Essendon vs Hawthorn Gameday Thread

[Tassieboy]

It it just a lack of work ethic causing the little pressure, or is it just that we're too slow?

 

[Strike Swiftly]

I just left at half time. First time I have ever left a game early. Please don't flame me, but I'd rather wash my hair than watch this shit.

What a ****ing joke of a performance.

Watching the first qtr on tv and the writing is on the wall.

Defense let every entry turn in to a goal.

Midfielders kick the ball long in to a crowded forward line to spare defenders.

Midfield has no run. Forwards no clue and defenders no hope.

we're only 10 goals down....

Wont flame but will say thats ordinary.

 

[Bomber32]

I was hoping we'd left this kind of performance behind with Matthew Knights.

Let's face facts. We are shit and we will continue to be shit until we get rid of the same old deadwood who let us down time and time again.

Looks like a bit of both.

We are getting lead to almost every contest and when the ball is in dispute Hawthorn is just moving it on far to easily, with little to no pressure.

Hird needs to swing the axe at the end of tonight.

Why? People go to the footy to be entertained, if it's not entertaining, go and find something that is.

There's only so many hours in a day....

Can umpires be suspended for talking back to players? Chamberlin is a ****wit

 

[Bennett.]

Perfect start to the second half!!

 

[table tennis]

So many dumb footballers

 

[Strike Swiftly]

That's right. I can watch essendon lose, playing with heart and effort. Hence I left. I have never left a game early before. I have been going to the Footy week in week out for 20 years. Worst effort I have seen from the red and black. Would rather do anything than watch that performance against hawthorn!

By the way, Miley is on next door. Now that's entertainment! Lol

Need someone to vent at

I'm tired of sticking up for paddy too. Bronx cheers were justified.

Bingo. I will quite happily watch a loss where the team plays with heart and passion, the '98 finals loss to North is still a favorite game of mine because of what the team showed that night.

efforts like tonight on the other hand....... I'm willing to bet Hird has no idea where to go from here....

It'll be addressed. Whether it's in the public domain I dunno know but the last thing the umps as a group want is one ump acting like that.

Well yes, but umpires shouldn't speak to players like that, there's no need and it's belittling, play ground crap. Would bet that if the comments were made to an umpire and 50m penalty and fine/suspension would have been forth coming.

Umpiring has been good tonight, but there is no need for that crap.

 

[Big Red is back]

Why does hird play three rucks if knights did this you would call for his head.

 

[Bennett.]

what happened to the mighty Bombers? Surey Ryder must be trade bait?

Isn't it obvious?
We didn't cheat for draft picks.








Wish we had have though...

 

[Phone]

Thanks for that kick Welsh - you almost killed Melksham.

 

[Menza]

A well umpired game is one when you don't know the umpires are out there. Ray Chamberlin has chucked that out the door. Obviously he is more important than the players.

 

[Bennett.]

Problem is that if we dropped everyone who deserved it after tonight, we'd field about 7 players next week.
