Hey all.
Pretty clear we'll still want Joe next year if he'll have us.
This quote in our presser certainly indicates that.
"It is disappointing but we thank Essendon for the way they have handled it, we move on and revisit it in twelve months."
This has a Spida Everitt feel about it. Missed...
First to 80 wins a again. Bleh.
Umpiring wasn't an issue for me. There were atrocious decisions both ways. The difference in the cheap frees given away in front of goals was that they kicked their goals and we fluffed them.
That' just experience.
If someone told me walking to the ground that...
One of the best readers of a ball in flight I've seen in our backline. Just a phenomenal contributor week in week out.
Agree with the AA posts above. A joke this guy never got a nod.
I mainly try to separate people from their work. I find that's the best way to enjoy art without having to worry about the individuals responsible.
Truth is truth, no matter how horrid the person who gives it to you may be.
But yeah. With Rian it's hard because he spends every waking hour...
OS at the mo. Just watched the Ess highlights. Seems everything positive is related to the youngest players, which is a positive.
How is Sinkers travelling? Goldy will be a hard ask.
Just like Brissie after the dynasty. An engineered hard landing and a rope ladder to climb that isn't actually secured and just drops on our heads, hey?
Well at least one of our teams might stick it up 'em this year.
Huzzah! Finally we are as pissweak as this thread promised we'd be...12 years ago.
Well...we're in a fight to the death for a #1 or so pick now. Please don't stand in our way. :p
Pressures off now. It's the back end of 2002 for me. Let's give the players a chance to shine, and some leeway to fail trying.
I back the club to turn things around. We likely need this drop to reset our list and build for a genuine tilt down the track.
I just want the shackles to come off a...
Bike: serious question, gents. I have no wheels and cannot move in any direction. Am I really the best person to coach our half back line's rebound game?
Would have been funnier if the goblets contained poison, and the vid ended with Elmo's cackling evil laughter as they fell off their chairs. :$
(Sigh)
It doesn't matter if we win the footy right now. Contested stats. Clearances. Inside 50's. Possessions. They all belie the truth. The truth...
We're a bottom 4 side. The key indicator for me is the lack of consistency. We can dominate a quarter. But cannot sustain momentum for the duration of a game.
We also have an inability to cope with opposition adjustments. Another key indicator.
They dismantled our midfield by simply changing a...
Gawn will be another proposition altogether, but very happy with Sinkers' game.
Watching the game again, this team could really lift if we got even a little more marking value from our talls. They're serviceable. But if those boys clunked a few more between them every game we'd be an order of...
Damn. The symmetry of two 0-3 teams meeting next Thursday is denied us all.
Oh well :p
Perplexing game. We smashed them but failed to kick 100pts. Again.
True.
We're yet to hear an official explanation as to why Sydney miraculously is the only team which has a negative free kick count at home.
I remember those two 50m penalties - the first incredibly harsh, the second definitely there. But what amazed me was the obstinence of the presiding ump...
Thanks BloodySwan I needed that :thumbsu:
Looking forward to this game.
This fixture is usually the early season shock loss we never saw coming.
Hah! Suffer in your Jocks, Bluebaggers! Your sneaky tactics of actually bothering to turn up to play won't fool us this time. :p
It was fascinating watching us Mark the ball then turn 90 degrees away from goal and look to kick short to the fences.
It's as if we're finally rolling out a response to the Hawthorn zonal tactics that destroyed our 2012 system...but 7 years too late.
Oh umps can cruel your game. But in 2016 we regularly smashed out 100pt games and were a genuine scoring threat from any area of the ground.
It took absolute corruption and 30+ awful decisions/non-decisions to turn that team into a runners up. And even under that intense pressure of having 17...
The umps can't cost you a game if you produce enough chances to overcome the set backs of a rough free kick count, or a missed opportunity here and there.
Bald facts are:
We kicked 1 goal in 2 qtrs last week.
We kicked 1 goal in 2 qtrs this week.
We failed to kick 80 pts both weeks.
Last...
