AFL:'Doesn't faze me': Bombers coach dismisses scrutiny

Brad Scott isn't interested in external concerns over his future as Essendon coach ahead of a crunch clash with Richmond in the annual 'Dreamtime At The G' feature match.

The Bombers (1-9) are under intense scrutiny after a horror first half against Fremantle last week, and are desperate to end a five-match losing streak when they meet the last-placed Tigers on Friday night.

A large crowd is expected as the sides celebrate Sir Doug Nicholls Indigenous Round with their showpiece event.

Matthew Lloyd turned up the heat on Essendon this week when he said a lack of effort from senior players had left his former club in "crisis".

The goal-kicking legend also said he would "hate to think what happens" in terms of Scott's tenure if the Bombers were to lose to Richmond.
