Competitive losses yes.A loss is a good result.
West coast fans would never ever want to say they aren’t looked after by the umpires over there at burswood, basically won them the game
Maybe the Essendon social media team can release this as a wallpaper next week.. happy 150th!

No they aren't.Competitive losses yes.
But in another, more accurate way, it was us.There was no real winner tonight
We will find out tomorrow night.Exactly how bad were St Kilda last week
The system says they are.No they aren't.
So, your saying Essendon are tanking in a calculated way? That doesn't sound very good for next year, go into a new year losing a bunch of winnable games. Bye confidence.The system says they are.
We aren't in a position to play or win finals.
We need to be competitive to keep the kids interested, but lose to get the highest picks possible.
To be fair when you constantly allow the opposition to have 4 or 5v1 in their forward 50 and keep backing in your stupid press there are going to be questions asked. We simply refuse to defend and that’s on the coach.
We will find out tomorrow night.
Honestly if you had Martin kicking inside 50 instead of Shiel, Hind, Caldwell and Stringer (Merrett is great kicking i50) you’d have won the game. His teammates burn him when he’s worked to an advantageous position. He had three inside 50’s 4 shots on goal and 9 score involvements. Shiel had 8 score involvements from his 10 inside 50’s.Dominate the entire game and lose cause we can’t kick for s**t
essington at its finest
even when we’re good we are s**t
It might be an indication of how awful St Kilda are though.Essendon drank their own bath water. Laughing my arse off, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Essendon are rebuilding. Half our list is 22 and under. Wins don't mean much atm. Its about development for our time. Part of that development is not getting the kids belted every week. And the other part is continuing the rebuild - picks.So, your saying Essendon are tanking in a calculated way? That doesn't sound very good for next year, go into a new year losing a bunch of winnable games. Bye confidence.

The kid ran 15km and was second on the ground to Merrett. Must be shithouse doing all that running to be ignored.

The players are utter duds but our system is woeful. Unfortunately it needs a lot more than Rutten to be sacked
Unfortunately I agree.He may be one of the many problems but as the losses continue to mount, as the “outsider” he’s odds on to be the fall guy …
Can’t quite put my finger on what they did wrong, there’s a lot of potential there at Essendon. Hope they can figure it out.that was one of many issues. to Let a team kick 100 on you when you dominate all major stats it’s abysmal.
When the alternative is Freo then you stick with the blue and gold no matter how shit they're goingGotta hand it to Eagles fans. Bottom of the table, haven't won for months, smashed in games with a horrible percentage, and the stadium looks almost full.
