The Swimming Dee

Umpiring was diabolical. Great game by Big Benny Briwn tonight…just needed to nail those first two. I could be wrong but I feel like we are loading our training real hard at the moment and will start to look better next week. Did I mention the umpiring…so amateur

The most diabolical umpiring I have seen in 35 years of watching football. Need to start teaching our players to throw the ball and forget the handball…what a disgrace

Goody, please move Kossie into the middle and throw Viney forward for a while

Are games in Melbourne still likely to go ahead...just without crowds? Sorry if i missed info on this already

He’s our coach and deserves huge praise...love the bloke!

Is Tom Browne OK? this might not be the thread for it but he seems like an ok guy..f me, he is a strange cat though

Why was Salem in a tracksuit top?

We are getting hammered in the middle...that’s the issue

Can we please put 10 year contracts in front of Jacko, Riv and Kossie...what an amazing draft for us

Carey - that’s a massive penalty. What did you get for assaulting a police officer after you assaulted your girlfriend Wayne?

JJ is a gun!

Jordon having a good game

Missing Langdon

Why the hell are Brisbane wearing red socks after we couldn’t wear our jumper last week...total AFL amateur hour

The loss of Langdon for this game cannot be underestimated. He always provides an option as an out when a player is in trouble

He looks like a natural footballer

Highlights packages are only ever exactly that...but Turner looks like a natural footballer which with a great kicking action

What a horrible club - I hate Essendon

It’s called tall poppy syndrome...we are a tall poppy. I agree with Little Goffy. It is a rubbish headline. The Indigenous Round is very important and we as a club have shown great respect (as we should) for a long time

6 James Harmes 5 Clayton Oliver 4 Angus Brayshaw 3 Jake Lever 2 Nibbler 1 Trent Rivers Spargo, May and Gawn also deserve votes...it was a complete team performance

What happened to Langdon?

One of my favourite players. Huge work rate and you know he is happy to sacrifice for the team. Skills have improved hugely this year. He is the type of player that is very important in a premiership quest. Well done Nibbler and well deserved!

I think Saturday night’s game was the best he has played...it was an amazing performance!

Shall they address the apology to you personally or to the club? Terrible non-call by the umpire but we put ourself in that position. Bad night...we were always going to lose at some stage and hopefully it is a good re-set

So you think we will win 4 of the last 12? That’s the only way we might finish 8th mate. We had a bad game and looked tired. At the start of the year I would have put my house on us not being 9-1...we are in a very good position
