I was expecting a 90 point loss so well done boys. You've earnt your rest and relaxation

The amazing thing is, if we do finish above the Cats it will be the first time in exactly 20 years we have finished higher than them

How is it possible with a salary cap for one club to finish ahead of another for 20 bloody years? It takes a special kind of incompetence.

I did a calculation and, presuming it is 50/50 each year, the chances of one club finishing above another for 20 consecutive years is 1 in 1,048,576

We literally achieved a one in a million. Well done Essendon.

Look at who has been identifying talent for the respective clubs over that time - that will give you the how.

Gutless ******* campaigners. Has a team that looked so good for half a season ever looked so bad to finish the season?

Essendon, 2012 & 2013.

Late contender for Post of the Year, this one. Wild stuff

Now go and enjoy your holidays, you have earnt it.

the pies gave up more than we did after quarter time. Total cruise control

 

[NoWuckingFurries]

No good erupting after the game, how about erupting and showing some emotion during the game you pissants.

 

[ydc55]

Merrett on 7 just now.

Looked shattered. Clearly had been crying.

Sounds like it was a heated team meeting post game.

Said the team is mediocre and needs to make some hard decisions in the next few days.

36 disposals of which 3 were contested
interesting that he had a subtle dig at parish i reckon
zac cares and he is tied to the club long term

Drop the football from the name

Insipidon FC. Can decide from there what those letters mean to you.

Considering Kyle’s performance didn’t really drop off, it’s probably fair to ask for some answers from someone…

 

[Gumby2Hurley]

Stringer was cooked after the port game. The rest of the team the week after against the cats. Don't know whether to put it down to young tired bodies or too many passengers but the final 7 weeks were terrible.

The game started a few hours earlier. That was the time for energy and emotion.

Last night was a roller coaster.

Picking my daughter up in the 1st quarter and listening on the radio I didn't care, then after i got home watching the first 10 minutes of the 2nd I felt white hot rage. I then went and did some shit until the 3rd quarter when i started watching and i simply didn't care again.

This morning i still don't care. It's like the results are a direct output of the club not caring. If they're not invested, why should I be?

I watched the first five minutes and was about to turn it off when I realised Tippa was about to come on. Watched another five minutes and turned it off.

Then came back with 8 mins to go in the last quarter and same as you. Just sort of glazed eyes my way through it.

What would the mascot of this insipidon non-football club be?

keep it traditional IMO

 

[Kong]

Oh and Brad said they’re going to have to take extraordinary measures to bridge the gap between us and the best teams.

whoever our strength and conditioning coach is must be living the life of riley, doing. nothing for the club and getting paid for it.

laughable, essendon is a joke sometimes

I wonder if there will be changes there. Scott has mentioned the football dept last 2 weeks.

The tackling isn't anywhere close to where it should be and it is not all about size. Butters ain't that big but he tackles well.

Players are just using their arms to try and stop opposition, laughable at this level,

This drives me crazy.

 

[Cold Sober]

And we can come back and do it all again next year, are we not a lucky bunch.

What else would it mean with AFL lifestyle.
It's pretty bloody obvious.

Young, heap of cash and worshipped.
Why would you push yourself for actual success when that lifestyle is pretty much all you could want as soon as you walk into the league.

That's the thing about mediocre, you aren't s**t enough for the thrashings to make you wake up and want more.
You think you are trying hard, you think you can party and still be a professional.
Dog s**t leaders don't push you.
Crowds still show up and chant your name.
They don't care about fans insofar as actually performing for them, actually being successful.

It's why we need these beltings, we need as much spotlight and attention on this club.
Embarrassment on the biggest stages.
Members to not sign up, crowds to dwindle.

Bottom of the ladder cellar dweller lifestyle to maybe wake the club up to the reality that they are absolute s**t, and they are so amateur that they don't even know it.

Players that are happy to be playing AFL . Not players who want to go the extra mile to win a GF .

If you are only considering two teams the probability is twice as likely as you don't have to count the first year.

hard to assume not. we’re so lacking compared to other teams, i feel like every other club has players who break tackles and have genuine leg speed & we have no one who has either (sans nick hind, who developed under whoever at kilda (though did play with our vfl side iirc))

let’s hope there’s something done about it
