Essendon v West Coast, Etihad 4.40pm

[ElitePunter]

Josh Hill probably would have butchered it anyway

The Essendon campaigners need to read that message 1000 more times.

 

[Righteo]

Ok I think most people would agree that decision was poor and may have cost us the game, but my fellow supporters have some ******* dignity. Lots of winging campaigners on here which is really embarrassing actually.

I have seen literally no Gold Coast fans in the last few pages bro.

Why don't you lot have some dignity about accepting your punishment for taking illegal substances, and having the full force of the law thrown At you?

Isn't Stereophonic the bloke that defected to Gold Coast when we were playing badly back in 2010?

 

[gPhonque]

A couple, yes.

The Josh Hill free was a shocker, and anyone who blames that for the loss is a fool We should've done better to that point.

It's frustrating when an Eagle is tackled and holding the ball is paid then 5 minutes later the same happens to Goddard and it's play on. It's frustrating when a free kick is paid in the forward pocket, advantage is paid and Chapman kicks an easy goal then when a free kick is paid to WC on half back and Sheed sets off through the middle play is called back. Etc.

It's magnified on TV by the fact you see every contest and you have two rabid idiots screaming for a free kick to be paid to one side and gleefully saying things like 'oooh, bit of a jumper grab there on Shuey.' You can guarantee had Hill's mark been paid and we won the game from it they would still be going over the replay now. Had the teams been reversed they would be calling for a Royal Commission. At the game you can only see so much and all you can hear is the crowd. This plays a huge role in why people complain about umpiring etc. watching the game at home.

A) Bullshit. Stop whinging.

B) All of the above is exactly what every Vic team has to deal with every time we play in WA. Stop whinging.

I didn't have much against Essendon before reading this thread, but after reading your supporter's comments, I hope the ASADA/drug cheating saga pain continues for years to come. I hope James Hird coming back ends up digging you a deeper hole than you're already in and you end up resenting your favourite son if not already. Enjoy your overly fortunate win as you do not have a bright future. We do

So a few comments from a handful of people are enough to swing your opinion? You must be easily persuaded by commercials and crooked politicians.

Let's talk about Dyson Heppell, 28 touches in the 2nd half absolutely outstanding.

I suppose you wouldn't, if I could link that game day thread here I would, but for a campaigner like yourself I cant be bothered

It was a pretty good one though you have to admit

Was outstanding for the past two weeks, though, and in many other games this year.

Needs a full pre-season.

Still only 24, happy with his progress so far.

 

[Engimal]

Except for the part where it is.

Then again...

 

[Forward Press]

McGinnity - very limited player. Hutchings - still learning. Scott Selwood also sometimes plays a negative role but we'll see how he's deployed in 2015 as hes out for the year.

Can we tell him to get a hair cut? Has shocking 'handpass' technique for mine but just gets to more contests then anyone else out there, deadly kick but.

 

[DapperDon]

How do you expect anyone to believe that after your questionable "performance program".

Whoosh!

It's mainly directed at the ignominious supporters in this thread

They exist in every supporter base. Don't tar us all with the same brush.

Booooooooooo.

 

[i am a logo]

Well we got to play what was pretty much an elimination final today, so that makes up for us not being able to make finals now.

Still loops his handballs aloittle too much for my liking. His biggest improvement this year has he has taken the loop out of his kicking. Now just drills it.

Guy wills himself into contests as well. Is a beast around the ball. Great core strength in the same vein of Pendelbury. Holds his feet and gets his arms free where others go to ground.

Which resulted in a kick across the goal face

Losing Watson with injury has been a blessing in disguise for his development. Bit like when we lost Gardiner years ago to a long term injury and it let a young guy called Cox get his chance as the main man in that role.

yeah that was funny.
