Game Day Round 12: Essendon v Richmond, Dreamtime at the... O? Saturday June 5, 7.40pm AEST, 5.40pm local

[Bunk Moreland]

Ran out of legs

 

[sameolds33]

Momentum sapping umpiring tonight

 

[Goat Hird]

Just a class or two above us

 

[mike14]

Jeez they can miss.

Still don't really understand why the AFL bought back in the sub rule so a team can have fresh legs for the last 8 minutes

 

[Tassieboy]

Ran out of steam late. Tippa clearly injured. Zaharakis out. McGrath subbed

 

[eth-dog]

They're the fittest side in the comp. Have been for 5 years.

 

[Tippa43]

Come on Langford you gotta chase

 

[Highly Evolved]

I'm not even mad. Just a little deflated. The fight back from the team was really good.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

That Stringer miss killed us. Absolute turning point in the game.

 

[DapperDon]

It sucks but I feel like we’ll never beat this team again. We never show up against them.

Lol they'll fall apart in 2 years when to their stars leave.

 

[srobbo]

Pathetic attempt to chase by langford on balta

 

[biglaycock]

Getting a great lesson in gut running here, our small forwards have been given an absolute lesson

 

[DapperDon]

That Stringer miss killed us. Absolute turning point in the game.

Phillips just as big

 

[bomberlegend2007]

**** I am proud of this lot. We ran out of legs, we took it up to them.

Seeing the comments from tonight’s game, it’s seems the opposition supporters (mainly Carlton) are basking in this. However, Have a feeling, in the back of their head, they are not going to enjoy us Essendon being insufferable over the coming years.

 

[Lore]

55,656 in the crowd tonight

 

[11kgm]

these cheating pricks trying to even up the score

 

[Stopher]

Don't deserve this margin

 

[The Devils Advocate]

Stringer's last two efforts killed us.

 

[Watson_my_mind]

The amount of times Ridley and Francis have got hands on it in defensive 50 just to drop it...

 

[mike14]

Being down a rotation was always going to hurt against a team like this

 

[JayJ20]

Disappointing end to the quarter

 

[The Devils Advocate]

We're ****ing tired.

 

[The Airing of Grievances]

It sucks but I feel like we’ll never beat this team again. We never show up against them.

You can't possibly say we didn't show up. We tried our guts out and were great at the contest. Efficiency, method composure injury and the inherent tendency of umpires in every sport to favour the top sides all worked against us.

 

[scythe]

Come on Hind, you didn’t even try to make it a contest.

 

[srobbo]

We’ve given up now. It’s so disappointing
