Umpires gave us 3 goals when the game was truly over

Disgraceful evening up I have ever seen- umpire no 22 take a bow

I’m shocked, it’s not just us!!

I actually think he is getting better as an umpire. Or more consistent in his decisions

And the best one:

"the mummified corpse of mark jamar would’ve offered more than draper"

Any chance we can borrow that corpse and warm it up for next weekend in Perth?

We lost hit-outs by 16, but won clearance by 12.

This is your typical Essendon supporter. Gone the early crow at qtr time when they were 1 point up. They think they're better than who & what they are. We may not be that good but christ we haven't allowed Dyson Heppell to play 250 games for us!

Surely there is something about the umpires?

That will be at year's end the most unanswered question of the year.

And it should go to the AFL Commission.

My long held belief, it isnt who wins the tap out, it only matters once it hits the ground

What if the midfielder roves it off the tap out?

Essendon Fans Blaming Umpires on Facebook is always brilliant reading after the Verucas go under. After most wins too. Talk about victim complex.

Umpire 22 doesn't even try to hide his distain for us anymore. It's blatantly obvious.

Funny I thought Draper was one of their best. Better than petty though Harrison and JvR nullified a lot of their essenscums dominence. I see the bummers as like the blue baggers two years ago 

Draper was terrible. He got a few touches around the ground but generally just bombed his kick long (1/2 times to a Demons player). A decent to good ruck would’ve taken the game by the nuts, given he was playing against two non-rucks.

Bombers fans are the English football fans of the AFL.

They arrogantly expect to win

Probably a lovely person, and I can see how he's a fan favourite, but there are players who are "characters" off the field, and professional on it.. and there players whose "zaniness" translate into on-field stuff that gets an A+ from the "sport is entertainment" crowd but isn't great for people who like seeing their team win. 

Draper spends too much time doing "funny" stuff, and not enough doing the solid stuff everyone expects from all players, but especially ruckman. I reckon Petty and van Rooyen were solid on Saturday, but I also think Goldstein would have given them a bath.

7,305 will bring up 20 years

what a time to be alive

Is there a week off before finals again this season? Because the Bombers have a September 4th deadline to avoid the 20-year mark and the week off would start finals on the 6th.

The last time Essendon won a final without Kevin Sheedy coaching; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1968_in_Australia

Wow, you do not think of Kylie Minogue and Penny Wong, or Hugh Jackman and Scott Morrison, as being the same age.

I could almost be satisfied missing top-4 just to play Essendon in an elimination final and crush their dirty cheating entitled souls.

There is on YouTube a podcast called Absolutely Essendon, (latest episode from a days ago). Unfortunately I don’t have the skill to put the link up, but easy to find. Very amusing and good to watch. The two presenters certainly don’t hold back. Well worth a look.

The opposite of someone on gameday thread who called game over when we were 2 goals behind.

Told a mate who doesn't come on here, watch umpire 22 he'll pay a frees against and you'll think wtf was that for. Thought we'd gotten off okay until the last 10 minutes then bang. Just when you least expect it.

There basically Collingwood supporters with slightly better jobs and cars.

The sad thing is I'm pretty confident there was almost exactly the same post in the DL game day thread.

Ummm sorry Jibroni, your implying that Cwood supporters actually have some sort gainful employment.

If turning up at centre link by video on a stolen phone counts  then ok, I'll give you that.
