Game Day Round 13 - Essendon v **** Carlton, MCG, Sunday 9/6/24, 7.20pm AEST

[Phone]

I think some of the bad inside 50s entries were a reflection of the build up and how we got the ball in the first place, I'm not sure the player delivering the ball could have done much different.......but that martin one to the pocket was absolute stupidity

 

[bommer16]

I mean Ess can’t be playing like this against anyone not just these wannabees.

 

[Ozzie93]

so dogshit, watch em cave in and get smashed the next half. Seen this script before...

 

[Shanghaistu]

Thanks to the draw with Collingwood we can at least be 3rd for another week after tonight

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Efficient forward line vs an innefficient fwd line atm.

 

['51 Bewick]

Our lack of skills is frightening. When Carlton go inside F50 they lower the eyes and look for a team mate. When we go inside F50 we bomb it straight to an opponent.

 

[YEMOC NAYR]

If you didn't see a performance like this coming you've had your head in the sand. Worst 2nd place team at this point of the year I think I've personally ever seen.

 

[The Donners]

Horrible half.

Glad in a way. I don’t think 2nd on the ladder is fitting of where we are at. Sick of reading about Essendon finally arriving.

I said pre-game Blues by 60. Could end up being more.

 

[Keystone agony]

If we were told wed keep them to 34 i50s for a game then youd think we wouldve won

Obviously probably needed more entries than them with their power forward line and our lacklustre forward line

 

[MiguelM]

We are being smashed. Poor conversion early sucked the life out of us.

Can't see us getting close TBH.

Is 2MP playing?

 

[BomberManU]

Being made to look very ordinary. Always a bad sign when the oppo out numbers you everywhere...but then have free players in the forward line.

 

[Gabe251]

First quarter was pretty even imo. We just didn't convert. Second was not. We had the chances but we just kept bombing it.

 

[dank420_]

This is where we are at.

 

[Dave]

17 i50s for 2 goals against 6 for 5……

Need to sort that out pronto.

 

[MiguelM]

That Hind reversal was rubbish.

 

[Squeaky]

Drinking their own bath water for 5 weeks now

Yep. Since the GWS win we have been worse and worse every game

 

[quotemokc]

So they scored 5 goals from only 6 i50s

 

[Tassieboy]

Why is Wright playing so poorly?

 

[Shanghaistu]

so dogshit, watch em cave in and get smashed the next half. Seen this script before...

If you didn't see a performance like this coming you've had your head in the sand. Worst 2nd place team at this point of the year I think I've personally ever seen.

We are basically just a bottom-four side with lipstick

 

[BomberManU]

Our lack of skills is frightening. When Carlton go inside F50 they lower the eyes and look for a team mate. When we go inside F50 we bomb it straight to an opponent.

We have the skills, it's the stupid decisions.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

The reality is we have very few if any forwards with high level physical gifts.

 

[quotemokc]

Kelly needs to go and tag someone. If he's going to be useless he can at least take one of their players out of the game too.

Yep, if he isnt being told to stop someone he shouldn't play

 

[Charliebrow 16]

Forward line is still completely dysfunctional, and we really miss Parish and his cleanliness in the middle.

 

[The Devils Advocate]

He actually has a good footy brain, just not a footy body

He reads the flight really well.

 

[srobbo]

Ffs sub that spud Kelly off!
