Bombers legend Matthew Lloyd believes Essendon should have fired John Worsfold 12-months ago as he hit back at criticism from the embattled coach.last week's listless performance against Geelong and launched a stunning takedown of where the club was at.
In response, Worsfold proclaimed Lloyd was "a commentator not a journalist...making comments as someone who has to earn his pay." After starting out the season winning five of its first seven games, Essendon has managed just two wins in their past nine matches, both against teams below them in Adelaide and Hawthorn.Off the back of another stunning loss to ladder-leaders Port Adelaide on Saturday night, Lloyd fired back at Worsfold and revealed he had received a groundswell of support from the club's frustrated fanbase.
"I've never made one comment in my life for a pay-packet, it's always trying to be fair across the board," he told Nine's Sunday Footy Show. "What I see, I go with. "He [Worsfold] also said I hadn't garnered much support with my comments. I've never had so many Essendon people get in touch to say thank you. Thank you for showing some passion, because there's no passion. There's no emotion. There's no conviction. They're at their wits' end."For him to come out there yesterday and talk about where we're at, we're a young team this and that.
