What happened at the start of the year?I don't mind losing but showing something, but we didn't. I also hate winning when you play vey poorly because so often the result is all anyone remembers, exhibit A of that would be the start to our year.

What happened at the start of the year?
At first I thought you saying we blew the opportunity to draw last night and only came away with a win ...I think we've butchered a great draw,
I remember watching the 2015 grand final with a big bunch of boyzzz, and there was a moment where one of the West Coast players helped up a Hawthorn player. Might’ve even been Hodge.I liked at the 3/4 break when Dermie decided to highlight something Cox did that was not very "Essendon edge" and I was thinking, ok, he's gonna show the marking contest in which Cox was sent to the shadow realm, but instead it was when Cox helped a player up, something that every single non-dickhead in the comp does

About 10 of them started talking about how they'd just lost West Coast the premiership. I assumed they were joking until they went on about it for about 10 minutes, talking about it's NOT WHAT MEN DO or some nonsense.
It is a stupid thing to do.
Not because of anything related to edge though
eh plenty of times AMT helped players up after he absolutely bulldozed them.

I had to work but to be completely frank, I could’ve found a way to change that if I felt Essendon were worth it.32K, where the **** were you all . At wolves v Rowille???
And I quote…” Dad, we got smashed, I wish I had come with you”
I think more broadly there's no link between people who help up ending up on losing teams. you see it in every game on both sides. it's just a thing that gets highlighted when a team isn't going so well imo.Yeah,
It's still a silly thing to do.
(If you clean someone up, I have a more sympathy for it).
But in general play at a stoppage, nah, you make their team mates get them up or pick themselves up.

the other thing is, depending on situations in the game, it can be in the team's best interest to help the other player up so that the game can continue. umpires don't tend to re-set the game if someone is still on the floor in the immediate vicinity of the umpire

Surely Martin forward of center is what needs to happen all the time, he has this trick he does, that trick is... he kicks goals, he's been kicking goals since his intra club trial games, he hasn't stopped doing it, just play him in spots where his trick can be useful.
Why do you think it's stupid?It is a stupid thing to do.

Hawthorn, and all because of that one act.Who won?
Could have easily finished top 4 or at least hosted a final.I think we've butchered a great draw, in a year where our injury list was never a great obstacle. Missed opportunity to cash in on some luck in an open year.
I mean it's still in our hands, we've just made it super hard for ourselves.
yeah! we got up off the canvas OURSELVES, no one helping us upI like that we won and got up off the canvass to do it
Agree, that vision should be used to teach him. The description you've given sounds like your purpose would be to embarrass him.Davey ain’t gonna make it. This was a diabolical “effort” from stoppage that gave Freo their last shot on goal. If he can’t 1. Be set up correctly 2. Actually have a crack at this stage of the game (or any other stage) he’s just not up to it. That should be played in slow motion on the big screen in front of the team same time as he’s told he’s done in league footy for the year. Essington accepts this shit and it’s why we’re shit View attachment 2069217
Sharp observation.The point that Sharp kicked for us when he tried to switch in defence ended up being the difference lol. So Sharp technically won us the game.

That's an unfortunate one. Someone should forward it to Damo. Textbook sliding doors.The point that Sharp kicked for us when he tried to switch in defence ended up being the difference lol. So Sharp technically won us the game.
