Game Day Round 17 vs. Essendon, MCG, 7:40pm Friday 05/07

[MagpieJoel]

Doesn't work when there's no pressure, that's the thing.

Correct. It also doesn't work when teams play keeping off.

 

[Rooosterboy]

For Freo?

We tank best when another team stands to benefit

 

[anshell]

Looks like we won’t even have one of our famous comebacks in the last quarter.

 

[ThePhantom777]

30 tackles to 50. We are a joke.

 

[NMBB]

Don't think next year will be much better

 

[Markfs]

we've got half a dozen vfl players playing....the cupboard is bare.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Game was lost at selection, but the cherry on top was the no respect for Merrett. The one mid they have that could hurt us

No tag on Merret
Starting Long as the sub
Not instructing defenders to…you know, defend

The list goes on

 

[Piewithsauce13]

Would love to know the stat on how many times after we kick a goal the opposition gets a centre clearance and goals! Feels like a lot ( not just tonight)

 

[cityslick1]

So many out of form Quaynor, Moore, Frampton, Markov.
Or coming back slowly from injury JDG, Mihocek, Pendles.
Or injured McCreery, Elliott, Cox, Noble, Mitchell, McStay.

Lippa has also been non existent

 

[ksardog]

Frampton is the biggest ball watcher going around, flipping useless

 

[Rustin Cohle]

Ok so we’ve officially become a poor team now

Cool

Become?

This team has been shit for 90% of the season. Carried by Nick.

 

[manicpie]

No finals this year by the look of it

 

[partypie]

Can't really be surprised by this, our form has really gone to shit since we blew that lead in the last quarter vs Freo, at least compared to where most of us were expecting or hoping it to be.

 

[HotPiesWithSauce]

Steele has tried his heart out tonight

 

[Soaring Magpie]

Bobby Hill thinks he is a big bodied fPF, wake up Bobby and play to your strengths

 

[Rooosterboy]

Don't think next year will be much better

We are going be crap for a while, sold the farm for last year's flag, worth it in my opinion

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Looks like we won’t even have one of our famous comebacks in the last quarter.

No. We traded last quarter efforts for a first quarter effort

We’re a one quarter team

 

[upnsmoke]

Markov looks so bad this season. Just clumsy and clunky

 

[Hazz]

We’ve looked horrible around the ball yet don’t start Long.

Letting Merrett run free most of the night.

Moore is a shell of himself, why not go forward?

Either put Moore forward or back to the VFL for a game. Gives us nothing

 

[HotPiesWithSauce]

Good by Long there

 

[Do_Beta_Rapport]

We haven’t had a lot of poor coaching performances since Fly took over, but this has been one of them

He’s gotten very slow at making changes.

Daicos goes to HF when we are 4 goals behind, why not when we are clearly against momentum?

 

[cityslick1]

First time McRae has looked like a shizen coach

 

[Jafo]

At least we’re not the Saints. Imagine two years (more) of thinking this is the year and nothing happens.

 

[Axl the great]

They can’t even get out of each other’s way, this is ****ing comical

 

[Rooosterboy]

No finals this year by the look of it

My heart says thank you
