Autopsy AFL 2022 Round 1 - Cats v Bombers Sat March 19th 2:10pm AEDT (MCG)

[CoastersFlag No.5]

Essendon witches hats at the moment.

 

[Memphis]

Genuinely thought they’d be strong this year. They’ll towel up the Roos though no doubt

Most likely, but you'd like your chances on your boys against them though.

 

[SandyToes]

Oh dear.Essendon defenders just standing still watching the ball sail over their heads then abusing their team mates further up the ground.That's really bad
As JK Snr said"Do Something.Don't just stand there"

 

[Rod Stroker]

Tonne please

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Goes to show how good Stringer was last year. He dragged this side to a final.

 

[Magma]

to turn up this uncompetitive round 1 is unforgivable stuff really

 

[Memphis]

Essendon witches hats at the moment.

Shocking from the bombers, just out there running around.

 

[Boppo]

Fair to say that preparation for round 1 was lax at Windy Hill.

 

[Chaisa]

This is just training drill stuff. Pathetic from Essendon.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Fair to say that preparation for round 1 was lax at Windy Hill.

Even worse out at The Hangar

 

[beema limapep]

Can't recall a worse round 1 performance. Doesn't even look like they are trying.

 

[Blues_Man]

They have a defender as a coach, and yet their defensive structure is horrible ..almost as bad as Carlton's under Teague

 

[Sir_Loin]

Fair to say that preparation for round 1 was lax at Windy Hill.

Maybe that was the problem. Kept turning up to the wrong training facility

 

[mrmonkey]

Nope. You're allowed to keep running if you don't go to man the mark

Not into the protected 5m zone. Your thinking it was Isaac Smith it was the other player.

 

[Tas]

Goes to show how good Stringer was last year. He dragged this side to a final.

I think the problem is around the midfield.

 

[Duckimus Prime]

Oh dear.Essendon defenders just standing still watching the ball sail over their heads then abusing their team mates further up the ground.That's really bad
As JK Snr said"Do Something.Don't just stand there"

His team lost by even more after he said that.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Just reinforces that they over achieved last year, got to finals with double up games against the bottom teams.

 

[Hippster]

I think Adrian DUDoro needs to be given a contact extension. He knows how to recruit.

 

[Sir_Loin]

They have a defender as a coach, and yet their defensive structure is horrible ..almost as bad as Carlton's under Teague

And they’ve got Caracella. Something tells me it’s not the coaches

 

[Antzzz]

Geez wouldn’t we like Stengel back

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

Shocking from the bombers, just out there running around.

Not strong enough in the contest so they swarm the contest and get ripped on the outside. Dangerfield is doing what he wants.

 

[Bluelegs]

Can't recall a worse round 1 performance. Doesn't even look like they are trying.

Melbourne 2013 was pretty bad.

 

[Hoops]

2E's dropped heaps

 

[Foucault1989]

We got Hewett and Cerra in the off season. Given Essendon's midfield woes how did you not try and get one of them?

 

[gordo2016]

Nothing worse than getting pumped in Round 1.
