l been hanging on this for sometime & thought it times to start a thread
Matthew Knights who is a knowledge of football on & off the field is now coaching Essendon
he done his time coaching before taking over a AFL club
watching Essendon play its Nab cup games it clearly stands out they are playing a new breed of football compared to when Sheedy was there & l think its also got alot to do with the standard of assistant coaching coming from Prescott & others
They are exciting to watch with fast flowing football running in numbers
Watch tonight you will see what l'm talking about they have a great game plan & stick to it
Then the crunch How come Richmond style of football has never changed over several coaches & many years
same mistakes, bad foot skills, bad kicking for goal, chip kicking, sideways, backwards, no running in packs, hand skills, soft weak bodies, no fighting, no maning up & most of all no hard ruff stuff l want to see them do
l can go on but why is it Knights can change a team style of play within months
(winning games) & our dumb coaches cant change anything & we not winning much in fact we got nothing to brag about
l seen them train & they are the worst training side in the league compared to any other clubs l seen
