Game Day Elimination Final 2: Sydney v Essendon, SCG, Saturday 9th September, 2017, 4.20pm

[IHurley]

Can you do your fellow Victorians a favour.....and go old-school Roger Merrett on a few Sydney blokes in the last quarter?

They haven't wanted to break a sweat for their own club I don't think they'll be doing it for yours.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Too soft across the ground.

put up a fight?

 

[essendon]

Not a true reflection of our year which is why this is disappointing.....

 

[MarkG]

Does anywhere track the amount of times a team kicks into the man on the mark?

And that's our captain setting the example for the rest.

 

[Colonelmot]

I reckon Goddard has gone alright.

 

[essendon]

Jones looks like a serial killer

More like a dickhead

 

[Alfred E Neuman]

Eveyone is forgetting their troubles with a big bowl of strawberry ice cream

Yeah, mine's hydroponic, but whatevs.

 

[quotemokc]

I reckon Goddard has gone alright.

hes playing loose off half back

 

[essendon]

We should have went with another tall and didn't......all year we have played with 3 tall forwards......why go with two in a final.......bad selection imo

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Good that the positives are mostly young blokes; Daniher, Parish, McGrath, Gleeson, Merrett.

 

[CBombers17]

What does Colyer add to the team?

Good guy to have around the club, generous gifter and offers to help blokes move without having to be asked.

This is the third time in 2017, that EFC have been killed in the air - It's an area worthy of further discussion.

 

[Alfred E Neuman]

Onwards and upwards. B+ season. Lots to look forward to.

 

[Runk]

Don't try and pin this on Goddard or Heppell. That's some bullshit. The swans have been elite and that's that. The pressure and contest is better than anyone's in the league right now. Calm your farms and remember how far we've come.

 

[essendon]

TBell very very disappointing playing like a big girl......

 

[IHurley]

Drafting tips. Don't pick them up unless they can pick a ball up. I don't think I've ever seen a bigger discrepancy between ball handling skills.

yep, none of our midfielders are that good in the air aside from Heppell

Sounds like an AFL version of me

Picks and chooses?

 

[Red Black and Blue]

TBC has been rubbish, rarely beats the blokes he should.

 

[Mercuri Rising]

it's wild that cameron ling was ever considered as a prospective senior coach

 

[fishardansin]

As bad as it has been today folks if you swap Watson and Kelly for high quality contested mids, have Hooker at FF, defend their transition better, show more composure with the ball and match the intensity of the first quarter and we're in the contest.

All but the first one are easy fixes. I hope we don't give away our draft position to go for an easy fix in the midfield. We need to build internally and go to the draft again this year. Go to the draft again next year and potentially get a FA next year.

This. I mean, him giving away frees in the ruck contest have really put us on the back foot. Very frustrating

Langford is a midfielder
