In the latest episode of Red & Black Unfiltered, Coops and Pete dissect Essendon’s frustrating loss to Carlton — another slow start, another fightback, but still not enough.

The kids continue to shine, and while it’s a tough stretch, there’s hope this season may be remembered as the beginning of a rebirth.

As always, the boys debate who’s rising, who’s falling, and dive into the latest on Zach Reid’s new deal and Sam Draper’s contract limbo.

Plus, a cracking mailbag question sparks chaos: who wins — the injured Bombers or the fit ones?

They finish with a preview of the Geelong clash, and whether it’s time to unleash even more of the youth brigade.

Tune in and enjoy, Bomber fans!
