Essendon coach Brad Scott has admitted that his conversation with beloved champion Dyson Heppell - telling the former skipper that he was out of the team - was one of the toughest he has ever had in his time in football. Heppell and tall forward Peter Wright were both axed for the match against the Crows on the weekend, and it is unclear if the pair will come straight back in to the team, despite Friday’s nail-biting loss.
But on Wednesday he gave an in-depth analysis of how the club had handled the most disappointing loss of his tenure at Tullamarine. “The really unfortunate reality for us is that we we experienced a gutting loss that I wouldn’t wish upon our club, but as a coach, somewhat perversely, it’s the best opportunity to get better and to learn your lessons,” Scott said.
