Game Day Round 8, 2015 - Essendon vs Brisbane Lions

[Monterronaldo]

We've just been out played by a more experienced, bigger bodied side. We dropped our heads for a bit and thats all it took for the score to blow out.

 

[James North]

7 straight kicks and we win it.

 

[Apex61]

About time the Umps got involved.

And killed off a good match.

 

[Ceebee]

My husband never watches a game and is sitting down with b i l .who also never watches a game picking us to pieces.
Not happy Jan.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Disappointing quarter. Just smashed by their talls. Stopped running for a little while as well.

 

[scott_the_man]

Disgraceful quarter. The umps were just as bad as us too

 

[Caiphus]

Those Bronx cheers from the Bomber's fans early on really changed the way the umpires are officiating for the remainder of the game.

 

[Madkeenlions]

We clearly consist of two teams. The team that presented itself from Round 1-5 and the team in round 6-7. Sadly the round 6-7 team has now been subbed off!!

 

[Nunez]

Our young defense and forward lines have been outplayed. We've won the middle but sadly it hasn't been enough. All it took was 7-10 mins off the pedal for them to basically kick clear.

 

[Ironmonger]

Unfortunately we are easily dominated aerially. Looking at St Kilda and the Giants, both are strong aerially, and we dont exactly have an overflow of talls ready to step in.

Yeah, this is it really. Essendon going forward have the luxury of knowing that if they sit it up high they're a better than even chance of taking a mark. It makes it easier to play on and play direct when you know even if you're reduced to a get out kick chances are it'll work out.

 

[Bucking Beads]

We haven't been that bad today. Our talls have been smashed and that has been a huge difference. We can't take contested marks and our young backline has had a bad day.

 

[Sanchez365]

Umpiring has been pretty brutal. Pretty much made everyone lose any confidence cause ever time someone shows any intent, holding the ball.

I know some of you are going to get stuck into me for this but I don't care, Aish is a soft, useless, selfish disgrace of a footballer. We are kidding if we think anyone going is giving us a first round pick for her. Go home and you can sleep between mum and dad and they can tell you that you are the best. I can handle we are not very good but cannot handle when players don't try. He does not try or do anything to help this team. Rant over

 

[Back2Back2Back]

"They won't kick goals doing that"

...what, moving forward down the wing? *ing peanut.

 

[Madkeenlions]

So Lewy Taylor is still out there!

 

[Hollow Knight]

Holy s**t, a big mark in our forward line.

 

[Schache It Off]

Please kick this, may as well make this under 30 points at the end, an appropriate margin.

 

[PTizzle]

Great stuff Stef!

I don't think you are on your own in terms of disappointment with Aish, it's more the way such views are expressed.

 

[Madkeenlions]

Get in front mc stay ya not a ruddy spectator

Seems to be trying out for a new car only

 

[Covertackle]

[Back2Back2Back]

Way way way too lazy a kick that.

 

[PattyKwasagun]

Oh well. Off to watch the Port replay.

 

[a mayes ing]

One of the worst games l have seen from Gardiner, been absolutly terrible.

 

[Madkeenlions]

Dacy Gardiner has a bad case of the Cutlers
