“But outdoors of that, the trouble and intent been fairly good for the 12 months and we sit now 4 and two.”
Essendon’s initial six games included three away – against both South Australian clubs in Adelaide and the Swans at the SCG.

“I can say we have got numerous work to do however clearly at the least the bookmakers within the business suppose the identical. We’re definitely not getting forward of ourselves. We know the place we’re at. But it is good reward for effort to take a seat right here 4-2.”
The Bombers next meet Collingwood at the MCG on Anzac Day with growing confidence. “Belief is one thing you construct one step at a time and we have taken one other step in that,” Scott said after downing the Crows. “But Anzac Day is an unbelievable privilege. It’s a singular sport.”
Scott savoured his first experience as an Essendon coach on Anzac Day last year. “I knew it was enormous however final 12 months I used to be blown away,” he mentioned.
“I’ve been actually lucky in my AFL life to be part of some actually huge video games and finals and grand finals and Anzac Day sits out by itself.
