Essendon vs Hawthorn Gameday Thread

[Bennett.]

Pathetic, gutless, soulless and insipid shit.

 

[AtomicBlonde]

Players don't give a F*** and the coaches need to face up to reality.

One thing we could always rely on was the fact that even if we had a bad year, we ALWAYS put up a fight. We ain't got any fighters anymore.

Imagine if Hawks were at full strength tonight???

Melks subbed on for Lonergan.

Watson is back on

It's like watching a Hawks training drill

 

[Super Gusto]

Image the scoreline right now IF Buddy was playing.

Be brave Hirdy......make the change!!

What change is that??

 

[mike14]

LOL, pity 50m penalty will give our first goal for the qtr. terrible decision there

 

[ComfyInNautica]

Really embarrassed to be an Essendon supporter tbh.

 

[smooth mover]

Never thought i'd say this but i am now starting to believe that now after the honeymoon period has finish we are actually behind where we were last year!! I hope we lose by 100 2nite & finish bottom becuase by the look of us thats how we want the season to pan out!!! DISGRACE

 

[Bennett.]

Yup, keep away from the bay haha

Yup, this will be 100+

Have to scythe through this ****ing useless team at the end of the year.

 

[Loonerty]

I'm no longer looking forward to my trip to Melbourne to see us play the Blues.

I don't want to be at a game where, if we play like this, we lose by fifteen goals and I'm surrounded by Carlton fans.

bring back knights

 

[mike14]

bring back knights

bring back passion, it's sorely lacking.

Hawks almost at 50% of inside 50s to goals.....

 

[rines]

Hird has to make the big calls on Ryder (been calling for this for weeks now), Welsh, McVeigh among others.

We are too slow and just no spirit. we are looking at the 10th straight year of absolute shit.

This club appears to have lost its way.. I thought Hird would not tolerate this crap but it appears he has lost the ear of the players at this moment.

 

[kreuze_missile]

Yup, keep away from the bay haha

Aww come plays with us

 

[mike14]

Wow, what a qtr. that's probably as bad as any Essendon qtr I can remember....

Only goal came from a very lucky free kick and I don't reckon we had more than half a dozen inside 50s.

10 goals down at the half and it could easily be 20 by the end of the game.

 

[ComfyInNautica]

**** this team. I am done with them.

This.

Neither am I... travelling from Launnie

I'm coming from Sydney...
Not going to be fun.

Hopefully the Hawks go on with it in a big way (as much as it pains me to say) and give the club, players & everybody else involved something to think about.

We've been relatively unscathed after the last few losses. It won't happen after this. Fairytale honeymoon, whatever you want to call it, OVER.

Hawks have looked really good... although when you're playing witches hats it probably isn't that difficult.

 

[Bennett.]

This mob would lose to Gold Coast at the moment

 

[Tassieboy]

Very, very slow

It will be 20goals!! Plus hird has to seperate his mateship with his close playing mates & swing the axe! Mcviegh, Welsh, Ryder are costing us!!!
If we are guna get flogged i'd rather see us blooding some young kids who are the future to bring us up to speed! My bet is that Fletch will see the last few weeks as a calling card & hang em up at years end, he probably thought we were a mile closer to finals than what we are now showing!

Also i bet Matty Knights is sitting at home drinking an expesive bottle of red that he bought with the Essendon payout money in laughter!! Pick it up bumbers!!

fwiw re: knights. Was chatting to gumbys mum the other day, she said all the young crew liked and got on well with knights. It was the board and the older players (in particular fletcher, who had a few differences) that never warmed to knights.
