No.

SLAY QUEEN

 

[MightyDon]

I miss 2016 the only time the side has had a crack all year in 2 decades

 

[MattyB3150]

Right when you think you couldn’t be any more embarrassed to be an Essendon supporter

 

[nesko_25]

yep, and remains a favourite and a shoe in to be a finals small fwd despite not actually being as good as his stats suggest

Too soon

Not for our players. They will get walloped next week and then they're off.

 

[Happyskeret]

Essendon 12
Toby 6

We got this!

Toby has squared the ledger.

 

[Squeaky]

I'm actually ashamed. I'm aware that we aren't gonna win every game, but I expect effort every single weekend. If the result doesn't come so be it.

But I can't accept what we've dished up for the last 6 weeks. I'm at the stage where I'm strongly considering not renewing my membership next year - * giving the club my money when they can't even give honest effort.

Been there, done that. Club paid mine 2 weeks ago... They don't need money...
They need some ****ing heart !!!!

Yes, when a bunch of non Essendon players filled in the gaps.

No coincidence

 

[HirdsTheWord]

at least we are belting coburg in the VFL?

 

[Schnitzengruben]

If Langers kicks this, we're right back in it.

 

[Saddlemanbags]

They beat this team at the start of the year... Clearly gone backwards.

 

[windyhill]

We also need a real ruckman. I don't care about this lust everyone has for Draper. It's merely a bandaid for the truth. He should not be playing #1 ruck, he should be 2nd. We need someone who isn't trying to go Hollywood every tap despite being an average kick.

The longer Draper was out the better footballer he became.

[jdstorm]

it’s wild how much of a Band-Aid Ridley has been for this team. From fringe top 8 to on par with West Coast and North due to one player

 

[ghostdog]

the thing that hurts the most is the enjoyment that every non Essendon supporter is getting from the hiding we are getting.

Add to that the laughing and criticism we will attract because of how poor we are defending

I just laugh now. We're a joke.

 

[DapperDon]

Wow, we finally broke Langers

 

[Schnitzengruben]

We put in more of an effort jogging off the field than we do chasing opposition.

 

[Dons4days]

Time to send all of the midfielders into the backline to show them what it feels like to constantly be under siege because your teammates refuse to run hard and apply pressure.

 

[Jobe Watson]

Laverde, Kelly, Heppell, Guelfi, Stringer, Phillips - garbage players.

No i'm not!! You heartless nothing.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

We gift an dogshit oppo forward the “Wayne Carey for a day” experience almost every week. This week is Hogan’s crack at it. I hope he enjoys his day in the sunshine courtesy of Essington.

we routinely make Jeremy Finlayson look like Gary Ablett also.

Not to mention what we have let Taberner do.

This club just ****ing sucks lol

 

[Dons4days]

Sadly without the top 4 draft pick

Apply for a compensation pick using only this game a reasoning

Some serious calls need to be made at the end of the year.

We also need to open the door for Zerk and get whatever we can for him, however little it is. The type of defender that ends up costing you a prelim/GF.

We also need to start shedding the old VFL-infatuation players we had from the Rutten era... Snelling, Durham... these are not the type of players that feature in your finals wins let alone premierships.

Ive suggested this and highlighted we have far to many we consider best 22

 

[biglaycock]

I must be watching a different game, can’t believe people are bagging out Perkins. Seems to be 1 of 2-3 actually having a go.

Some of these blokes just don’t give a ****, I hope you are up to it Brad coz there are quite a few that need a line through their name after this lack of effort

 

[ghostdog]

Nick Hind is our best player

Perkins is trying hard.
Caldwell is trying hard.

I don't feel like anyone else has really turned up.
