Last week's dramatic demolition by the Adelaide Crows left Essendon reeling and Bomber coach Matthew Knights under siege. With all quarters weighing into the debate, some fans and media were calling for his head, others for a game plan change. This week was renewal time for the Bomber squad.
Media presenters and fans alike were expecting big things from Essendon. The result was a 32 point drubbing at the hands of League cellar dwellers West Coast, a record breaking 12 goal bag to Eagle full forward Mark LeCras and the lowest Essendon home crowd ever at the stadium.
Bomber fans were stunned into dismal silence for all but the opening few minutes. The demoralized team walked off to jeers and chants of "have some heart Essendon".
