Far better game swans and giants but there is something about the commentators doing the swans games. We had McInerny for ages but now it seems it is Russell ( I think) that keeps on having strange orgasms over their players. I find it quite odd and unnecessary.

[The heart beats true 18,183]

Dwayne Is the worst commentator in the AFL - not that the others are any good, but he insists on adding Americanisms to our game, and all it does it takeaway what is special about the AFL. I actually forgot how much I dislike when he calls.

swans vs gw$ super entertaining

ollie florent is a jet

[BDA 22,987]

Tom Greene is a beast

[Thehardtackler 785]

Some guy tried to tell me the other day that Rutten and a couple of other AFL coaches, privately do not rate Goodwin as a coach. Well I am sorry but after today if I was Rutten I would shut up and concentrate on keeping his own job!

If Rutten's men keep performing like that, I hope he coaches Essendon for ever.

If this is fact, and I'm not sure it would be, I have a next door neighbour who suggested that if his Goldfish sits at the bottom of the bowl then he never bets on his team. But if the Goldfish floats, then.... he gets another Goldfish!!

Anyone who now Doesn't rate Goody needs to take a look at our Stellar 2021 and acknowledge what a fantastic job this man did!

[Nascent 9,305]

Green, Taranto, Kelly, Congilio, Whitefield, Hoppper, Greene, Ward.

This team should be pushing hard for a flag this season. 

[BDA 22,987]

This is a cracking game. Both teams are super sharp. Ball use exceptional

My way too early call - both teams make top 4

I don't know for certain but rumour was GWS was happy to take Jackson if we put a bid on Green.  Probably would have been better for their list management too.

I remember someone mentioning that here back around that draft I think, could have even been yourself. Taylor absolutely loved Green, I'm a fan of him now too, but he ended up leaning the right way hey!

[McQueen 17,867]

Just watched Ben Ruttens presser. 
 

I kid you not him and Gill McLaughlin could be twins!

well - not really

even if we'd nominated him there was no way gw$ wouldn't match the bid

and if they hadn't we wouldn't have dogga and i'll definitely take dogga over the mini-clayton that is tom green

They seem upset on Bomberblitz

Just at the start

 

Fine, I’ll start.

6 months to prepare for this game. 6 months.

6 months to develop a semblance of a structure that may actually be competitive. To work out how to deliver the ball to our forwards. To work out how to not let it waltz from one end of the ground to another. To learn how to make use of kick ins. To freaking mark the ball. Hit a 1m target with a handball.

6 months to even look like you wanted to be out there. ■■■■ me. They looked like they had been dragged out against their will.

The signs were there in the St Kilda game, but it’s ok, we were just changing things up, just toying with them.

Complete and utter failure by our coaching panel. Truck may be good at creating content for the website but there is absolutely nothing to suggest he can develop and coach a football team.

Get ■■■■■■ with your scripted videos. Get ■■■■■■ you soulless, vacuous void of a football club. Scotty from marketing has more substance. You are nothing.

 

i dont think it an overreaction to fold the club

 

Sat in the sun for the game.
Beer cues crazy long
Geelong fans acting like arrogant flogs
We were appalling
…and yet I’m still kinda glad footy is back

 

 

Essendon Football Club

Where talent comes to die.

 

happy to be at the footy on a sunny day after two years of not being able to do that much. essendon still puts the “fun” in “lack of fundamental ball skills”

When’s cricket season start

[Nascent 9,305]

As entertaining as this game is, I don't think the coaches will be happy with the scores they're conceding.

[Demonland 73,358]

Buddy desperate for the milestone ahead of doing the team things. 

[Kit Walker 225]

Sydney's key backs are McCartin, McCartin and a 31yo Rampe. Not worried
