Photos posted to a social media fan page on Friday appear to reveal an AFL club’s private notes about Essendon players.
The brutal summaries of the players were left on a whiteboard, detailing their strengths and weaknesses.
While it is not clear who is responsible for the writing, it appears to form part of Brisbane’s preparation for their match against the Bombers at Marvel Stadium (at 12.35pm AEST today).

Next to former Essendon captain Zach Merrett, strengths include “kicking, licence and pressure” with a weakness listed as “selfish”.
Other notable weaknesses include midfielder Sam Durham’s perception as a “hot head”, forward Tom Edwards’ lack of physicality and emerging half-back Archie Roberts’ “workrate, body and pressure”.
The person who shared the photos said, “My kid did AusKick at the Lions’ Brighton Arena … look what I come (sic) across,” while adding a laughing emoji.

The photos were shared on the Essendon Supporters Group private Facebook page which has close to 10,000 subscribers.
Brisbane are aware of the images which have since been removed from social media.
The club regularly has community programs running at their venues, including Brighton Homes Arena, and certain environments can be accessed by the public.
All clubs have internal football operation notes that are obviously not intended for public distribution.
