What went wrong:
Essendon’s inconsistency killed them at times, and the loss to North Melbourne in the elimination final at the MCG on Saturday summed up its season.
They dominated the Kangaroos for a majority of the game, but a second half slump allowed Brad Scott’s men to run all over the top of them and concede a semi-final spot.
Losing Jobe Watson for a fair chunk of the season hurt the Bombers, and his return to the side coincided with a spike in form.
