Game Day Round 21 - Essendon v Freo, MCG, 4/8/24, 3.20pm AEST

[JayJ20]

Tooooo easy

They have 4 inside 50s for 3 goals
We have 4 inside 50s for 1 behind.

 

[Goat Hird]

Already looking cooked

 

[bommer16]

And the fade begins…

 

[SpeckieMcVeigh]

McKay might be worst on ground atm.

 

[div12ressie]

how is our transition to defense so terrible? wtf does brad do during the week

 

[bommer16]

I gave them 45 mins but going early.

 

[Squeaky]

Mason once again giving zero pressure.

That was pathetic wasn't it.

 

[DapperDon]

Laverde is a real momentum killer

 

[Bjchan13]

Laverde the next senior player we need to move on from. Has fallen off a cliff. He's been a warrior but isnt the answer for us and what we need to do

 

[BomberFan355]

Cox was scared.

 

[Blind Turn]

Why are teams kicking so straight against us . It’s not fair

 

[fishardansin]

McKay is going to get killed by his opponent's athleticism ... and wtf is defenders watching the marking contest all about?

So, we've seen a middle-of-the-road side have a crack at home in the first quarter, but when you require 120% the effort of the opposition, they eventually over run you as you make mistakes and they hurt you with good disposal.

 

[boncer34]

Those 50s should not be a part of our game. He’s not impacting on the play and was chasing his man. Far far too harsh.

Agreed. Problem is you had a certain coach in the 80s tell his players to give away the old 20m like they were candy which lead to the 50m being introduced.

 

[Bjchan13]

Decent 2nd effort from Menzie

 

[JayJ20]

Why are teams kicking so straight against us . It’s not fair

Because no pressure up the field means easy transition inside 50 for the opposition which means a mark inside 50 in a good spot.

I feel like every week he has a couple of cataclysmic brain fades.

You just can’t have players like that in a big final.

 

[boncer34]

Martin's defensive development gone well. Hasn't been a complete waste of time.

 

[Happyskeret]

If we were a movie title we would be called Lost in Transition.

 

[The Airing of Grievances]

Cox was scared.

Hate to say it but not a first offence

 

[Its Manbearpig]

Should be drapers free. Took it out of the ruck and didn't dispose of it. How was that not called?

 

[Squeaky]

Why are teams kicking so straight against us . It’s not fair

Cos they deliver unfettered to an open forward line

 

[ghostdog]

Longmuir looks like crewman from the Enterprise.

 

[Learntopray]

If we were a movie title we would be called Lost in Transition.

I would've gone with Titanic. Looks good, sinking ship.

 

[Don_Gia]

The quality of i50s…mate

 

[quotemokc]

Why are we going to the pocket when we get a mark in the middle
