Game over. Worst performance since 2019. Easily.

Essendon is the most mid team in the league. They're not even playing that well. Which makes this all the more frustrating to watch.

Draper. Sam. [censored]. Draper.

10 marks inside 50 for Essendon.

10 marks inside 50 for Essendon.

Melksham kicking a bag against the Bombers would make a win that bit more special.

Everyone complaining about Kayo. Pay a bit extra a month for Foxtel. Better value and a better overall football experience. Anyway, Essendon got 4 goals either directly from free kicks or from free kicks up the ground. Most probably there but debateable given they weren't called both ways. They are targeting our backline because of no Lever, pretty obvious. Their strings of possesion were very concerning. Especially given they aren't a very fast team. Draper tearing us up is giving me an aneurysm. If Stringer gets involved next, I'll vomit.

5 marks inside 50 in a quarter is horrid defence.

Essendon is so average. We look well below them atm.

Almost all of Essendon's score has come from free kicks.

Living in and around Essendon for the past 20 years, I've come to realise that Essendon supporters are essentially an affluent version of the Richmond supporter. Their version of the game is essentially "The umpire is always wrong, everyone is always out to get us, we have a rightful place amongst the greats, the league is grateful of our existence." Being at The Lincoln Arms or Royal during an Essendon game is truly nauseating, with 10-20 of them spreading out across enough seats and tables for 50 people, sipping on red wine and Pure Blonde. Don't make eye contact, no sudden movements. Avoid football small talk with an Essendon supporter at all costs: your eyes will roll so hard into your skull, you'll do a 360 flip. Anyway, Melbourne by 32 points.

Our kicks just always seem to fall short.

This umpiring is something else.

Langdon smoked teammates twice for a low percentage shot on goal.

All of their drive has come from intercepts at our CHF. When they don't interceot, we score.

Is the feed cooked for anyone else on Fox Footy? Bottom 10% of the screen is cut off, but then feeds through onto the top. EDIT: Nevermind, fixed

Classic Lobb goal. Out of position. Out the back. Checkside because no left foot.

i remember round 2 2014. Roos' second game. We basically gave up.

You thread post good.

WHAT

Shirley you can't be serious.

All those years carrying North finally catching up.

Grundy was good but he should have been. That's a game he should play well in. Sydney lacked ruck depth today. His performance was as we'd expect. Same as most players. At our best we are hard to beat.

We brought it back a lot that quarter. We are beating Sydney in stoppage clearances and contested ball which is a good sign

They dominated thay quarter and barely outscored us. Our backline is doing fine. Umpires are ultimately dictating momentum atm. Wait until they put whistles away and see how the game swings. Then if necessary swing Petty back. Both teams could benefit from open forward lines.
