they oppose a war with any genuine evidence to the contrary?

I'm expecting the opposite with Hird.
Media pumping up his tyres, largely, then when he gets in the media will turn and say how could essendon bring him back after the heartache he caused......and never admitted fault for mind you!

Not that I trust them, but the media pumping up Hird sort of makes sense if what Caro and Cornes report is true.

Caro and Cornes asserted Hird had been labelled by The Big House as never to coach again, and that would automatically put the media on the side of being Hird boosters because it brings controversy and conflict and that is profitable.

The AFL bang on about integrity, ............................., the media do not care about it!
