This might be an all time choke.
They beat the Pies who were top 8 at the time, and thats the only "top 8" team they have beaten all season. I don't think Dogs were in the 8 when the Bombers beat them.
That said if Essendon were putting in this sort of effort earlier they might have been closer with 2 minutes to go.

It’s actually good that Bombers kicked these late goals.
% doesn’t matter between us and them but sure does between us and the Dees.

Never in doubt Ess just aren’t very good and I hope they end up dropping out of the 8 and it was ****ing hilarious seeing all the Ess supporters I know act extremely arogrant when they were top 4 and strutting around
Keep nose diving it’s so predictable from them
What a weekend.

As it stands right now they haven't beaten a current top 8 team.
GWS will pound Richmond tomorrow and that will change but still

I don't get the widespread hatred of Essendon
Or is it their supporters?
Loving the way the marbles have fallen.
Freezing weekend with a nice red by the fire and a passionate barracking interest (for failure) in today's games.
All self serving of course.
Gooooo you good things AFL ladder.

Could be a similar situation to us in Rnd 2 versus the Crows where we lost Atkins & Duncan as late changes (injury & pending birth respectively) so in came Parfitt & Knevitt as sub with the latter only being subbed into the match extremely late in proceedings
We know that Parfitt flew over on the Thursday night having got a phone call that evening & guessing Knevitt was on the same flight, and it may be that Knevitt was only going over as a real break glass option which is what eventuated with Duncan’s late rush home - so essentially a player available to be named as sub & used if needed but a preference to not be used
So like Knevitt in rnd 2, Garcia’s selection may have been more out of necessarity due to needing a sub compared with selecting the player because you can actually see them having an impact out on the field
Maybe a certain ruckman coming to Geelong...

Pretty funny seeing what's happened to the Saints. Remember when everyone wanted Richardson out and Lyon was heralded as the saviour?
Not many people expected them to get even worse.

Yes
Carlton, Freo and Essendon all losing gives us a shot at a top 4 spot
