[bomberlegend2007]

What’s Ross Lyon doing in 2021?

 

[VexOh]

Dean Solomon in

 

[naraku]

Obviously the guy's checked out before this match but it's still pathetic. Show some pride and balls!


Rutten... should of been Ratten. Who misread that memo?

Essendon with finals on the line, Hawks rebuilding.

Yep. Explains our football club. Seriously considering getting my membership refunded. I’m not paying for shit like this.

I see Clarkson has worked out our gameplan.

We always kick high and long to Tipungwuti. Never low. Never on the lead. Never on the ground to space. Always high and long.

So play McEvoy on AMT.

It’s so true it’s laughable really.

 

[biglaycock]

A plan for lazy one way runners ?

100% correct, the issues at this club run a hell of a lot deeper than the game plan.

 

['51 Bewick]

Time for a total rebuild. Anyone over 24 is in the gun sights.

 

[faible]

I honestly enjoyed watching the 2016 team play more than this one.

 

[eth-dog]

This is the worst game we've played this decade. We're making a bottom 4 side look like millionaires

 

[JayJ20]

what if essendon win?

TBH I really couldn't give a shit if we win. The damage is done whether we win or lose from here. I've seen enough.

There was something incredibly liberating about that year... I don't think I'd suspend my top 10 players just to repeat it though.

I quite like watching those dash cam car crash videos, so I will unfortunately be tuning in to the second half of this wreckage.

Hawks rebuilding? Funny way of doing it

 

[Milanista28]

Every club Caracella has gone too, success has followed him. Yet he comes back to this rabble and even he can’t work the magic.

He's been part of successful teams Cats Pies and Tigers all played differently all catered to those lists. These coaches need to build something for our list our players, Be Richmond isnt a game plan.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

This is going extremely well.

Any good draft prospects this year?

 

[ant555]

One thing I can not work out is why we do not block or Shepard. Would eliminate a lot of the extra hand ball.

 

[AsIfYouCare]

Draft picks.

F draft picks. That mentality sets a club back 5 years.

 

[Jesse Custer]

Time for a total rebuild. Anyone over 24 is in the gun sights.

You're kidding. The club is sure this a top 4 side

I am glad you are the mod.

We would have to have the most players on an AFL list with the least amount of skill or grunt. We fail to hit handpasses that are relatively easy and we simply cannot kick to the advantage of our own players at all - bomb it long. It is OK to have these types of players in your team if they bring something else, like passion and intensity, but they dont do that either.

As soon as any sort of pressure comes (minimal or not), they sh*t themselves and just try to get it to someone else to make it their problem. The only player at the moment that i feel comfortable with ball in hand is Ridley - he not only uses it well, but doesnt look like he is rushed. I honestly cannot think of another, even a player not currently in the team.

Good news is, we have West Coast, Geelong, Port and Melbourne remaining... floggings coming for the next month and hopefully this will put pressure on management to make some serious decisions about the future of the club (but we know they wont).

We are almost the absolute laughing stock of the competition.Adelaide without winnning a game is showing better signs than us at the moment. I want J.Dan to stay, but honestly, why would anyone want to stay at Essendon - perhaps Jake Carlisle was right all those years ago (even though he is a flog)
