Game Day Round 8, 2022: Essendon v Hawthorn 7:25pm May 7th, @ Marvel

[Nugett]

We really missed Nash tonight

 

[Mitchell Madness]

I doubt we'd beat North with this rubbish. Midfield not running defensively, everyone being drawn to the ball. It's panic style play without any structure.

Mitch will be furious.

This is the north Melbourne game from last year, almost identical

 

[hawker11]

Precisely why Mitchell wanted to move on the senior players - no backbone and weak as ****

 

[user33]

Players like hind and redman always cause us problems. Watch them both be shithouse next week.

 

[J Shuttlesworth]

Still 3 or 4 years away aren't we.

Always where.

 

[goldfinger]

One of the more insipid performances I've seen. Hope this burns the players for years to come.

 

[Pessimistic]

I saw newk on the ground well away from the ball several times. Good luck to the bombers our others should have stepped up

 

[Hungdaddy]

We are bad! Bloody hell there's a lot of work to do before we compete.

 

[IdiotBox]

yep. this is membership card burning territory, how embarrassing.

 

[kazzooka]

I feel fans are being pretty rough on the side.

We should have wrapped this up prior to Q4, but going into the last without an established ruck with a subpar midfield, was always going to be dicey.

Just failing to take our chances.

It sucks, but hopefully gives Mitch ammunition to start making some big calls. We just need to stop getting bloody injuries to key personnel. We just cannot get momentum.

That and some players need to be stuck in front of the goal and learn to shoot again.

We have one of the healthiest lists. Just no depth. Essendon had 5 late outs ffs.

 

[Come back Cyril]

Similar to the Sydney game. We can't run out these high tempo games.

 

[Baz_hawk]

Commentators talking like we are the reigning premiers. Media had us fighting for the spoon yet somehow this is a miracle win lmao

 

[lethalselbow]

 

[Billyc]

Newk ran out of puff like he tends to - and we had absolutely nobody else able to chip in through the middle. Appalling display

 

[MinerBoy]

Waste dominance you lose.

Absolutely deserve this. This game should have been locked away and hour ago. Basically handed this to them

Umpires rubbing salt in now

 

[Buzz Hawk]

Few of the senior blokes need to have a good hard look at themselves, looking at you Worpel, Mitchell, Impey.

 

[Lickmesocks]

Let’s be brutally honest, we copped what we deserved .

We missed sitters early in the game and should of been 8 goals up. You give a team a sniff and this is what happens.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

We are a bottom four team. The dead cat bounce at the start of the season fooled everyone.

 

[HedgeFund]

I’m watching a team which has beaten North (who are horrible) Port (who started horribly) and had a surprise win over Geelong.

We are 3-4 for a reason.

No ticker. No reason to be cocky. Bombers have jumped us and it will be interesting to see if/how we respond.

Bumped for relevance.

Mindset was poor from the start. That is a coaching issue.

What happens between the ears, and the lack of willingness to fight (a la Sydney), is something the coaching staff can, and must, address.

This is a critical loss which can’t be swept away as “learnings”. Kudos to Essendon for having the balls to rock up and have a crack despite their horrific player losses.

100%.

'win for the ages' 'miracle'

Spare me

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Two embarrassing last quarters in the last 3 games

 

[user33]

One of the more insipid performances I've seen. Hope this burns the players for years to come.

Don’t think they’ll care that much it seems

 

[Pessimistic]

Only consolation all those empty bomber members seats missed this

 

[Kuuz]

yep. this is membership card burning territory, how embarrassing.

With that mentality, you could be a shoe in for part of the leadership team based on tonights performance
