No Oppo Supporters General AFL discussion and other club news

[Ned Ryerson]

Hodge and lewis think since they left the league has gotten soft

To their credit, when was the last time you saw someone ram a player into a point post?

 

[OnTheRocks]

Essendon are a joke. Dropping cheat marks. Missing handballs. How the hell Mackay let Parker take basically an uncontested mark in that pack I’ll never know.

Essendon are grim

Stop picking on them, Essington are fine just the way they are.

 

[Hackysack]

Essendon win this

Essendon win this

How? They are insipid

Stringers miss sums up their whole club

The quality of the footy is matching the quality of BT’s commentary.

Campbell is a good player. Should be used in the front half more. Bullet kick.

Great kick but incredibly soft. Doesn’t win the hardball and barely touches the ball in general.

I didn't think anything could top Mac Andrew sinking the Bombers after their 1.9, but that 3rd quarter gave it a good shake.

I really hope they ditch this fossil next year if there is to be a shake up as is being mooted

I will put my hand up as being disappointed when McKay picked the Bombers last year.

This is the first quarter of Essendon football I have watched since round 1 but I have seen him miss 3 2m handballs already. Not sure if this is the norm or just Sydney pressure but dear God we dodged a bullet there

My first thought too but Sam and MM recruited for that which sits below the shoulders (Mass, Ginni, Chol, Meek) and then worked on above the shoulders. Once McKay donned the sash, ATS went bye-byes and BTS went with it.

Is Laverde the worst player playing regular senior football?

 

[LunchboxLegend]

lol It’s impossible to overstate how putrid Essendon is.

I love it.

I do like hodge and lewis commentry, especially calling out umps for missing calls.. that 50 that wasnt called in the pies swans game

 

[moginie]

Buckley said in the preview that the scum had improved from last season. It must be microscopic. They're hot garbage.

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

We beat the Tigers comfortably and the Eagles beat the undermanned Blues we virtually sew up a top 8 spot with a round to go.

amardi looks like sydney tried to clone buddy, there was an accident at the lab

 

[theiaofseed]

The opening few seconds gave me a good laugh.

Not having a go because no one would voluntarily have watched Norf 2023, but this skill level is not an anomaly

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

At least another 12 months without the Bummers winning a final. How good

 

[KermitJagger]

Sydney still have the ability to score in bunches when required, but they're incredibly reliant on either Heeney or Warner to spark it. They're very gettable if they can't get one or both of those guys firing.

This is one of the reasons why I'm happy the Hawks don't have one guy we're relying on. Day seems to be a guy we need in for structure, but given that we should have beaten GWS in spite of him being tagged it doesn't seem like we need him to fire up at all.

This is one of those games you watch and it's hard to see either team as a genuine flag threat.

 

[QuietB]

There are very few Essendon players out there I’d want at Hawthorn. Pea hearts the lot of them

 

[DogDaySonny]

I was in a New York City bar watching in frustration as the Swans utterly smashed us earlier this year. Where has that Sydney team gone? Has anyone noticed some space seeds drifting down?

 

[KermitJagger]

On the flip side watching us vs the Giants was very much finals-like.

 

[H00t]

Is Laverde the worst player playing regular senior football?

If you excluded the players for Norf and Tigs he’d go fairly close.
