GAMEDAY: Rd 03 vs Essendon

[Jaded No More 68,976]

How clever we are to give Goodwin another 3 years before he could prove that last year wasn’t a total [censored] fluke. 

Embarrasing. 

[waynewussell 6,962]

That last play in the final seconds of the Qtr sums up what we are up against! "Play on, play on, play on" screams the ump and the Bomber player casually drops the ball to the turf in the tackle!!!! No further whistle for holding the ball will be entered into! I doubt the blokes who do the stats will even bother registering the tackle!!!

for any other coach this start to the year would be sackable.

This is [censored] putrid.

It's smelling very amateurish at the very least Praha.

We are 3 weeks in and apart from a few isolated pieces of good play we are a complete rabble from the get go.

The selections are also bewildering and Goody forecasts them by saying earlier in the week (re questions from press about  Max getting targeted and needing some help) something like "We are happy with Max blah blah".

So many dumb pieces of play.  So many sluggish footballers that have no burst speed and look like they've just played 4 quarters in a wet bog.

Goody the buck stops with you mate.

I’m shocked at how bad we are.

Genuinely cant believe it.

Me too DW. Our defence is 2013/standard. And we look like we,re second guessing every time we have the ball. We’re heading for another 80/plus thrashing . 

[waynewussell 6,962]

The free against Jetta to Bulldogs reject was evidence of an ump who really wants to give a present to Bulldog reject!

Yet another weekend ruined

At least it’s out of the way early, nothing worse than waiting all weekend and then this happens.

This just seems like 2007 all over again. Such a disappointment after such a great season. What happened
