Game Day Round 2: Essendon v Brisbane, Saturday March 26, 4.35pm AEDST - Marvel Stadium

[sameolds33]

That was just rubbish footy skills all round except Perkins and Stringer goals.

 

[gillon]

We got about a half of effort this week instead of 10 minutes. That's an improvement

 

[mike14]

Stewart shouldn't play seniors for at least a month after that lack of effort

 

[Its Manbearpig]

Smith needs to go. Has done nothing at all
Francis defence or out

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Cupido4lyfe Need to tell the family you'll be busy this entire week. Duty calls.

 

[Kyptastic]

I predict we dominate the first 10 minutes, kick 2 goals 6 then run out of puff

 

[The Devils Advocate]

Remember when we signed Devon Smith

for 2 years?
God that was funny.

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

stewart with the best essington moment ever

nah Langford running past the ball to the interchange was better

 

[JayJ20]

I don't think you can abstain Rutten from some of the blame.

What can Rutten do? Our midfield is undersized, our KPPs (other than Wright) are ordinary.
Not much he can do. If you want someone to blame, then look no further than Dodoro.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

Set shot attempts are a disgrace

Who gives a shit if Francis marks it in the 50? Guy couldn’t hit water if he fell out of a boat

 

[Alberto_Magnifico]

I predict we dominate the first 10 minutes, kick 2 goals 6 then run out of puff

Stringer clearance and running goal, crowd goes wild, then slow death for 25mins

 

[andleanback]

We need to have a conversation about Devon smith

3 Essendon players without a mark. Stewart and Draper are 2 of them. Not good enough.

 

[Inspecta Gadget]

James Stewart is going to be the inspiration for Herb's video this week, I am gonna say Bad Touch by Bloodhound Gang.

 

[justlookingaround]

I think I might be on the money. He really doesn't seem right today

He is moving around like Charles Barkley in Space Jam after the alien steals his basketball powers

 

[IHurley]

Francis could play full forward for another 100 games and still barely add to his 8 career goals.

 

[maskmcgee]

 

[thaibomber]

Stewart, Smith, Ham.... Gone please.

 

[scythe]

Until we can sort out our football program, we probably don’t need to waste resources on making a member of the crowd race a man in a gimp suit.

 

[Inspecta Gadget]

3 Essendon players without a mark. Stewart and Draper are 2 of them. Not good enough.

So you're saying Stewart just can't get his hands to it today?

 

[fishardansin]

Devon Smith has 1 more disposal than we have had quarters.
Drop this spud.

Absolutely.

Once Tippa and Snelling are available, if they're still picking him I'll be pissed off.

[THOMO_31]

What happened to the 1st 10 games Nick Cox. Took the game on. Now wants to handball backwards all the time, use the legs of yours and kick the thing 60 metres

[TheGreatBarryB]

May as well swap Francis and Stewart this quarter

Not much he can do. If you want someone to blame, then look no further than Dodoro.

He's in charge of getting the team right for Round 1, which they clearly weren't. He's in charge of team selection which has been crap. He's responsible for game day performance which has been crap.

If we went 3-0, we'd all be singing Rutten's praises. Can't have a bob each way. It's not about the list (which sure, needs work, but which list doesn't?).
