I’m still happy we beat Coll last week and Carlton lost so this weekend is not entirely hopeless.

 

[MightyDon]

Dees just dropped the ball again

 

[raskolnikov]

Jake is so selfish at times.

 

[yodellinhank]

It’s actually really sad to watch Heppell at the moment - I hope he’s not remembered like this

Pretty hard for him not to be remembered as the guy who cut his hand microwaving a steak.

 

[Pweter]

That quarter was puss

 

[southern_crusher]

Disgusting first half of footy

 

[Jobe Watson]

Pathetic quarter. Players should be embarrassed.

 

[DERO]

The high possession game falls down in the wet.

 

[boncer34]

Even then. Why is Merrett streaming back towards May?

Any chance of being smart and leading up at Stringer?

 

[southern_crusher]

You don't think we'll play finals this year?

Zero chance.

 

[YEMOC NAYR]

The day we realise heppell is past it we will move forward as a footy club

Terrible quarter. They upped their pressure and we just stopped putting our heads over the ball.
Lots of poor footy, and stupid play in the wet.
Heppell was bad, Stringer was dumb, Langers needs to hold simple marks.

The refusal to reward the tackler is sad to see, and something that detracts from the current game

 

[boncer34]

No Gawn, No Trac, Oliver a shadow and we're losing clearances.

 

[Old man fletch]

Dees just dropped the ball again

A HTB call would be nice, but the umps aren't calling it. That and incorrect disposal. We need to adjust and start playing the way the umps are allowing melbourne to play

 

[Shanghaistu]

Was that our worst quarter for the year so far? Our ‘slick handball wave’ gameplan looks putrid in this weather

 

[HirdsTheWord]

same thing over and over and over and over again

Essendon dominate possession in Q1. Can't score and create scoreboard pressure.

Then do nothing to stop transition goals, now momentum is against us.

 

[Pweter]

The high possession game falls down in the wet.

Nobody should be surprised by this but the players and coaches must be as we're certainly not playing to the conditions

 

[yodellinhank]

The high possession game falls down in the wet.

Probably needs another ruck?

 

[outersanctum]

Poor selections for conditions. Poor game plan in wet.

Very disappointing. Only hope it gets dry in 2nd half.

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Release the hind and Wright or Caddy off.

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Poor selections for conditions. Poor game plan in wet.

Very disappointing. Only hope it gets dry in 2nd half.

Not many showers coming up the bay now.

 

[The Airing of Grievances]

Well surely that was our worst quarter for the game. If not.....maybe I'd better remove all throwable items from the room.
