Yicks!

 

[Jobe Watson]

What has Stringer ever achieved in his career to act like a superstar? Acting all tough swinging punches.

He's won more flags than Freo.

 

[HTPunter]

2017 draft is very disappointing so far. Rayner, Dow, LDU struggling to get going, Brayshaw can't kick.

 

[mxett]

Essendon completely outclassed in the air. Really need some of our tall options back

 

[McOrist]

Athletes fist bumping instead of shaking hands is the dumbest thing ever, do they forget they've spent the last couple of hours tackle, bumping, holding and touching each other?

Blokes squirting their water bottles on each other after the game is probably not a good idea either.

Something to do with context and setting a good example. Remind me of how women don't mind wearing almost non-existent bikinis at the beach but don't want people to see them in their underwear.

 

[MadMundy]

Overall didn't get the win, we have a lot to work on but there are positives to take away from the game. Sturt is looking to be a good kid and should get the Rising Star Nom unless someone has a blinder, Lobb is an elite player and will wanna push AA selection, Fyfe and Walters stepping up when it's needed. Few players like Cox, Brayshaw and Banfield need a kick up thr arse.

it's about setting an example given they are watched by hundreds of thousands of people where the message of not shaking hands is still getting through

 

[Andronicus]

Bombers dodged a bullet.

Nice choice of words when people are being shot every single day all over the world.

 

[raffrox]

It was our game to lose even with all our players out.

Bombers are going to get destroyed by teams that can hit a target and actually start the game with some kind of intensity.

Bogan is as bogan does

 

[bungalow_bill]

Hahah Brayshaw so bad

To think the Lions were considering him with pick 1 instead of Rayner

 

[Darcy 2 Fyfe]

Essendon completely outclassed in the air. Really need some of our tall options back

We didn't have our 2 key backs Hamling and Pearce either.

Premiership and AA not enough?

 

[SherbertLemon]

Hurley pretty much gave away 3 goals. Surprised we weren’t punished more vs freo’s height

 

[Vindicater]

Might as well give us the cup now.

 

[mxett]

We didn't have our 2 key backs Hamling and Pearce either.

we both had outs but ours really hamstring our talls. Hooker, Daniher, McKernan and Stewart are our only real options up forward

 

[HarryZLA]

What an absolute choke job by Brayshaw lmao

 

[bungalow_bill]

Yeah it's a bizarre rule before and after a full contact sport

 

[bungalow_bill]

...you mean apart from Premiership Medallion?

A lot of spuds with one of those

 

[masai]

A lot of spuds with one of those

Aaron Keating >>>>>>>> Bob Skelton.

[Stopher]

Fyfe was reminded of that the moment it went through the sticks.

No need to act like an absolute flog about it when you're stinking it up yourself. You could actually see Fyfe laughing at him for it and for good reason.

Big, big flog behaviour.

How's young Sicily tracking for you blokes? I'm hearing good things.

 

[MowShow]

Another flog doesn't make Stringer less of one.

I think you have it worse than us, but ours has basically killed off our forward line plus our backup options. This negated our dominance around the ground in the first 3 quarters.
