Game Day Round 7 - ANZAC DAY - Essendon v Collingwood, MCG, Thursday 25/4/24, 3.20pm AEST

[spagmo]

Hopefully scott bakes a few "under performing " players .

 

[nylexbandit]

dicey 100m penalty lmfao

how can he listen to directions if he can’t hear the umpire?

what a piss take

Even the initial one - dumb by him, definitely technically there, but had absolutely no impact as his teammate immediately grabbed it and through it to the player

 

[Foxx]

Who wins an IQ test out of Laverde and Draper?

 

[mxett]

1.5 to 5.1 in that qtr??? Pathetic

yes some poor kicking made it even worse

 

[Phone]

Every player knows if you give a 50 you have to get out. Not hearing isn't an excuse. ******* dumb.

Well, almost every player

 

[HirdsTheWord]

this club just refuses to have the killer instinct to murder a team they are already dominating.

such is life

 

[mike14]

Free tickets are cool. Free tickets next to the ferals are almost not worth it. They are seriously the nastiest people and not a great environment for a 12 year old...

Plus some dickheed has a drum they beat after every goal. Absolutely headache inducing.

Fun game though. We make some really dumb mistakes

 

[MiguelM]

Hobbs must learn to give first option.

Gets caught too often.

 

[boncer34]

Look we wrestled back control after giving it up. I'm frustrated like I'm sure a lot of you are but we'd have taken this before the bounce.

 

[spagmo]

yes some poor kicking made it even worse

I.e Stringer missed 2 shots

 

[Call Me Cake]

Yes!!! We won the first half ..come on!!

Interesting way to look at it. I like it.

 

[gillon]

Why is Caldwell getting such limited CBAs this week? Has been amazing in the guts for you guys.

Our coach prefers Parish, who is worse at kicking and tackling. On top of being slower.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

A few had missed and some brain-dead moments has cost us a couple goal lead

 

[Learntopray]

He was moronic to put the ball on the ground in the first place.
He gets no pass after that

Stringer gave him an almighty spray. He bit back.
You **** up that stupidly, just shutup and cop your spray.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Our coach prefers Parish, who is worse at kicking and tackling. On top of being slower.

Absolute bullshit.

 

[CBombers17]

They got on top of our mids. We've been good in the arm wrestles this year so still hope

 

[gillon]

Absolute bullshit.

Are you suggesting Parish is better at any of those things?

 

[sacka]

How ironic is it that all we have drafted over the last 15 years are back flankers, and here we begging for a back flanker that can transition the ball out of defence without turning it over.

 

[Petrify]

Who wins an IQ test out of Laverde and Draper?

Draper.

Tougher question is who wins an IQ test out of Laverde & Kelly

 

[ghostdog]

Please pity my screenless existence with an obliging reply;
What have been our strengths and weaknesses?
How's Calders going? I see he hasnt had much ball.
How's Duz going?
Any standouts?

 

[YEMOC NAYR]

Again. Kelly. Dumb footballer

 

[sameolds33]

Eh, we go into HT with a lead and it evened up in the later stages of that 2nd.

Sucks that we gave up the initial lead but you can't expect the oppo to not to have a run at it

they were always going to come back. Would have been good to play a bit smarter that quarter though and make the most of the goal opportunities

 

[MightyDon]

If the 3rd doesn’t start well I hope we don’t **** around, pull the trigger on the sub don’t leave it till 10mins in the last

 

[Just A Tragic]

That miss from Stringer after the 50 was such a momentum killer.

 

[JayJ20]

Look we wrestled back control after giving it up. I'm frustrated like I'm sure a lot of you are but we'd have taken this before the bounce.

This. I'm not mad because Collingwood are the reigning premiers for a reason and they showed it that quarter. They were always going to come back. Their pressure was through the roof. Despite that, we've had our fair share of chances.

Still ahead so it's all about what we show in the second half.
