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

[Goat Hird]

Run around and kick it

 

[Tassieboy]

Inability to take our chances again.

 

[fishardansin]

yeah, those two holding the balls on the wing were obvious as anything. should have been the first ones give not the Maggies

Umpires aren't a problem here .. it is Essendon not winning in the contest and then spilling marks in the hot spot

 

[Nicholas61]

If we lose 3.11 since kicking 6 straight has given them the stranglehold.

 

[Mercurial89]

Kelly clearly tackled without the ball

play on

How many times are you going to whinge about the umps? Often wrongly.


It's a good game of football, enjoy it.

 

[Yoda_]

Thats not what happened, open your eyes.

and incorrect disposal if my eyes aren't deceiving me

 

[fishardansin]

We had most of that quarter on our terms ... lost it by 2 points.

So frustrating.

 

[Beerfish]

That first quarter though.

 

[NoWuckingFurries]

That quarter was our chance to get a nice 2-3 goal buffer. Pissed it away. Just like our first quarter lead

just writing play on to keep a tab of the incorrect decision costing us

 

[quotemokc]

Surely Hind comes on for Draper or Goldy?

Time to swing Martin forward

 

[MiguelM]

Turnovers killing us.

 

[Phone]

He had no prior and was gang tackled immediately.

Come off it.

There's this weird thing in football where chase down tackles lead to everyone being red hot on HTB calls, umpires themselves. I don't think that's HTB but I've been surprised enough times to now be hopeful/worried when those type of incidents happen

 

[sameolds33]

Let's not let us have a repeat of the Sydney game. 4 quarters...need to play to the end.

 

[boncer34]

I know I've kicked him already but Kelly standing and waiting for Elliot to get back up instead of going back into a defensive position shitted me. He could easily have run back 20m defensive side and still picked Elliot up on the way back.

 

[gillon]

We just CANNOT lock it in our 50 when we were good at that before

I wonder why. You’d think Goldstein/Draper and Wright would be applying great pressure.

 

[JayJ20]

Plenty of chances that quarter but we haven't taken them. Only 1 point behind so it goes without saying that we're right in it.

 

[Goat Hird]

Jake missing those bunnies

 

[tha Freak]

Hey, what a game! Things could be better, things could be worse. Down to one quarter. Who wants it???

 

[Yoda_]

Umpires aren't a problem here .. it is Essendon not winning in the contest and then spilling marks in the hot spot

decision making is costing us. Laughable some of the skill errors on top of the decision making that have cost us


Goal kicking has been good all year has all of a sudden avoided us today as well. Missed far to many gettable shots today

 

[Call Me Cake]

McGrath has been good this quarter.

Been good all year.

Hi JT_the_Man

 

[mike14]

Just not enough class where it's needed and a few too many errors that good teams take advantage of. Been a good effort against a good team so far. Let's see what we can do in the last

 

[The Donners]

Whilst you’re right, they have been inconsistent. The holding the ball against Hobbs in the first when he got a handball off should’ve set the tone.

 

[Mercurial89]

just writing play on to keep a tab of the incorrect decision costing us

You honestly believe the umps are costing us?

Could you be any more one eyed.

 

[Goat Hird]

Who to sub? To many options
