Game Day Round 18: Geelong v Essendon, Alphabet Soup Stadium, Saturday, July 15, 7.25 pm AEST

[scythe]

We've streamlined our game. All of the turnovers, none of the chains of dink-ass handballs before them.

 

[MightyDon]

If we had all 18 players in defensive 50 we’d still somehow get out numbered at the contest

 

[wichidi]

Good mark

 

[Donakebab]

Snell with the best contested mark for the night.

Thankfully just within his range.

 

[Lore]

So what actually are they doing to KP? Aside from banning the opposition cheer squad

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

first mark inside 50 oh dear

 

[ghostdog]

SNELLO!!

 

[Its Manbearpig]

No one has... It's the perfect storm of a milestone game, against a club that has a lot more strength and experience, at a ground with actual weather conditions, that also happens to be Geelong at Kardinia Park. It's like we have 4 of Achilles' heels atm

edit: make that 5 achilles heels. We're not clean under pressure either

Not trying to whip him or anything. Sometimes when a player is consistently quite good, seeing them make a few silly / pressured mistakes looks worse

 

[wichidi]

Stewart had more marks than our entire team

 

[Lore]

The umpires have more metres gained than we do

 

[Donakebab]

Stewart didn't even need to move to gobble that up.

 

[Its Manbearpig]

All the targets i50 there

 

[Shanghaistu]

this Looks like the last 5 games of 2022…. how long will it take us to build a competitive list?

 

[Happyskeret]

Gee it annoys me when we kick it to the oppo’s best defender.

 

[silk]

"Somehow got rid of it" .. yeah it's called a throw

 

[Donakebab]

So what actually are they doing to KP? Aside from banning the opposition cheer squad

Booing.

 

[wichidi]

Gee it annoys me when we kick it to the oppo’s best defender.

And then again and again and again…

Last year we started the season getting flogged by Geelong, and never recovered

This year we didn't get flogged by Geelong until the week after Anzac Day, and recovered, and now we're getting another flogging by Geelong.

I'm an Essendon supporter so I regard this as progress

 

[Donakebab]

Gee it annoys me when we kick it to the oppo’s best defender.

It must suck to be perpetually annoyed.

 

[Happyskeret]

And then again and again and again…

We did the same with Moore against Collingwood.

 

[scythe]

How many more of those no-look shanks can we expect out of Perkins tonight?

 

[Happyskeret]

It must suck to be perpetually annoyed.

It just feels normal to me now .

 

[Its Manbearpig]

One opponent inside our 50, lace our to him.
Just not our night.

 

[citizen-erased]

Wanna know whats gonna sting
Blues will be above us after next week

**** football

 

[ghostdog]

Weid getting Bronx cheers now
