How good are Essendon playing since Neeld got the axe

Should have beaten Cats, Pies and Port. But crumbled dismally. That would’ve set us up for a serious assault, but they don’t want it.

Exactly

I’m toying with the idea of playing Jones as the small forward, thinking of my 22 which I’ll do tomorrow

I don’t have time for anyone, online or in real life, who lie and don’t admit they’re wrong. The end. Besides, look at the way he speaks to posters who ask him simple questions. Big 3 games coming up for dees, percentage and wins important

Good post, agree with all of it.

31 frees already 21-10

Osteitis pubis anyone?

He’s what I hope Salem can become but I’m not convinced

Kade Simpson is exactly the player we need x 2

Yep and I don’t understand why a team that’s predominantly got white in their uniform isn’t made to wear the white shorts, regardless of being at home. A Carlton win would let us out of jail a bit

Proud of the effort, no doubt. Just concerned that we’re not going as well as last year so far, I’m not convinced. Lack skill and pace No more whacky positional changes Leadership needs addressing, Jones is the biggest culprit We need to stop losing games at team selection, not that it was the reason Fri night. Should not have lost that game but at least we showed up and showed some heart Need to replace Vince at EOY with the next Hodge

Saty if you’re replying to me don’t bother, I blocked you a week ago, enjoy.

I agree Tigers aren’t a very skilful side, they seem to win games on sheer will and desperation. They’re an odd team to watch

My point was more they’re poorly skilled bar Oliver. Most of our side is very ordinary with their kicking, at the moment, the only one I’d back in is Melksham. Top picks, Martin/Cotchin next level with their kicking compared to Oliver/Petracca/Brayshaw and Viney is terrible.

No I’m not, we have no stars to win games. And we especially don’t have any leaders to do it, they go missing. Just my thoughts, not here to argue. Think we need a bit of a rejig

They worked hard, but for 10 years we still haven’t got skill or leadership in big games.

Been happening for two years mate, disgrace

He is the biggest Milker of frees in the comp & worse than Selwood. Runs and throws his arms in the air all the time, [censored] me

Because we are using Joel Smith and Hibberd for a KPD role, it’s ludicrous and beyond stupidity. Bring in Frost or Petty and those guys go back to the HBF and perform roles more suited to them and provide run. Even Goodwin said on radio yesterday we went in too short. No [censored] Sherlock

Rule of the week exists, it’s what makes fans exasperated, so much inconsistency

Another thing I’ve noticed recently is why are they calling play on so quickly after a mark, the player hardly has enough time to get back and take his kick before they call play on, often resulting in a rushed kick and turnover. Obvious v Pies, they seemed to have more time and then again v Port.

Because we’re not as good as demonland pumpers and do gooders reckon, weve beaten nobody, flat track bullies. I preferred last year when we beat Crows and WCE away personally

You’ve got even more whacky new rules coming in October. All they need to do is umpire the game better. Whateley was the driving force behind the state of the game, now it’s escalated out of control.

All clubs should seriously put the heat on the afl, especially publically in pressers, it’s not the necessarily the umps fault, Gil has changed the rules so many times and interpretations that everyone is confused, supporters, commentators, players. I’m still going to say that it’s rigged to even up games to make the afl look better, don’t care what anyone says. I started a thread last year and was privately messaged by an ex police commissioner and investigator stating he fully supported my views, funny that. The whole game is corrupt. Draw, umpiring, fixturing, MRP. Different rules for different people/organisations
