And this is a pattern which has been continuing for the past 3 weeks that I know..
If Essendon can't make a clean break of things and run the ball like it used to do then you don't deserve the win...and you don't deserve last night's win..
its no wonder the old timers are in heart failure... :P
It doesn't matter that we won by one point. Remember we only won three games and a draw last year. Winning these close games is a hell of an improvement than losing them. And we can still improve a hell of a lot.
When you are thirty six points down against the top side and find a way to win, that is an indication of moving in the right direction. We belted Brisbane by sixty odd points.
We havent been able to run the ball like we used to for four five years, its called rebuilding. Our pace through the midfield is getting better, and our all over the ground defensive pressure is up there with the best.
Im not saying we can win the flag, but we sure can go a long way to shaping the outcome of the eight and the finals.
I know there was controversy in the Sydney game, BOTH ways, but in a one point game you can finger a dozen What Ifs? and shoulda beens.
Go Dons.
