That loopy kick into 50 which somehow ended in a Snelling goal illustrates how useless and selfish he is. Burned Tippa to kick it to a 3on1 for Freo.
What does he bring to make us a better side?
Absolutely taking the club for a ride, somethings at Essendon never change..
I was at training on Friday.
Francis walked off with about 30minutes to go pointing to his hamstring.
Typical Essendon injury luck because he was the most impressive player during the session by far..
Reading between the lines, he's ****ed.
Started running and recently and felt the pain again despite 2 years of rehab and surgery.
It's all good though, because NOW our highest paid player will start taking his recovery seriously i.e. getting in to the club early etc.
If you ever needed...
Not true at all.
Watch his interview on the website, he himself mentions only playing the last couple of seasons on the wing.
I definitely remember him starting as a half back/tall defender, then transitioning over to the wing - like most of our mids have done ineffectively in recent times..
Essendon has been soft for a decade.
We need to bring in players who possess attributes such as hardness and leadership from the draft and state leagues.
This will compliment our core group of players who to put it politely, drop their heads when things go against them (watch the first quarter...
Looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane.
I love Disco, but this has list clogger all over it.
Another defender unable to find a regular spot in the back 6 who we will 'successfully' transform into an ineffective midfielder.
This would be soo counterintuitive given our list demographic and the strategy Disco has put in place to get us to this point.
Having teenagers on the field learning to play key roles, while the rest of the list is out to win each game is the almost like assembling a half pregnant list.
Whether...
We simply must make him see out the contract and cannot relent on our hard stance - **** what every expert says.
There is not one scenario in which JD leaves and our theoretical final winning season window remains open.
Given our toxic flavour at present, no players capable of replacing Daniher...
I hope it didn't.
We should be far more pessimistic about our current predicament than we ever were between 2012-16.
The Saga i can accept retrospectively. It was an unprecedented situation which was ultimately influenced by variables completely out of EFC's control.
This current predicament is...
Sick of hearing about how his signature is the missing piece.
We listened the same thing last year when Shiel signed, then the same again when Saad/Stringer/Smith signed the year before that.
We've been so fundamentally conditioned to accept mediocrity, that we believe any change, no matter it's...
Once he leaves for a cut price, put a line through 2020..
Then we are left with ageing KPPs like Hooker/Hurley to work with and the inevitable rebuild starts again..
The mismanagement of this club from all angles is astounding.
Anyone who thinks this club is going places is delusional..
Once Fanta and JD leave, we will be further away from a premiership than the Gold Coast.
How can a club lure 4 gun recruits then fall off the side of the cliff with foundation players wanting out..
Sack everyone, start again - Essendon is completely ****ed and will be for the next 10 years...
Please be true.. I would celebrate like we've made the finals (i've forgotten what winning a final feels like)..
I would even buy a bobsled and push him down the tallest hill in the Gold Coast to make him feel at home immediately.
To put it into perspective, Richmond wouldn't beat WC in Perth.
But to lose exactly the way everyone expected us to without giving a yelp is embarrassing.
It was as if the game was played to a script. We kicked it long and high into our forward line for them to intercept and then tried to play...
My dream is for us to harness emotion tonight and come out with a unique plan to beat these blokes. One thing is for certain, our tried and tested slingshot football will fall over under pressure which is exactly what finals footy is.
The reality will be that EFC will huff and puff in the first...
With the season on the line, any danger of some forward pressure for the first time in a month?
If Freo walk the ball out of a kick out, the forward coach should be removed from the box mid game..
The health of our list is at crisis point under Justin Crow.
We are now limping to the finish line and with so many unavailable, we will be starting as outsiders in all of our remaining 3 games.
This is really going to impact whether or not we make finals and if we do, being competitive when...
Completely inept forward line, both conversion wise and also pressure wise.
Make no mistake, Port walked it out all day.
Stringer's first half was millionaire football, Fanta applied no pressure, Hooker was completely off etc etc.
Pathetic display which we always produce when we get ahead of...
What a ****ing fraud footballer. Great 3rd quarter, 2 selfish turn over inside 50s leading to port goals from our most experienced player.
Get him out to the Gold Coast while he still tricks people into thinking he's a player..
Where was he Sunday (again)?
Host of leaders and experienced players out and he was simply loitering on the outside all night looking for a cheap kick.
Other than for half of 2016, he's a fraud who has coaxed us into thinking he's a player since winning the medal on ANZAC day 2013.
Should be a...
Shame he's usually the one on the end of a classic EFC kick over his head most of the time, as he's in the conversation for the best inside 50kick in the AFL.
I want to be positive, but we have little chance of winning tonight given the outs and the fact that it is an away game.
Tonight is a game is where i'd love a coach who has the capability to harness emotion to be coaching us, i.e. Beveridge or Dimma.
We are undermanned and out gunned, so it's...
Hurley's injury is unlucky, nothing you can do to stop contact injuries..
The ones that are concerning are the reoccurring injuries which continue to plague us.
Almost every player who has had a historical injury condition has experienced a reoccurrence of that injury under Crow's watch.
Off...
There is no in-between with Aaron.
He's either wining the contested football and exiting the contest with beautiful disposal, or 15m off his man watching him kick an easy goal.
I would be targeting him massively if i were the opposition in the coming weeks.
His discipline and focus just isn't...
Sorry to be negative, but people thinking we are in form are mistaken.
We've played a combined 20minutes of strong footy over 3 weeks, lost most of the key indicators stats wise and somehow won twice.
Those 20minutes of good footy have come when we've moved AWAY from our game plan by throwing...
