It didn't take long for them to lose 'The Edge'

Decided to check out bf!   Thought I wold drop by and share their comments:

  • Gather round sucks!
  • This team is trash. Make a statement at selection. Embarrassing.
  • I ******* hate being a fan of the most pathetic club in the competition.
  • And now hopefully people see why Scott said it’s an 8 year plan and not 3 or whatever.
  • Essendon Edge? More like Essendon lay down and die.
  • Amazing example of an arrogant upstart team coming in and thinking ‘if we do what we do, we don’t have to worry about the opposition’, and the getting absolutely ****ing smashed for their hubris and naivety.
  • absolutely owned. outworked and outclassed.
  • Finally, it feels like a normal season again. Was feeling a bit weird there for a hot minute.
  • Every year it's the same s**t. We knock off dawks, norf, etc
  • Maybe have a "breakout" win against 'aints or whoever, have a chance to make a statement (even if we don't win) and what happens. We s**t the bed.
  • No composure when we had the ball and no pressure when we didn’t.
  • Is draper undroppable ? The hype around this bloke is ******* hysterical
  • Parish … 6 years for a bloke we don’t need.
  • Fair to say its the same stuff with this group - against the big clubs/games & adversity(interstate away games) we are soft, weak & unskillful.
  • There are no positives to that game. None. Zero. … Need to burn the entire list and start again post Dodo. We have no speed, no skills, no grunt, no winners …Same s**t, different year.
  • Kinda tempted to have an all time melt but don’t have the energy for this s**t anymore.  We undid every positive from the first 3 rounds. Lots of work to even cement ourselves as a mid table team.
  • Get someone from the Melbourne Storm to teach those soft pretty boys how to tackle for a start.
  • Our style is flat track bullies.
  • Calling it, season over.
  • Huge% loss tonight. Now an uncompetitive 82%.
  • i am essenDONE
  • Need more AFL lifestyle

The Understatement

  • A bit s**t

A hint of optimism:

  • Need to put this behind us as quick as possible and use it as a reality check.

 My Favourite:

  • Oh well, where was the Edge? They lied, we were on the Edge of a cliff!

Can't agree with this comment: 

  • Cats V Power GF, calling it now. 

I had the Dees in the GF before the season even started.  Stand by that.  Don't care who we play, probably GWS.

 

My wish for Ess is not to be stuck at the bottom of the ladder as they would reap early draft picks.  My wish is for them to be forever stuck in the wilderness of a mid tier team.  Hoping like hell that Collingwood join them there for a long time to come!!

 

Enjoy the season D'landers.  It will be a very good one.

    This poster from Bomberblitz at least has a sense of humour:

    Just after half time I was having a conversation with Mrs hambo about a house we had recently bid on and missed. Turns out the top bidders have dubious finance and may not come through with the money meaning that it may fall to us. This distracted me from the footy but also from my glass of red wine which I knocked making it rock side to side and spill wine on the table and rug. I then rectified the situation by grabbing from another direction with the other hand. Unfortunately this exaggerated the rocking effect and more wine fell on the floor, my shirt and the couch. I countered with a big catch which didn’t go so well and I smacked the glass into the wall and now have red wine and broken glass absolutely everywhere.
    who played it better?
    hambo?
    Essendon?

    Dodoro doesn't get enough credit for bringing the whole AFL world the joy of 7000 plus days of no Essendon success in September. Here's to another 500.

    Good luck with the new house hambo- any luck you’ll get it and not have to fix the wall

    What’s the reasoning behind why Dodoro has kept his job? I’ve been hearing for decades now how bad he has done for Essendon

    if i was in charge of the peptides, i'd let McGrath go as a free agent at the end of the year if you got a band 1 compo pick for him

    pros:
    - he is clearly a leader around the club
    - he speaks will in the media

    cons:
    - if he's a leader, what does it say about their leadership?
    - he can't play midfield (cos he's too slow)
    - he's not the #1 rebound defender (that's martin)
    - he's arguably not their #2 rebound defender (that's laverde)
    - he's not 'smart' enough to play on the #1 small forward (rioli tore him to shreds in the first half, which was all i saw)

    so is he really worth keeping given he's probably going to want to be paid like a #1 pick expects to be?

    I always thought Draper was horribly over rated. He just flails around being semi physically dangerous because of his size and every now and then a thing happens not as a result of skill, talent etc but as a result of pure chance. Inevitably if you flail around on a football field for long enough something will happen.

    I was talking to an Essendon supporter after the Dees/Hawks game.  He said Essendon were still talking about the glory days of the 80's and that generation has too much influence.  Sheedy is on the board.....reckons it was his direct call not to pick Selwood.

    They will remain a joke so long as Dodo gets to run rampant throughout that organisation. Here’s hoping they sign him up for another 10 years.

    He is loved by the old Sheedy crew. There are ex-bombers who are life members that support him to the hilt.

    I thought Port were good against us and had really smart structures against us. The Port fans were filthy but they did alot right.

    Connor Rozee might be the best player in the league but he couldn't dominate against viney, petracca and clarry

    He looks AVERAGE as hell. For a big defender he doesn’t impose himself on the game at all. You hardly notice him. Watching May play, it’s impossible not to see him.

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
