Certified Legendary Thread We Are Essington - Return of the KING

hes back

Agreed. It’s a savage attack on the senses.

As distinct to a savage attack on the ball.

Stat in the paper today. GWS as a team covered 242 kms. Essendon 147kms.
That sums it up I reckon. Unbelievable! How is that even possible!!! All our players (on average) more than 1km less than their opponent EVERY QUARTER.

This is wrong and has been proven wrong many times.

We were shit but we did run aro u nd the same as GWS (we were the two lowest teams as well)

Normally the team that is worse actually ends up running more so I expect we actually technically covered a few more km's than GWS in actuality. The real key is not how much you run but how much of the high intensity sprinting stuff. It doesn't matter if we have players like Heppell and Zaharakis going at a slow job all day long, racking up km's, its the sprint efforts that make the impact both offensively and defensively. Sprinting offensively is also a good indicator that there was space to work with and we had clean possession of the ball. I'd expect GWS killed us in these areas.

Incorrect stat? Was front and centre on the back of the Australian.

But thank god. Though the terrifying part is that it looked to the naked eye like it was probably true.

That stat has been proven to be false. Our GPS malfunctioned for a period. If the papers are still quoting that stat they are doing a very bad job of basic research.

Mind you, it doesn't change the fact that we still stunk it up about as much as is humanly possible.

 

[rumply]

Meeja being w***ers if they are still quoting that stat

 

[vass44]

We are a disfunctional average side - no forward line. I reserve the right to take this all back if we get up and smash the Saints

That's unlike Murdoch's papers to be publishing sensationalist bullshit. Completely out of character

Man that is so so bad it’s actually funny.

Deplorable tragic stuff of biblical proportions.

How the #### can it happen...hopefully it was all just a bizarre one off day.

 

[Vander18]

Gold.

I know Zerrett has been copping it but the sequence 20 seconds in is, even more than being indefensible, unexplainable.

 

[CBombers17]

Mckenna would have to be nervous watching that but I think he missed out?

Great to re-wire the brain with laughter instead of trauma watching that fiasco.

Edit; McGrath should have Rodney Hogg style outfield dives rather than battle so hard looking terrible in the process.

 

[Shanghaistu]

Is that also available with the Benny Hill chase theme song?

 

[Blind Turn]

How can something be so damn funny and so goddamn unfunny at the same time? This is what footy does to us people... this is what it does... we’re all completely mental wanting to have anything to do with it...

So I made an appearance in the video - was unfortunate enough to be in the crowd on Sunday. You can see me put my head into my hands right as zaharakis turns the ball over to an uncontested gws player.

 

[SherbertLemon]

Okay i'm going to admit something i'm not proud of.

When i was at the airport sunday night wondering why the heck i'd bothered, i nearly bumped into ambrose and mckenna walking in the terminal.

After the initial shock, and as we all awkwardly headed towards the departure gates, i just ****ing glared at Mckenna. We both knew what i was thinking, it was a good 3 seconds of eye contact.

I was being a shit bloke. Players don't deserve that shit. But after watching their work on this video a small part of me is glad connor saw how pissed off one of their supporters were who wasted hundreds going to watch them impersonate witches hats.

 

[windyhill]

Quality.
****ing two bob campaigners ! Quality

Absolutely spot on, Brilliantly done, POTY nomination. Dare say if Baggers is selected again and we lose, problem solved

 

[Cold Sober]

If there was a stat for dog running we would have broken every record. At least during the suspension year we were watchable

 

[Shanghaistu]

I thought the skill levels of those 4th division VFA players recruited for the video would be better... some of them did resemble real Essendon players though

We are Essington - we are Essington!

cant even get a GPS unit to work for more than a half of football, we have resorted to recruiting lazy computer components now - think its time for a new software upgrade, I don't think you can blame the hardware, the previous system 1.0 just isn't working

I'm pleased that the numbers were corrected and no longer look so pathetic, but the fact that a lot of us looked at those numbers and didn't even debate them for a second speaks volumes.

Fair call, but the rabid lunacy is normally confined to the front two thirds of the paper or the column of that giant nong Patrick Smith. Most other sport reporting is usually pretty sane.

It’s almost like the boys wanted this thread to succeed and have banded together to provide some A grade footy comedy for this weeks instalment.
