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

[Tassieboy]

Langford has gone back

 

[mike14]

Dafaq was that? In a terrible game that was abysmal

 

[The Donners]

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

I ****ing hope this is the case.

 

[Happyskeret]

 

[citizen-erased]

How are you right ? 6 to 8 wins would have included a few losses like today and games like the last two.
I think I have been closer to right. 10 or 11 wins and at least 5 years away from knowing if we are a genuine top 6 finals winning side.
Has anything I said pre season proved to be massively wrong ?
Not enough marking power in front of the footy.
Lack of genuine leadership.
Midfield mix still not right.
We have enough decent players to win 10 or so games but we are just a middle of the road side.
Has any of this been proven wrong ?

Right that we're a bottom 4 side still
Wrong, because we won't finish there.

 

[The Donners]

I say if we all stayed home for 3 weeks in a row the message would come across pretty quick.

They’ll only sack the coach and it’s not the answer.

 

[jannissary]

i'm a pretty optimistic person with regards to essendon and essington but this is probably some of the least inspired and downright pathetic attempts at playing football. why brad scott took this job in the first place eludes me because he'd do better at ****ing north melbourne than this joke of a club

 

[BomberManU]

Is this their biggest ever win?

Answering my own question, yes it is, by a fair margin too.

 

[Goat Hird]

I dozed off in the 2nd quarter, just woke up, feel great.

 

[mike14]

Does anyone know where this ranks for our lowest scores in the last 50 years

 

[Tassieboy]

Clear goal.

 

[Tassieboy]

Wow. What would I know.

 

[Call Me Cake]

I'm not going back into work after this.

[Gabe251]

Broken club.

 

[MightyDon]

Almost excited that a loss like this might bring about the list cull we desperately need, then you remember we are essington we are essington

 

[ant555]

Wrong, because we won't finish there.

We are not bottom 4. You are not right. We are not losing to bottom 4 sides. We are a mid range side. If we where a bottom 4 side we lose to the Eagles 2 weeks ago. We are in the next level up. Does not make us immune to shit performance or a chance to win finals . It is why I enjoyed being at the last two wins. I have a clear view of where we are at.

 

[Run and carry]

We'll win next week after having the week off.

Been busy this afternoon, have I missed anything?

 

[jannissary]

i think human's will evolve to the next stage of life before a cull like that happens

 

[essendon]

Is Wright playing?

 

[SpeckieMcVeigh]

This is worse than the 20 goals in a row game vs the Bulldogs.

What's the last game we've played that's worse than this?

 

[Beerfish]

Been busy this afternoon, have I missed anything?

Not a godamn thing
