He has another couple years of grace.
Its all a predictable, glorious cycle:
Once those pesky finals are out of the way, attention can focus back on Essendon
- Firstly they will definitely win trade week. A big fish eg. Mckay will be landed at a bargain price, "North were absolutely fleeced by Adrian, hehehe"
- Secondly, Essendon will land a couple of flakely outside back flanker types, when they really need some big bodied grunt midfielders but nevertheless be declared as having a highly successful draft.
- Come January, their overrated one good game a month types will be declared burning up the track, think Stringrer, McGrath , Shiel
- come Februrary , their young hopefulls will get full page news articles about what fantastic futures they have, how we can expect a Hobbs break out season and Martin for All Australian
- April, May they ll have a postive win loss ratio and be in the the Eight, their fans will start puffing their chest out, bumping old threads where we were laughing at them and proudly declaring this seaon is different "suck shit Carlton, Hawks or North supporters"
-come July , Esendon will start getting flogged again and slip out of the eight back to their rightfull position around 10 -14. Essendon supporters will go quiet, and opposition supporters will bump the Dodoro thread and chortle.
- rinse and repeat

Enjoy mid table and all its spoils ..
good Point.Not a lot of flexibility with in game coaching either. The magnets never move.
