Fork 'em

There was another similar in the 1st half. On the rebound from half back a player running down the wing (not sure who) crying out for someone to lead at him and all our forwards got their backs to him bolting to the goal square. It was like they didn't want it. That ended up being a bomb to no-one.

I knew the game was over as soon as we let Hipwood and Daniher kick the 1st 2 goals. My only surprise was that Charlie Cameron didn't kick the 3rd. No surprise Nibbler got our 1st. Does that quite often.

Meh ... What happens in the gameday thread stays in the gameday thread. We're there to share the highs and the lows with fellow tragics.

OMG. On Nightshift tonight and I'm skipping my pre-work nap for this garbage. Gonna be a looong night

And forken Daniher. All we need is Cameron now cutting loose. Not looking good.

He's a liability in my Supercoach side ATM too.

That wasn't out.

Let's go Woey. Stamp yourself son.

Forken Daniher. Don't need those 2 clowns getting their tails up. As they tend to do against us.

Forken Hipwood.

Nice gather from Strop.

As a young fella with Essendon supporting relos I remember being excited and happy for them when they won the flag in '84, was a huge party that night. Those same relos and essendon supporters in general then proceeded to rub their success in my face for the next 30yrs solidifying my hatred for the club. These days I work with a couple essendon supporters in their early 20s who don't remember being successful at all and I love to listen to the disappointment in their club. Showed me where their next generation of supporters are psychologically. Fair to say I bathe in their miserable tears.

Fork Essendon. Long may they wallow at the bottom of the ladder.

Surprise, surprise. Last year was rigged too.

It's a tough watch. Abit like watching us without Gawn, Petracca and Oliver.

Wrong thread. Need a delete post button.

I saw an interview with Goodwin before the season and he was asked again about our culture. He replied with a steely eye something like our culture is 2nd to none and when the season starts we plan to "Show 'em what this footy club is about." Was wondering at the time if it was abit of false bravado especially after having our pants pulled down by the swans in Rd1. But here he is. Got all the guns on the ground, sitting at 4-1 and looking like they're on a mission.

It was still a good game. And I'll tip it'll be a good game next time too. Just reckon their little mids got tired of running into our fleet of bulls all night. They really could've used HF at stoppages. BOG tonight I hear.

Not gonna hold that against 'em. They gave us a run for our money without Horn-Francis.

Probably sees the defensive game plan similar to St.Kildas when he was playing under Ross Lyon.

Nah, let's him know he's been missed. For the exact reasons you mentioned. He probably gets a kick out've it.

Yeah , King's a total clown.

Lazy footy right now.

Channel 7 to umpire. "We need a closer finish."
