Hawks had more scoring shots, lucky to win that game

Agree. Hawks were very inaccurate... at the same time, * were unusually accurate as well - not too many games where they'll kick 17.5 from 22 scoring shots.

The most worrying thing for them is they're still a pack of downhill skiers, shown little to no improvement on their defensive game. They've conceded 28 scoring shots against the Hawks (who only managed to get 13 against the Demons) and 36 against the Swans...

They'll finish between 9th-13th.

What a pack of wanna bes!

They now are promoting the *edge!!!

Which is just trying to rough up your opponent with ‘unsociable’ footy. Giving them a harder ‘edge’.

Unsociable footy is a euphemism for trying to get away with dog acts on the field to put your opponent off their game.

As if that’s a new idea that they’ve come up with. It’s just telling the competition “ look, we haven’t got the skills or tactical ability to win but we are trying to be hard to play against, here’s some knuckle”.

Geez the culture of this club is shit top to bottom, never change you bunch of cheating Mensa graduates!

Gotta walk the talk, the edge….wow big deal get thumped by 5 goals and your main forward gets reported..dumb stupid football club

 

[Love the Drake]

The commentary of this game was next level cringe. The way they hyped up ‘the inspirational Essendon captain’ was beyond ridiculous.

Merrett tackles - “what an inspirational captain this young man is”

Merrett kicks a goal - “he’s lifting this football team on his shoulders”.

Merrett tackles again - “this is one unbelievable game from a captain who is willing his team to a famous victory” (they were three goals down).

They also brought out the “brave” word.

Luke Darcy the imbecile absolutely barracking for them at one stage.

Was really weird…

Zach Merrett is very inspirational. Here is a bloke that signed a 6 year contract with * when he could have just gone to a good club as an FA and played finals. He has inspired a generation of players not to do the same thing.

I don’t care what anyone says about Collingwood, in my view this mob are the most ordinary lot in the competition by a long way.

If the AFL is serious, they will do whatever they can to eradicate this style of throwback football (that’s what it is) that they are attempting to dish up.

Meanwhile, their media sycophants like Robbo are trying to say about how wonderful it is to see them doing this off the ball stuff because they’ve been nice for too long. Those of us who grew up watching footy in the 1980s know that dog acts are in the dna of this football club.

I am keeping a close eye. Round 13 will come around in no time. And they will put targets on the back of our boys. We had better be ready for it.

What a disgrace it is to have these campaigners in our competition that they should of been banished after the injecting room saga..

As predicted, the media apologists are out in force. Sam Landsberger’s first like for today is what he calls the “nasty bombers”

I prefer the "brave bombers" tbh - alliteration always wins out

Swans fume after 'Essendon edge' leads to heated scenes

John Longmire wasn't happy after losing defender Harry Cunningham following a big collision with Peter Wright

There's "physical edge" and there's sniping.

 

[JustaBattler]

Scott was always going to try and get more aggro into them - that is his #1 wood and signature style since he was a sniping back pocket player at Brisbane and all teh way through his years at Norfs- defending snipers like Ziebell for playing with a hard edge.

It'll be fascinating to hear Slobbo's take on the Wright incident on 360 tomorrow night after his half witted diatribe from the Plowman case a few years back.

 

[Its an amigo!]

Its the same script ...

Knowing that they cannot match the best teams on talent and ability, the coach comes up with a game plan that throws caution to the wind and comes up with a catchy phrase, Bazeball Essendon Edge. Pretending that this is some kind of genius new game plan that no-one had ever thought up before, however, these are tactics that have been used since the beginning of time. The better teams are able to use these tactics at times but in more controlled ways, however what the England Cricket team Essendon Football Club does is really an unskilled version of slogging sniping. The English media Channel 7 commentary team rave about the teams tactics thinking that they are genius. When the tactics of the team invariably fails, they suggest that the team at least had a moral victory were brave in their defeat, and at least that they played in a style that they should be proud of, despite losing.

The club is a soulless entity, willing to sacrifice its reputation, integrity, and any sniff of morality to beat the competition by whatever it takes!!!

Never forget the drug cheating that was instigated on the back of our club thrashing them in the previous years finals!!!

Today’s version is to now play with an *Edge (TM) to make up for the numerous inadequacies of the list and game plan.

I know they absolutely despise us but don’t they also have major issues with North, pies, hawks, brissy and now Sydney!!!!

Surely these pricks are the most disliked club in the comp!!!

I do hope that the term *Edge(TM) becomes popular around here. You’ve done brilliantly!

It’s all in the head nodding by his co-host. “Oh wow. More words are coming out. Will he stop? No? Not yet?” * glances down at his watch *
