GameDay Thread v Gold Coast @ Carrara (7:40pm start)

[stugots]

lol @ the hysteria

1. playing away
2. pissing down, balls a slippery pig
3. didnt kick 80+ 1stQ, tsk tsk
4. playing away



tbh, just happy to watch a contest, the challenge will be if we stand up & win this thing & footys all about challenges

Well, we've had a shit quarter in every game so maybe we will be right after half time.

round 1 - last quarter was crap
Round 2 - third quarter was crap
Round 3 - second quarter was crap

I guess we should prepare for a terrible start next week.....

 

[Duckworth]

Oh Reimers is hurt. No biggie

I know there is a lot of Reimers love on this board, but I just don't see it. He does nothing. I would have subbed him out if we hadn't activated it already.

We look quite lazy out there. No forward line. This is why Davey and Reimers are not starting 22.

 

[DVD Player]

Well this is awkward

 

[FighterBomber]

We're not the team of 2011. Probably a variety of reasons for that.

There is ZERO respect for the opposition

Our conversion is crap

HURLEY IS A BACKLINE PLAYER!!!!!

 

[Bennett.]

We should petition Vlad to ensure we don't have to travel at all next year

 

[gO_bOmBeRz]

Gary Ablett is an absolute freak of nature, best player in the AFL by a country mile.

 

[table tennis]

Playing terrible, up there for a holiday, too many not willing to go in and get it. Alwyn Davey, I hope you walk home.

 

[MadBomberman]

Funny how we got smashed on Fletcher's 300th up in Queensland and now, we are embarrassing ourselves on Fletcher's 350th. Essendon and milestone games do not go together.

Seems to me that the boys are used to playing under the roof. Cannot play anywhere else.

We will get smashed next week if we play anything near what we are playing today.

 

[DVD Player]

I'll be taking bets on how many hamstrings our players pull in the first quarter against Carlton... 3+ is at $1.01, PM with credit card details.

at least Davey has chased and put some pressure on.

 

[Charliebrow 16]

Lol beaten nobody. Piss off.

You can only beat who you play against and we did that. Would you rather we have lost them? Fool.

Jesus, can't even have a crappy quarter without being shit on these days...

There's still a half to go. Settle the fack down.

Whilst you settle for mediocrity in that quarter and our side being intimidated by a bunch of kids, and admittedly stars in Ablett and Bock, I'm disappointed that we haven't shown more composure with the ball in our hands. We've been second to the ball on the majority of occasions, and if we put up this effort for Fletcher's 350th, we should be ashamed.

 

[cash]

We need a scapegoat.
I nominate monfries.

 

[beev]

Why do we this?

Arrogance from all but a few.

Stupid decision making and our skills have been terrible.

 

[rines]

We have another half but we need to settle down and play good footy or GC will steal this one.. young guys and enthusiasm can be a lethal mix.

Dempsey going off seems to have just stopped us.. similar to last year? Have we not got a single other player capable of playing attacking half back?

Not panicking just yet but we will need to put in (obviously) a better effort in the second half.

And WTF is it with our injuries? Six years in a row now and we seriously can't keep a side on the park.. third rebuild of the medical department and still this shit.. honestly need to look at it because I am sick of activating the sub in 1st qtr..

Dyson is crap.

 

[red+black]

Gary Ablett is an absolute freak of nature, best player in the AFL by a country mile.

20 touches to HT, going for 4th 40+ game on the trot, and no one else has ever had 3 in a row.

 

[Shadow Hunter]

Relax people you guys are just saving yourselves for the next two weeks, no big deal but am impressed by the GC more heart than Melbourne.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Give a f*** Essendon. You clearly didn't in that quarter.

 

[Dwight Schrute]

What happened to Reimers?

 

[gO_bOmBeRz]

Great, Doc Larkins rekons Dempsey will be out for 2-3 weeks, what is with us and soft tissue injuries ?

 

[red+black]

Funny how we got smashed on Fletcher's 300th up in Queensland and now, we are embarrassing ourselves on Fletcher's 350th. Essendon and milestone games do not go together.

Fletch's 250th was a 138 point loss to the Crows over there

 

[cash]

Its Ricky Dysons fault.

 

[Fleggy]

Trying to build muscle in pre-season has left them vulnerable.

 

[Bennett.]

I'd have Dyson over Reimers at the moment

 

[gO_bOmBeRz]

7.10.

The inaccuracy has been a problem the whole season, sooner or later it's going to cost us a game.
