Gameday: Round 8 - Essendon vs Sydney

[THOMO_31]

Impressed with Myers and Hislop so far even know they're not getting that much of the ball, just look like they belong. Riemers also good, besides an off day in the disposal department.

Im pretty sure Monfries has butchered every kick he's had today, discracefull. Would be a decent player for us if he improved his disposal (just like the rest of the team I guess).

Can't imagine us kicking many goals without McVeigh today, he's a mighty fine player to have. Welsh also playing a very good game, great player (Welsh>McPhee).

mcveigh is playin or u mean casue he didnt kick any. we were there abouts. but they have kicked like the last 7 goals pretty dissapointing

 

[dapto]

the odds are ridiculous for this game

maybe not so ridiculous



I heard that looked spent at half time...

Any truth to this? Are they fit enough to run out the games?

 

[Schmick]

Exactly what I said. Think about it, If he wasn't playing today, who would win the ball for us to give the rest of the team opportunities to kick goals? We'd be getting thumped by another 10 goals if he wasn't playing.

 

[OzBomber]

Are we gonna lose by 100 points? Now 91 points. We have no defense what so ever.

 

[Spikey]

Our rucks and midfield are shit. That is all.

 

[The Donners]

Well, I'm sort of glad I couldn't watch the game afterall. Starting to get a little sick of watching Essendon get pumped... I know its going to continue like that for at least this season but that doesn't make it any easier. Although I've watched every Essendon game this year (except for today's) I'm sure I speak for all Essendon supporters when I say that no matter how we're going on the field I try and get to the game and/or watch it on tv... it's getting very hard though, my blood pressure goes up!

The only way is up boys!!! (except for 3 positions down! )

 

[THOMO_31]

15.6 to 3.3 in the second half is shockin. wat is goin on down there

 

[Nuts4Bolts]

If we played this bad in 06, we would've won the wooden spoon easily.

We'll win it this year.

 

[THOMO_31]

We'll win it this year.

its looking that way with abrry hall out and kenally goin down. i seriously thought after half time we would have a chance. but 2 lose by 91 ponts after being there abouts is very disapointing.

What the hell does Barry Hall and Kenally have to do with us winning the wooden spoon?

i said it is lookin that way. then i was talkin about todays game.

Well you would have been pumped by more than over 100+ points, if the Swans were at full strength today

Reminded me of that game I saw at the SCG in 1987, 163 points i think.

 

[timbo3195]

Monfries and Laycock both had to prove themselves today, they didn't.
They better be dropped.

 

[THOMO_31]

didnt really speak very good english ha ha

 

[Dr Moose]

Is this what we've been reduced to? Nothing but an opportunity for opposing teams to boost their percentages and rest senior players.

 

[THOMO_31]

Has anyone else had enough of Monfries?

liked him very much. but this season has been a major disapoinment, he had it about 22 times 2day and about 12 clangers. really gotta work on his foot disposal

This is a worry. We know that we have been leaking in defensive and some of the midfield defensive work has been slack, but midway through the second quarter we only had three marks in the forward fifty.

Conversions up forward are most dissapointting and the easy rebounds. Guessing here as they did not show this game this week here

 

[THOMO_31]

wat makes things worse is that kepler bradley has had 7 touches and a goal in the 1st 20 mins of play

So, we're good at nothing

I forgot that we were full strength as well.

I doubt whether you saw that game. More likely just read it on the AFL website today.

Wow, i just checked that, 54SC points in 1quarter

 

[Mighty Reds]

How many did the Swans get without reply, it must have been about 12.

 

[OzBomber]

We'll win it this year.

We'll be bottom four, but I think we can escape the spoon. But at the moment if we played Melbourne we'd get smashed.

 

[The Donners]

Who was on O'Loughlin, Michael? I can't believe Playfair kicked 3 goals!

I think its official, we are the worst team in the competition with the worst list... the media, opposition supporters... unfortunately they're all right!

Is the priority pick still available?

 

[THOMO_31]

Wow, i just checked that, 54SC points in 1quarter

yep up to 9 touches and a goal

jsut inmagine we had him playin 2day we would of won by about 100
