AFL Autopsy RND 22: Loss

[FlyingV]

Its subtle

Its the vibe

 

[Blind Turn]

Halfway through the last qtr I told my work colleague that we will keep getting points until we’re 5 points up and then we’ll heartbreakingly lose by one point to a goal after the siren. As if that’s not fully symptomatic of the ptsd that this ****ing club induces on its supporters and the predictable flakiness of the footballers who wear a once proud gurnsey…. They don’t deserve us as supporters at this point.

Fellow posters.
I almost died in January from something that was a freak physical occurrence.
Football is terrific but it should be a small facet of a rich life.
Don’t be too bummed out- we currently support a rich underperforming club.
I think the bombers have improved a bit this year and we will see how effective and ruthless Scott will be in conjunction with Matt Rosa.
If they are fair dinkum ensure Adrian goes and perhaps get kinnear beatson in to mentor Rosa.
He has overseen premierships at Brisbane and Sydney.
Have a good night everyone.
I might compile my top 50 tomorrow for anyone who is interested.
Perhaps we can pick a few beauties in the draft.

Yes. Bring in Beatson. F*** off Dodoro altogether.

Depressing when trying to digest the game I cant pinpoint too many positives..

Caddy for his 3 goals was good. Cant think of any others that made me really sit up and take notice

Now we can lose the last two and get a pick in front of Kako
It is what it is. We simply have too many gaps in the list .
Said at the start of the year we were 3 plus years away.
The effort was there but as usual we created a ship load of opportunities but couldn’t do anything with it.

As soon as we kicked our ninth point for the quarter and the lead hit 5 points this was always happening.

Not even upset. This is all to normal now.

Yep, you could see it happening a mile away.

 

[SydneyBomber]

Ah well just bring someone in from the reserves. Oh wait they kicked 25 ****ing behinds today!

Ready for the big time!

 

[div12ressie]

she would score more points than our forward line

 

[Milanista28]

Next year will be way worse than this year I think. #joy

Thank you.
A voice of reason.

its sad when after a loss we create just as many questions as we have answers after a win

 

[ghostdog]

Not unhappy.
Last quarter showed good progress on last year. Yeah, we were inaccurate, but we kept the ball locked forward and kept giving the forwards opportunities. Our process and our resolve this season has been much better than last season. I was at the GWS game this time last year. We're an improved side.

Looking forward to the list being turned over again now. Hopefully that's what we see; Heppell, Goldy, Kelly, Laverde, Menzie should definitely be gone.

Out of curiosity, how good is Kako’s conversion rate at goal?

Not as good as it should be .

not much else goes on in life so (try to) enjoy the highs of the Bombers. Whats booming harder is even as the laughing stock of the completion, we manage to create an even bigger category of laughing stock to the already embarrassing situation we are in

I will believe you - I was just numb the entire last quarter waiting for something like that to happen. The numbness increased with each point as did the sense of the tidal wave coming toward us.

 

[Groundhog Day]

Not as good as it should be .

Something to look forward to then.

 

[Skipper_]

Not as good as it should be .

He’ll fit right in!

 

[Darealrath]

So predictable. Had a bad feeling all week but credit to the boys for really upping the comedy in the last quarter.

Caddy and Roberts stood up which was good to see at least.

Apparently the last three games to be lost with a kick for goal after the siren (since some time in 2022);

Essendon: 3
Rest of Competition: 0

What you need to do is get your head around the fact we are average and stop getting sucked in .
Every year you go flying off the ledge like Wyllie Coyote.
Hope is a bad thing.

 

[ant555]

Something to look forward to then.

Well he does play with a bit of energy and speed.

What will happen

PTSD my friend, PTSD…

Not surprised at all, the opposition coach who now coaches a bottom team, calls you spuds, instead of demolishing them to prove him wrong, you lose twice to them to prove him right. Just an embarrassing football club who are the butt of everyones jokes and have been for 20 years. im done
