Autopsy Saints kick the Bombers butts far into the future.

[SaintsSeptember]

Essendon stank, make no bones about it?

But we did what teams should do when they play teams that are stinking it up, and that is play your way and let the scoreboard take care of itself.

Lots of our players had really good games and the forward line is looking better every week without Max, that's not me saying trade Max, that's clearly crazy talk, but train him in the ruck position over summer to add another dimension to not only his own game, but also the teams. We have been so predictable for years now , it's why we "bombed", but look how more flexible our forward line has looked with a diverse mix of forward options.

We made them stink.

Club made the right decision letting Gresham walk.

Great stuff Saints. Made by day, weekend, week, year. Well maybe not year.

Too early for a proper dissection but hopefully the penny is going to drop about Max. We need to fit Max into our system not build our system around Max and make him carry the weight of the world on his shoulders.

17 goals two weeks in a row. 16 v Brisbane and 13 v Swans shows what a versatile, mobile forward line can do.

 

[PoppedCorn]

But how many sharp turns did he make?

To be fair , i think that Cairnsman has already changed his stance on Cooper.

he was rather consistently vocal about him being average

we have plenty of time left on the we forgive you meter

 

[Diehard Saint]

Every bit of that game was fantastic. Not a single player you could look at and say they didn't contribute.

It speaks volumes that we didn't bother activating our sub.

May Essendon go another 7,000 days without a final win

Not one player had less than 10 disposals.
Bombers had 7.

What a bloody good game.
The kids were great - Cooper, Caminiti and Cowens ( oops Owens).
When last did we see marks and goal kicking like that?

 

[Rogue Warrior]

Hard to unpack this puzzle: I can’t workout whether King doesn’t lead so our mids kick it up in the air or Our mids see King and just decide to put it on his head. I’m a huge fan of king and I still believe he’ll be a super player but we genuinely have looked better going forward without him.

Come on Cairnsman. Join the Cooper love.

 

[cartwright]

Think I’ll watch that again

 

[stavro#4]

If Battle stays (post match interview doesn’t give confidence)

I’m going all in on Oliver.

**** it. I want quality mids in this side. We would be top 6 if we had 2 of them.

 

[PoppedCorn]

Candy Stripes baby
bring em back

 

[beside the seaside]

thought carey was significant tonight



edit: sharman** sorry

Thought you meant Owens....

We have two Carey's

 

[stavro#4]

We have two Carey's

Developing alright

 

[Plugger35]

Easy to get caught up in all the Sharman hype, I'm guilty as charged, but this NWM guy goes alright too., He's got electric boots.

Post match interview gave me plenty of Confidence.
And have you seen any good work from Oliver recently.

Phillipou coming back in and playing well gives me more confidence than Oliver would.
We need to improve our midfield yes, but Oliver aint the guy.

Yep got the same vibe from Battle - very non committal- hopefully we are both wrong

Candy Stripes baby

[sverik25]

Nice to see Nas get a goal as reward for his fantastic form.

Hard to believe for such a good kick he was 0.6 for the year coming into today.

 

[Tom12]

I've been super critical of him this year, but Bonner's last few weeks have been really good.
He's added something to our backline and provided a good outlet on the rebound.

 

[Cairnsman]

West Adelaide are going to have a pretty handy SANFL player when we delist him at the end of the yeah, hey Cairnsman

Where would he be without virgourous encouragement! He's welcome.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

I think Essendon Football Club should change their song to this one.

 

[Leap of Faith]

he was rather consistently vocal about him being average

we have plenty of time left on the we forgive you meter

Not really necessary

 

[EddieMurphy]

Come on Cairnsman. Join the Cooper love.

He has moved on to relentlessly bagging King.

 

[Saints TV]

SEXYYYY FOOTY

 

[SaintsSeptember]

He has moved on to relentlessly bagging King.

King should play VFL until he can push Hammer or Sharman out.

Brad Scott press conference

Constantly taking breaths, just the pouty face and woe is us, we were trash...
