POSTGAME: Rd 03 vs Essendon

[Drunkn167 5,093]

Give Keilty another 2 weeks to prove form before coming in

 

 

But mostly because I don’t wanna fly up to Sydney for his debut hahahah

[waynewussell 6,962]

Look!!!! Anyone who thinks the criticism of the umpires is just scapegoat searching needs to do some simple, and documented research. The free kicks that were dubious (even to Wanka Carey!!!!) came whenever we looked like mounting a challenge... The umpires had an agenda!!! It is so @@####ing obvious!!! Do the re-watch folks... Stop searching for the players to blame and jot down the umpire number who made the decision! We have suffered from this for a long long time... and we will continue to suffer until the corruption (ok, if yo want to be kind... ineptitude, is exposed by data)

We fair dinkum need Benny Hill music when we play.
Especially Frost and Omac.

 

Some of the mistakes by Frost and OMac are laughable, I honestly don’t think they’re good enough for Casey 

[BrisbaneDemon 1,575]

Tonight’s observations:

Tom McDonald looks like he has concrete in his boots, He looks like a poor mans Pederson/ Dawes

opposition teams must lick their lips at Frost and Omac in the back line.  God they’re dreadful footballers

ANB is the new iron hands of the team

Totally out of form: Hibberd, Jones, Tmac, Petracca, Fritesh, 

struggling with form: Jetta, Viney, Melksham

we’re so unfit it is staggering.  I might give the next few weeks a miss

 

[JV7 2,375]

Season is absolutely gone. I wish I could say I'm done with this mob but I'm off to Sydney next week, what a waste of time, money & effort. So [censored] off. 

[Bitter but optimistic 22,289]

1. Just not good enough 

2. I don’t usually complain about umpiring but that was a confusing, inconsistent and sub standard effort 

[Red But Mostly Blue 4,625]

Seriously, how have we allowed ourselves to be overtaken by everyone else, again?

We set ourselves up last year. We finally broke the finals shackles, and hoodoos against some teams, like the cats. But here we are, apparently an 80-point worse team against the cats, a loss to the bombers who have thus far been a joke. So much so that there are murmurs of that drug cheat Hird returning to the club?

Was it the rule changes? Nope, because we have all had the same time to adapt. Are we tired? What the hell!? It's round 3 and it looks like we're slugging it out after a long season. Where is the heart? Why are the Cats playing out of their skins (weren't they 'done' last year), why are the Bulldogs playing good footy with a mixed list? Why are the Lions firing? Why the hell did Goody's contract get extended without some proof this year? He's been outcoached every game this year! He is always reacting, never ahead of the curve, and his stupid smirk at the presser is driving me nuts. He's being paid a lot of money, tell us how he's going to fix this... not that it will get better over time, or that am 80 point drubbing is a positive sign.

What is happening?!!

[Optimus D 283]

Any talk of tanking yet. How’s the draft prospects looking??

Jones needs to relinquish captaincy. We aren’t going anywhere with him at the helm.

Jones was far from worst

Umpires the worst I’ve ever seen

Was there a sale on Aluminum foil?

[btdemon 482]

I've got a feeling Goody is going to talk about "Connection". FAAAARRRCKKK!  We won round the centre, just like we did against Geelong. Essendon just play better footy, just like Geelong did. We are F....wits! So many dumb footballers. So sick of it!!!!!

 

[Wiseblood 24,637]

Tom Mac to CHB.  Frost or O Mac out.  Take your pick.

Keilty to play at CHF, pinch hitting in the ruck.

It's something to do with the cattle we have.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

I hate to say it but we need Frost on Franklin next week, he’s our only option.

The more I think about the game, the more I feel our main problems are twofold:

1. Poise. We get heaps of the ball, we get repeated inside 50 entries, then fold under little or no pressure. I am not expecting players to play without any errors, but more to have a consistent mindset over the ball that minimizes skill and decision making mistakes. 

2. Intensity. We can't play a full quarter at the same intensity, let alone an entire game. And often we have whole quarters where every player looks like they are running through mud or jogging around. 

 

3. We don't seem to understand structure

The scary thing is T.Mac is a worse defender then he is forward

First play of the match. Jones hacks it forward, we're outnumbered, they run it out and goal. 

 

Very resembling, Simon

[waynewussell 6,962]

I never once heard the commentators indicate that Melbourne received a fortunate free... I heard them question at least 8 frees to Bombers... Time to mobilise folks... bend over and take it or take action to expose this trend against us!

What happening where poorly coached; have a spine which is bottom four and spent our riches on two injury prone defenders.

[davo 209]

ANB, a midfielder had 8 touches

Is he a worse defender than what Oscar or Frost are currently bringing to the table?  May is still a few weeks away, Lever even longer.  We need to try something.

[MaysSoreGroin 23]

that injury list off to the side on the forum....we are totally [censored]

 

[olisik 4,060]

We should just get rid of Misson now before he [censored] up another player.

Him and Troy Chaplin can [censored] right off

Seems to me TMac is a big part of the problem, all those forward entries and he just doesn't get near it.
