Opinion Non-Crows AFL 10

[TubbsFarquhar]

Essendon just fall into a heap when June arrives.

Essendon just fall into a heap when June arrives.

They're not playing terribly 8 scoring shots to 11. Just can't get it done like the Crows atm.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Though we did beat Carlton

 

[MarcusP2]

Though we did beat Carlton

Will require similar miraculous comeback.

 

[Moonwatcher]

THE PACKAGE

 

[Moonwatcher]

6 minutes just claw one goal back and it's 2 goals a quarter to win.

 

[ams4crows]

It will be hella funny when Essendon make the finals but still don't win a final, got Straight sets or finish 5th and lose to 8th written all over them

 

[Moonwatcher]

RIP

Essington isn't winning lil bro.

How long since they won a final?

 

[Brasher]

Essendon's defense is horrific.

 

[ams4crows]

How long since they won a final?

2003 elimination final against Freo I believe

[BigBoSS_Riot]

It was the 2004 Elimination Final against Melbourne.

 

[DJ75]

TBF they fill the MCG

So? Is it a league that values competition or a league that values attendance?
Don’t worry, I know the answer.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Essendon's defense is horrific.

They've conceded 12 scoring shots from 17 inside 50s. Says it all.

 

[Harris1991]

Three games decided by umpiring decisions in the 11th hour that favored the Vic club. Just another week in the VFL.

I know we have cracks at our recruiting team (deservedly so), but Essendon’s use of first rounders is pretty ordinary:

I’d wager, our firsts are worse !

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Only North, Saints and Bulldogs don’t have a marquee game.

So these are the 3 clubs the AFL should kill off, bring in Tassie & back to 16 teams.

30 games home & away.

 

[rocket18]

I’d wager, our firsts are worse !

You can't have that one, but you can have 'our coach is worse than theirs'.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Essendon's attack reminds me too much of Adelaide

 

[FR0GGY]

Can we get us a deKonning

Pick 33 and third rounder this year
