Game Day Round 24: Essendon vs Brisbane Lions - Saturday 24 August - 7:30 PM - The Gabba

[Westlo]

Sends a great message when senior players refuse to play vfl. One blemish in a loyal career for heppel.

Parish, guelfi, heppel must had have contracts that say no vfl footy.

Or the coach is an idiot and picks them straight into the afl side (not counting hep)

This is the same genius who gave away a potential AA wingman, lets hope he actually plays saad next year instead of giving him away for pick 60 at the end of the season.

like **** me we're a shit team when you look at our kicking... and we give away the best ****ing kick in the club???

 

[nipst@r]

Heppell copped a lot of criticism, but been head and shoulders better than leverde and Kelly tonight

Yet still poor. Lohman hasn't had much influence has he. Haha.

 

[FootyGuru]

Yet still poor. Lohman hasn't had much influence has he. Haha.

Think he only went to him in the second qtr.

 

[SpeckieMcVeigh]

Merret, roberts, byran, Martin have been good.

I think mcgrath has been okay but realise that's unpopular. Tough to shut your opponent out when clear turnovers to him.

Senior players are cooked, and have looked tired for weeks.

Please be ruthless come list time. Ideally 8-9 changes in the off season.

Martin has not been good, he's had multiple catastrophic turnovers because the dude overrates his own kicking ability.

The other 3 are our only strong players today. Perko started hot but faded out in the second quarter.

 

[Chief Hopper]

Geeze we're awful both ends.
Is Larverde practicing being this bad?
Our kicking into fwd 50 yet again let's us down.

Let's see how we go in the 2nd half.

 

[Blind Turn]

Beats farken gambling ads

Is that the standard we’re aiming to rise above?

 

[Snake Charmer]

Why did Kelly kick him lol

too busy being tough to fight for a live loose ball

 

[Phone]

Well that sums up Jake "Tough" Kelly up doesn't it

 

[Westlo]

yeah who cares about the loose ball Kelly, kick that guy in the back instead.

you can **** right off

 

[Inspecta Gadget]

First thing kelly has done all night

 

[yodellinhank]

Give Kelly 23 weeks the weak dog

 

[bommer16]

Yay Kyle

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

2 minutes of Kelly magic

 

[Jobe Watson]

Parish is well ahead of Shiel

That Shiel 25m kick coming out of the backline that he kicked straight to a Brisbane player was special. 0 tackles to boot.

 

[Phone]

First thing kelly has done all night

No he also had the play when he ran hard...and then ****ed up the mark and disposal and the Lions got a setshot on goal

 

[Blind Turn]

Wish Kelly had gone a bit harder with the kick. Not to hurt Hipwood but to force our hand when he’s suspended for 16 weeks.

 

[Zach Package]

Give Kelly 23 weeks the weak dog

I’m in favour of creative punishments, he should be made to sign a 5 year deal.

Do they still have "Savers" opp shops? Tryna get my hands on a farewell hepps T-shirt for a mate...

 

[Snake Charmer]

Kelly has no clue. Does so much random shit. Gotta be one of the first to go

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

kick him kelly before he kicks a goal ffs

 

[jdstorm]

No one on this team wants to tackle today (or ever)

So much for “edge”

 

[Jobe Watson]

How can you blame the midfield for our defence sucking when our defenders do dumb shit like that?

 

[Schnitzengruben]

McKay cbf even phoning it in.

 

[sameolds33]

inexplicable kickouts killing us
