Game Day Round 22 - Essendon v Gold Coast, Marvel Stadium, 10/8/24, 7.30pm AEST

[MiguelM]

Apart from Caddy. We have no forward line.

 

[jarka11]

we are allergic to moving the ball from the backline cleanly with any sense of composure

 

[mike14]

Stringer and Langford need a big last quarter. Davey has to either find more of the ball, or start finding it closer to goal so he's an actual threat.

Would be nice to see some composure with ball in hand and some defensive positioning

 

[fishardansin]

He did give away a 50 and looked very frustrated. So I’ll go with someone getting under his skin

To be fair that was a shitty free kick and an harsh 50. I'd want to fight if I was on the receiving end of that

 

[ydc55]

We’re in need of a Marto special

Martin needed to go back with the flight of the ball and would not do it.
He could win the bombers the game but I think he plays the wrong way.
I hope he kicks 4 goals this quarter!!!!!!

 

[TheGrizz]

Either our plan for Rowell isn't working, or the coaches need to get their stuff together here. Absolutely torching us.

That and our entries i50 at the moment.

 

[naraku]

Some of these guys could/should literally be playing for there EFC careers in this last quarter.

 

[Jobe Watson]

Gresham 3 touches from 81% gametime. Spud.

 

[yodellinhank]

Maybe the issue is they are having too many beers while playing?

Not enough from the sounds

 

[Charliebrow 16]

Sub Bonnie Toogood in. She’d be more of a presence and aerial threat than a few in that forward line at the moment

 

[Snake Charmer]

Some of these guys could/should literally be playing for there EFC careers in this last quarter.

Key word in bold unfortunately

 

[Old man fletch]

The dissent rule really has died a quiet death

Yep. Saw a couple of Collingwood players give umpires an absolute spray this week and thought the same

 

[TheGrizz]

Davey, Gresham and Menzie both are all lucky we were forced to use the sub early here.

 

[naraku]

That and our entries i50 at the moment.

Something Setterfield can help with, but he can't get a game now.

 

[ydc55]

These teams are twins.

Yes!
They are both equally flawed but Gold Coast have Rowell and king who might get them over the line I reckon.
We have a crack but too many players who are simply not good enough.
Not their fault just simply how it is.

 

[MiguelM]

Forgot Gresham is playing.

He has been awful. Hind surely ahead of him.

 

[crackers65]

Both our small forwards starting on bench.

 

[yodellinhank]

Davey, Gresham and Menzie both are all lucky we were forced to use the sub early here.

So, all small forwards struggling. I wonder if that's just coincidence or there's something more to it?

 

[boncer34]

He had to miss one eventually

 

[boncer34]

So, all small forwards struggling. I wonder if that's just coincidence or there's something more to it?

They're all average?

 

[mike14]

Outnumbered in the air and then on the ground in our forward line

 

[Yoda_]

when did they sub on Gresham?? I thought Hobbs was sub

 

[Harlequin]

Archie’s here!

 

[mike14]

Archie!
