Game Day Round 9 - Essendon v Orange Team, Marvel Stadium, Saturday 11/5/24, 4.35pm AEST

[VelvetSledge]

GWS’ sub looks like he’s about 9 years old

 

[Call Me Cake]

Laverde chilling next to a teammate spoiling the ball and leaves Tobey to just run out the back

Far out, it's like he just started playing yesterday

I'd almost rather have Menzie in the back line than bloody Lav

 

[Learntopray]

Is it crazy to say we are a 3-4 goal better team without Laverde in the team?
Amazing one player can make such a swing.

 

[jmoo wan]

I never want to see Laverde again

 

[boncer34]

 

[scythe]

The Giants don't need to be out there. We're beating ourselves just fine.

 

[rumply]

wow, this is not good

 

[Its Manbearpig]

Defence not holding up great short of McGrath. Move martin up the ground

 

[JayJ20]

This'll be a thrashing now

 

[mike14]

Hepp just highlighting the lack of basic skills that have really made us a power house over the past 2 decades

 

[Schnitzengruben]

When did Redman become so useless and lackadaisical?

 

[NoWuckingFurries]

Very clearly not up to their standard. Pretty depressing

 

[MightyDon]

They’re just looking too good.

Our skills are making them look better

 

[The Donners]

Bad defence.

To be honest I don’t see how Laverde helps the team. He doesn’t beat his opponent in many contests (if any) and he’s undisciplined.

 

[Learntopray]

Surely we see Hayes next week?

 

[VelvetSledge]

Genuine question

Is that not a trip?

 

[rumply]

Clearly they are on another level. Will take some effort to even this up.

 

[MightyDon]

We can’t hold a mark, can’t hold our feet, can’t hit a target

 

[NoWuckingFurries]

Jones simply cannot mark the ball. Being above average pressure for his size does not make uo for his complete lack of marking ability

 

[scythe]

WHO THE heck IS THAT TO

 

[Its Manbearpig]

Playing ourselves out of it so far, some to like but definitely not enough yet

 

[mcgrath_truther]

well and truly put the whistle away today

 

[The Donners]

Scoreboard could be a lot worse.

 

[Its Manbearpig]

Jones needs to be stronger overhead

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Need to up the physicality.
