Jaded No More

Fritsch having a mare

Bowey back to half back. Thank god.

He has not been great for about a month now. IMO he is carrying a leg injury.

He and Oliver have had 3 clearances each Clarry going at 60% and Trac at 56% DI Both very very poor today

This margin really flatters us. They missed some gettable shots. Should be 10 goals down. Would be lovely to see something different in the middle because if we can’t get on top in clearances we will get slaughtered. Giving Hawks first use so they can run and carry and hit targets with precision is not going to work.

I’m thinking of rewashing my laundry and setting fire to my house so I can get out of watching the second half

What standard is that? The one where he can’t hit a target?

Sicily needs a punch to the face

HIT A [censored] TARGET I BEG OF YOU

Langdon another turnover. This is a circus.

Is Kosi injured? Because he looks slow. Slow. Kosi. What the hell?

And other senior players who refuse to put their body on the line like Trac. We are going nowhere with this midfield mix

Woeful defensive performance all over the ground And when we win the ball we hand it back to Hawthorn Absolutely disgraceful performance

Make this season end

The rain is going to help our skills

Has anyone hit a target today?

Training drill so far.

May on Gunston is not it. Losing clearances again. Sicily is a despicable player

At least he can run and carry and move the ball more aggressively. He’s a decent long kick. We are missing Windsor’s dash

Between Viney Trac and Clarry that’s 3 poor kicks Put Rivers in the guts ffs

How is that goal not reviewed? Clearly touched by Rivers

I don’t think I was picking on you. I just wanted to answer the question re Lewis because I think it’s important that we don’t bring on someone with a vested interest to get his mate a job. He said himself he is super close with Bucks and it won’t be fair for him to be involved. Plus he’s too close with Gawn. We don’t want current players influencing the decision. Sorry if my post came across as angry it wasn’t meant to be and I know you’re not one to jump on the anti club bandwagon at any opportunity. But the same old posters who for two years banged on about sacking Goody are now complaining about who is looking at this replacement. It’s exhausting. Watson has copped quite a bit of hate in this thread, and I found the suggestion from you that his selection might point to Guerra’s bias to Essendon pretty unfair. Again I didn’t think my replies came across as aggressive but I apologies if they did as it wasn’t my intention at all.

Looked physically sore last week. It’s a short turnaround so maybe not a bad option to have him come on fresh in the last. Means Hawks won’t be able to throw Sicily forward in the last quarter as they tend to do.

I am just sick of supporters finding any reason to pile on the club. We select a panel of which half is independent and people complain. If we kept it in house, people would complain. No matter what the club does someone finds a reason to have a go. I explained why Lewis was not considered and why I think the accusation that Guerra is still bound to Essendon because of the Watson selection is ludicrous. I just don’t understand how supporters find the energy to spend so much time questioning every thing the club does, and buy all the rubbish that every media outlet reports. Caro has a very clear agenda and it’s not pro MFC.

He is there to provide a player’s perspective in the selection process, which is important given a senior coach is there to work with the players first and foremost. I’m curious if you’d care if we picked Hodge or Reiwoldt instead, or if the hate for Watson is because he’s ex supplement saga Bomber?
