AFL Autopsy Round 2: Essendon 16 point defeat to Fremantle

[Harlequin]

That was forgettable.

 

[Rack Watts]

Hopefully we forget Mitch Brown.

 

[TheDinosaur]

At least our junk time game is strong

 

[DonsRule]

margin very flattering in the end.

 

[Charliebrow 16]

Meh, just have to move on. Kudos to Green, Heppell, Saad, McKenna and Smith.

Fremantle have some terrific young kids. Promising future. Ross needs to persist and keep playing them irrespective of their inconsistencies from week to week.

 

[adsla69k]

I hope no one is epileptic at the ground

 

[dnbassador]

We win games before we play them and cant back up our arrogance when we win. Game plan is too easy at times if you shut down our run and put lots of pressure on we have nothing else.

 

[Rack Watts]

Could have won that if our Defense wasn't 3 good players and 3 absolute shitters.

 

[JayJ20]

Well done Fremantle. Outplayed us tonight.
Typical Perth game for us really

On to next week

 

[yodellinhank]

That was forgettable.

What was forgettable?

 

[BomberFan355]

Same old.

 

[the PILL]

Stars missing...

 

[Jesse Custer]

So... any injuries?

 

[VelvetSledge]

See ya Mitch Brown.

Dear God I hope Raz is fit. Forward line was stagnant.

 

[JT_the_Man]

Bloody Essington.

 

[Pweter]

Lazy, sloppy, dumb football. Complete Essington.

Having said that, hard to comprehend what that cauldron would've been like to play in from the comfort of my recliner.

 

[fairlight_cmi]

Langford is pathetic.
Stringer invisible.
Brown useless.
Daniher terrible tonight.
Delivery into our forward 50 was woeful for the majority of the night.
Effort and skills were extremely poor. Allowing Freo shots on goal with no pressure.
Typical interstate effort, against a fairly ordinary opposition.

 

[Mootsy]

A really poor effort, the score flattered us a lot.

 

[Zach Package]

Seems as though we've one upped ourselves, we've run out of petrol tickets by round 2.

Bizarre performance

 

[Its Manbearpig]

Doss Bottom 4 is probably a bit of a streach but I didnt expect to see such little effort tonight, obviously quite disapointing.

 

[Highly Evolved]

Could have won that if our Defense wasn't 3 good players and 3 absolute shitters.

I wouldn't say Hurley has been good the past two weeks. He has had some patches of good but absolute tripe at other times .

 

[Seagrave_Holmes]

Last week was our GF.

Hartley and Brown play and look like vfl footballers.

Too many dropped marks and handballing to the other team ffs

Joe played like a millionaire, I hope his AA and MOTY haven't gone to his head.

Just too many passengers tonight.

Smith and Hepp probably our best. Green was good too.

 

[JT_the_Man]

See ya Mitch Brown.

Dear God I hope Raz is fit. Forward line was stagnant.

This.

Without Raz we are nothing.

 

[Andronicus]

A couple of positives:

Firstly, we saved a little bit of percentage when it looked like it could’ve been costly.
Secondly, I didn’t make the trip up to watch in Perth.

 

[Loonerty]

Yuck.

Team defence has not improved. Too many times Freo had a loose man on the wing and made it all the way into the 50 with ease.

Way too many passengers also. Escaped last week but exposed tonight.

Yet to see much from Stringer.
