Game Day Round 23 - GWS Giants v Essendon, GIANTS Stadium, Saturday 19th August, 4.35pm AEST

[citizen-erased]

VFL win by 15 points
Alwyn Davey 18 touches 2 snags
Nick Bryan 23 touches 1 goal and 42 hitouts
Setterfield 29 touches and a snag

Not picking setterfield was stupider than picking stringer

 

[Schnitzengruben]

David King desperately trying to contain himself

 

[DapperDon]

I just went down to the shops did I miss anything?

Nah, we still have the same score as the first quater, give or take.

 

[citizen-erased]

Oh look. Its laverde

 

[jannissary]

even by our standards this is pathetic.

what a club, can't wait to see the same 22 picked next week for a prime time game

 

[Happyskeret]

Gee we are trying hard to get up the draft order.

 

[Keystone agony]

"He's not actually in charge anymore so no need to push him out"

If him not being charge is a positive then it's a testament to him being worthless, and if he's worthless being in charge then he's worthless to keep around for anything more. Get him out.

Hes not in charge of ranking the kids

What a surprise - a Carlton poster on our thread... only after they confirmed finals.

****ing soft in not posting before.

Also posting with athe greatest ratio of likes to posts - even your own mob don't like you Juzz. **** off back to them.

 

[citizen-erased]

I love the fox crew talking up the giants.

Port did this to them next week
We're garbage. Good win but this couldn't be further from finals pressure

 

[mike14]

It matters not, but what was that 50 for? Looked very soft

Well it's sold out. When all of you keep buying tickets and showing up you essentially provide positive reinforcement.

You vote with your wallets.

This game here is why we shouldn't have accepted not belting wce and norf.

We accept mediocre standards

You can not tip us to win 6 or 7 games and then bemoan the fact we can get blown off the park in a few games. If the year went to your prediction we would have probably lost one of the last two.

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Cumming went a bit early there.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

They're just taking the piss now

 

[Jobe Watson]

Really glad we gave Laverde another opportunity to prove himself.

 

[Call Me Cake]

Hes not in charge of ranking the kids

Then what's he there for?!

GET HIM OUT.

 

[Don_Gia]

Given the side is pretty much the same as this time last year I can.

At least we know it’s not a coaching issue.

I think I know my team so I kind of pessimistically tipped this type of smacking (not by 100 though) based on history…however I’m still shocked when it happens…

 

[SpeckieMcVeigh]

Delist Laverde at the end of the year.

Oh wait, we won't, because we have the worst list manager in football.

 

[NoWuckingFurries]

I honestly don't care. 20 years of high school, uni, and work banter with SFA to chirp back with has meant I care about other sports more. This club sucks

 

[Dons4days]

Hang your heads in shame Essendon. This is as bad as it gets.

We nearly did. Both of them

What kills me is being wrong and right.
Im not sure i tipped 6. But we did. And then stopped. If you're gonna slip so readily into Essington mode, then just tank it up, bank top 3 picks, and swallow the 8 year rebuild.
We want to eat our cake and have it too.

 

[Happyskeret]

8 goals not bad for a d**khead!

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Must be wet out there...better take it on your chest Hobbs.

i like going to the football, it's nice, personally. i've been to a fair few non-essendon games this year and it's always excellent.

i think there's probably another 3 years before the higher ups realise that there's a parasite in the club, who's initials are a and d

We do not know if the coach is any good either but with 80% of the same key personal it is hard for the coach to do anything different .
