Game Day Round 18 - Melbourne v Essendon, MCG, 13/7/24, 7.30pm AEST

[Schnitzengruben]

Another game were we give up an avalanche towards the end. Drank too much koolaid this week.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

lol we are just a ****in awful football team

 

[VelvetSledge]

Might turn into the Geelong game

It has. We’ve dropped our heads and we’re getting smoked.

Mental pygmies

 

[Don_Gia]

Which fans other than Sydney and maybe Hawthorn are happy with their teams performances atm? Everyone is shitting the bed…losing games they shouldn’t

 

[Jobe Watson]

Midfield should hang their heads in shame. Imagine getting smacked this hard by a midfield group missing it's two best players.

 

[thepokey]

lol we aren't winning a final this year

 

[andleanback]

This club is NOT a contender, they are a bunch of PRETENDERS!!!!!

Who was saying essendon are contenders this year. We are far from contenders

 

[Red Black and Blue]

I serious question what our defenders do when we have the ball, any turnover and they have a forward all alone for an easy goal.

Other teams turn it over and their defenders are actually in position

We have too many running defenders and not enough kicking defenders/marking mids.

 

[raskolnikov]

Half our team wouldn't get a game with any other club.

 

[nylexbandit]

Viney has a free pass for HTB **** me

 

[scythe]

Yep, I did well to go to the rugby tonight.

 

[boncer34]

That's not where we've lost the game though.

No but my point is despite being to tall we've still allowed their talls to dominate.

 

[nipst@r]

Maybe but when we go fast and just turn it over it is no good either .

If we instructed players to push up and at least even numbers, it's a bit easier to go fast.

 

[Nifft]

Goodnight all... actually surprised I watched for this long.

 

[naraku]

No shit, Essendon FC shat the bed under the spotlight again?

No! We're losing when we could have gone 2nd!?

No! We're losing even though the opposition has star/key players out!?


This is our mediocrity and reality.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

F***** clouds

 

[Learntopray]

Top two for taking against a shit Melbourne side and we get smashed all over the ground.

 

[eth-dog]

Another game were we give up an avalanche towards the end. Drank too much koolaid this week.

In fairness it's been because we're trying to win it through taking too many risks.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Get this spud out of the team, goodness me.

 

[spagmo]

Percentage meh.

% was already shit, now it is going to be even more shitter..... bunch of spuds out at the hanger -should hang there heads in shame after the pathetic performance tonight.

 

[Seb78]

I honestly hope we don't even make the 8.

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Is the Olympics on when footy finals are on? might be worth a watch.

 

[MightyDon]

Lucky we have a game style where we can’t put teams away when we have control

 

[andleanback]

We don’t play a wet weather style, it was always going to be a challenge tonight.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

no gawn and no petracca and we get smoked. In the ****ing wet.

this is beyond embarrasing.
