A bit random but was doing the Sunday Aldi shop earlier and overheard 2 dudes talking Essendon. Both supporters, so as scooted passed them I chirped in we the old “ I feel ya pain fellas”. One of them just started chatting and for I bloke I’d never met before we had similar feelings. 1. It’s...

Could not agree more with this. I said to my old man earlier, that aside from a couple of games the effort and will has been pretty consistent. The blokes out there are just not very good footballers. That’s not Brads fault. Yes he could’ve been more ruthless at selection but you can’t really...

Satire? Let’s get Sheeds in the box whilst we’re at it hey!

the reason for our current plight is the same as it has been forever. Dodoro! We just don’t have enough good players on the list. When I say good, I mean good decision makers, highly skilled, can execute under pressure, have resilience. Dodoro just drafts the wrong people and then keeps the...

I think what hurts most is the Collingwood factor. When watching them as a neutral I actually like them. No real hateable I want to punch them in the face type players. But, I loath their supporter base and the sycophantic media chanting. When other teams taste the ultimate success I’m generally...

It’s really hard as a supporter to not be distraught after that…But, we simply got steam rolled by a fitter and cleaner side. I was waiting(probably more hoping) some momentum would swing back our way in the last but it just never came. We couldn’t touch it and when we did we panic handballed to...

We were outplayed most of the night and only list by 3 goals. I’ll somewhat take some positives out of that. Red man played his worst game in 2 years, never recovered from his disaster of a first 10 minutes. Heppell…ummm how do we get out of this situation?? Surely BScott is the one to do it...

The most predictable result ever. Was just always going to happen. That sums us up. I actually can’t fault the effort but execution as always is the problem. Pretty much sums up everything the club does. Tries to do the right thing but inevitably doesn’t have anyone who can execute consistently...

Nothing wrong with 17 shots at half time but we just miss too many gettable goals. Mids, forwards, utility types…they all just miss and destroy the most basic fundamental of the game.

Seriously our conversion rate is amateur and it costs us time and time again. Scoreboard pressure is king and we are truly the dunce

Fletch had an unbelievably high footy IQ. His decision making with ball in hand was impeccable. Current players only Merret I trust to generally make good decisions… oh and 9 gamer Nick Martin.

Agree he looks promising… a bit laconic but maybe just him. Would love to see a Mitch Robinson when he was with Carlton type as a defender. Just a young, raw, aggressive dude who opponents look over their shoulder for… but I guess that’s a discussion for another day. Reid def looks promising 👍🏻

Boris stiff to be out of my top ten, understand why others would have him in. His 93 prelim game was the stuff of legends!!! And for some reason I always remember a 65 meter torp goal he kicked against Fitzroy in Tassie. And of course his 8 goal game against the cats in centenary game. Freak!!!

Martin is the ONLY positive out of this season. He looks like he could be a real jet. If he makes my top ten watchable in 10 years time I think we will all be happy😬😬

I was so young in the 83-86 era I don’t remember much. I was at the 85 gf and remember daisy williams doing his thing… but the Wanganeen interview just reminded me how much I loved him when I was only 14-15.

Not a regular poster but I just watched a replay of my all time favourite bomber on Open Mike…and with all the negative stuff about our club I just felt the need to express some happy memories. I’m 44 years old and my top ten to watch in MY lifetime are as follows: Gavin Wanganeen James Hird...

Dont post a lot but often read the game day threads and other ones to get a gauge that others supporters are thinking how I am. Ive had a couple today so I wanted to give my thoughts on some topical players. Shiel - absolutely must reinvent himself as a footballer. Its a pretty awful thing to...

Fair point! Heppell was poor. Actually think he might be cooked. And yes Peter Wright is at Zac Clarke levels.

Redman must have photos of someone. Never seen a bloke make so many mistakes week after week. But true to form he will play 200 games for us...

I understand we will lose games to good sides. But I am so sick of games being over inside 20 mins. Happened tonight and against port and at least 7-8 times last year...makes for such a long four qtrs as a supporter😡

Lots of people debating the worth of Saad re picks etc...I honestly don’t care anymore... for EFC it just says so much which all supporters know. We’re not a good football club. I was so jealous watching the sides on the weekend play in those epic finals😞. Saad should go as he has well and truly...

absolutely no doubt experience is a factor! I can for sure give the guys who have played less than 30 odd games a pass. And it doesn't help(in the case of my team) when you have far more experienced players calling for or demanding the ball when they should not be. But I see weekly guys who have...

Watching my side meander through season after season of mediocrity I see the same mistakes from different players every year. Bad, no... appalling decisions with ball in hand. From a personal perspective I watched Dustin Fletcher's entire career and he was an elite decision maker(apart from many...

Pretty much every skill execution and decision our players make is faulty.

Shows exactly how far we’ve come in a year!! Nowhere

Garbage football club

What an absolute bunch of ameteurs we are. Even our veterans

Happy to say I have plenty of egg on my face when I repeatedly said Langford was no good(albeit 2 years ago). I now feel a sense of relief when he has ball in hand or is near a contest as he just keeps getting the job done. Well done Kyle!!

Hurley Needs to stop calling for the ball. He has single handedly destroyed any semblance of momentum we had
