Game Day Round 14: Essendon v Hawthorne, Thursday 27/8/20, Adelaide Oval, 4.10pm ACST

[gillon]

We will come out after half time with better effort for about a quarter. That will lead to maybe 3 goals before we revert back to normal. This group does not care enough.

 

[boncer34]

I've turned off. **** it. This is pathetic.

Absolute ****ing trash and anyone who thinks anyone in that midfield has played ok is delusional. They've collectively been horrendous.

 

[JT_the_Man]

No words.

Can already tell this Richmond style handball calamity won’t work at Essendons

We don’t have the skills or tenacity to install it.

I’ve said it before, why do we have to copy another team?

Easier than coming up with a plan to use the pieces you have...

 

[Seagrave_Holmes]

What a pathetic display from this club.

This is our line in the sand moment. Need to come out after half time spitting fire.

 

[JayJ20]

I'm not even mad to be honest. This shows exactly where we are at. At least there'll hopefully be a cleanout at the end of the year.

 

[TheGrizz]

I dont know why we are persisting with Smith behind the ball but he is slaugtering it.

Get him the **** out of there

 

[eddie_punchclock]

weak

 

[RearNaked]

Don’t blame joe for wanting to go imagine being a forward with this shocking handball style

 

[DERO]

Someone remind me again why Hird got sacked? We'd have been a capable team if he was still at the helm. This is absurd. We're missing two players from our best team.

What a heartless embarrassment. fu** you Xavier Campbell you weak prick. I hope someone knocks your smarmy head off at the next members meeting. Arrogant tosser.

Ummmmm.

 

[Learntopray]

The biggest problem is, we are one of the only sides to play an extra at the contest, and yet we never get good delivery out. Then we are treading water because we look up at the outnumber and don't have the skills to bypass it.

 

[ant555]

Crap skill level. Simple. Not game plan can stand up to constant turnovers.

 

[11kgm]

Trade everyone bar saad ridley draper

 

[djrossie16]

Geez should be down by over 10 goals against a rebuilding side of all clubs lol
getting smashed here is probably the best thing that can happen to us because we're getting just spin from the club if they think we're going anywhere

 

[Runk]

Yeah but guys think about all the ‘Learning!’ going on out there today and remember we’re going to be a good team VERY QUICKLY!!

 

[Bjchan13]

Unbelievable. I dont think ive seen a team play football this badly. We have no cohesion whatsoever. None of the players know what they're doing or what their teammates are doing. If there is a gameplan they have no idea what it is or how to execute it. On top of that the skill level of a potato, we are the worst team in the comp by a long way.

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Joe probably changed his mind and off to Sydney after witnessing that.

 

[bennyg12]

As bad as I've seen for years bring Fitzroy as least they tried

 

[Drummer_19]

Hopefully we can get the handball to kick ratio a bit better in the second half. Not liking all these feet touching the ball.

 

[ant555]

A plan for lazy one way runners ?

I don’t get it, we’ve got marking targets and insist on handballing at every chance. Hooker at CHB, Phillips as a target, Atewart at CHF AND Joe at FF.

Why bother using them though hey?

Can’t put him in the middle, he does nothing for us their either.

Nah, just need that one piece to put us over the top. Jackets can already smell the trade week win..

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

One team looks organised ...horrendous half

 

[BomberTime]

Least their possession count looks good. That’s all they care about.
