Game Day Round 23 - Essendon v Sydney, Marvel Stadium, 16/8/24, 7.40pm AEST

['51 Bewick]

No way am I watching next week. We will get slaughtered.

 

[Tassieboy]

Heeney is a great player.

 

[Tassieboy]

Langford is alive.

 

[Don_Gia]

Swans were down by 27 this time last week…the comeback is on…

EDIT: Provided no Merchant behaviour occurs in the next 12 mins…

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Why shiel on the bench so long.

 

[mike14]

Why not just let Bryan run out the game? Surely the more footy he can play, the better?

 

[Inspecta Gadget]

Bryan stiff to get subbed. 15 blokes ahead of him

 

[scythe]

HOW'D YOU MISS FROM THE…oh he got it? Well how about that.

 

[wichidi]

Good on ya shiel. Increasing your trade value

 

[Mootsy]

Ever heard of the Essendon sex position?

You just sit on the edge of the bed and talk about how awesome it's going to be.

spooning

 

[JayJ20]

Guys we just needed to beat our comeback margin against Fremantle a couple of weeks ago. That's what it was. It just took Sydney too long to get to that margin.

 

[eth-dog]

Shiel BOG by a mile for us

 

[Charliebrow 16]

Poetic that Shiel is probably gone at the end of the year and he’s arguably our best disposer inside fifty at the moment

 

[FootyGuru]

There is a clear difference of skill between the teams, but there isn’t a difference in effort. We are having a real crack tonight

 

[horj89]

The difference between our best and worst must be the biggest in the league. Sunday pub league stuff at times.

 

[rumply]

Heeney is a great player.

Would like one.

 

[Beerfish]

This club is as stuff as it has ever been. 20 years of uncompetitive football.

Just hard to watch.

It is but it gets to a stage where it doesn't get any harder.

 

[Efc1robbo]

What the hell was McKay doing there? He actually ran to the side of the high ball. Not at it!?

 

[sameolds33]

ah well, I'm out

 

[fishardansin]

Just 4 goals ... at 7 inside 50s per goal we only need to get 28 more inside 50s

 

[southern_crusher]

Thats a million a year player

 

[WindyHillZephyr]

The media love pressure rating stat. Could they devise a composure stat, we are running at zero.

 

[yodellinhank]

Why not just let Bryan run out the game? Surely the more footy he can play, the better?

Tactical

 

[wichidi]

What do Essendon and a ballon have in common?

Both full of hot air

 

[B4dg3r]

How long are we going to persist with this forward press gameplan!
Absolutely no space for the forwards to work into.

It’s nuts cause I remember during Richmond’s dominance, when they destroyed us 100 times in a row, they played a massively forward half game and we could never get the ball past half back. Somehow they would manage to kick ****ing bags on us every time.
