Jono and Ian look into the great escape against the Eagles and what went wrong in defending defensive transition. They do a deep dive into Essendon's kicks inside 50, the effectiveness of midfielders at generating scores and look at what options are available with Andrew Phillips announcing his retirement. They then turn their attention to a rejuvenated North Melbourne and the dangers they pose in this week's matchup.
