AFL Autopsy RND 19: Beaten by the Crom

[Jobe Watson]

Don't think there's been a single worse substitution all year. Perkins into the midfield for the final 10 minutes cost us. If he isn't playing VFL next week I'm done.

They lost 2 key defenders and Dawson didn't play the last quarter.... and we still can't win.

Pathetic loss. That's our season done. Another wasted year.

in the midfield over Perkins, he might actually defend his man

 

[Learntopray]

It's not like we didn't already know it, but this club has the softest mentality in the AFL.
The going gets tough and we fold every single bloody time.
Its pathetic.
That second quarter fumble fest was the most embarrassing period of football ive witnessed in a long time.
And that final few minutes just compounds it.
Draper,Langford and Caddys misses.
McGrath kicking it long to a 1 on 1 Menzie instead of a contest, and then losing his man for the nteenth time this evening.
Perkins coming on, straight into the centre to get surprise suprise, found out again.
Why do we have to putup with such mediocrity and poor mental.

 

[mike14]

** this team. ** this pathetic, disgusting, gutless, idiotic, piece of rancid shit team.

I give you props for still being able to muster the effort and care for a response like this

 

[MightyDon]

MCGrath Hep Stringer time to move on

 

[Mootsy]

Langers miss & Caddy's brain fade lost that one.

Those 2 miss-kicks and Draper's miss in front.

Needed a bit more from Stringer.

Hind should have been playing/sub.

 

[boncer34]

They're 14th, lost 2 KPD players during the game, on our home deck.........

 

[The Devils Advocate]

I just want to be happy.

 

[rumply]

Can't get out of our own way, shitful stuff

 

[swindle]

They're 14th, lost 2 KPD players during the game, on our home deck.........

Also lost their best player for almost all of the 4th quarter

 

[Goat Hird]

Both sides evenly matched, Adelaide is 14th, we're around that too tbh

 

[doug85]

We could very well finish 13th.

Get Kako and another decent young player. Not much else to salvage from this dumpster fire of a season.

 

[mike14]

Apparently there some Essnedon players coming down to our club's U12 training next week. Not really sure we want them teaching Juniors anything...

 

[ghostdog]

That was a Ben Hobbs game.

 

[brutus76]

To copy the first two lines of the old song:

“The Same Old Essendon we used to be,
The same old Essendon we are you see!"

PI55WEAK since 2000

 

[Happyskeret]

I’m starting to think the percentage ladder is spot on. That would put us at 14th.

 

[Jobe Watson]

Can Goldstein just retire immediately please.

 

[mike ross]

Much deserved and accurately shows where we are at.

 

[Charliebrow 16]

I’m not going to bash any of the players, but I’m just exhausted supporting this team.

 

[bommer16]

Meh another wkend ruined
Ess gotta way to go
Loved that 3rd qtr special tho

 

[Groundhog Day]

That was a Ben Hobbs game.

For the second week in a row.

 

[NoWuckingFurries]

Got to realise we're a shit team. Trim the fat like menzies. Trade players like Perkins and Draper because their trade value is > than their actual value.

 

[Mootsy]

That was a Ben Hobbs game.

Hind too.

 

[YEMOC NAYR]

We get what we deserve.

We are a bottom 6 football side. The season doesn't end in round 10.

 

[BomberFan355]

And they rested Walker
