AFL: Former Saints great Leigh Montagna believes Bombers coach Brad Scott is shielding his side from pressure, by not publicly talking about making Finals.
Saints legend Leigh Montagna has questioned why it took for the Bombers’ season to be hanging by a thread to discover the ‘Essendon edge’ against Fremantle.
“They were embarrassed all week in the media ... by all reports Brad Scott looked them in the eye and put those hard questions to a few of them and embarrassed them in the team meeting about their effort and contest. “Jake Stringer laid a career-high 10 tackles. Why now? Why do it this week when you knew all the attention was on Essendon?“I thought it was sensational for them to get the win and full credit. But you have to ask yourself why can’t they have done this for the last eight weeks?
