Preview AFL Round 21 Gameday Thread: Dockers Vs Dons

[ant555]

What would you do if you were coach/list manager, Ant?

We are stuck with a lot of what we have. There is no easy way out over the next few years with GC and West Sydent coming in.
They simply have to make sure that they get a couple of good players per draft over the next few years and try and make the bottom end of the 8 while working away on the list. Hopefully they can put enough in place that will see us in the top 4 picture while Ryder, Hurley , Pears, Zaka etc are in their prime.

I am more pissed off that i had our list pretty well pegged at the start of the year and it has proven to be very close to the mark. Mt prediction was 10 or 11 wins and just miss the 8 and i can tell you i am not overly pleased that i was right. In fact i am extremely pissed off!!.

BBH, you are an a-grade idiot.

If you think, on the back of performances like these, we deserve to play finals, you're more idiotic than I thought.

Would not want to turn up on September 1st and dish up crap like this.

Let me remind you:

still think we don't deserve to play finals?

 

[EssendonPride]

Why is McPhee's marking so hot and cold. **** me.

 

[essendon]

PISSS OFFFF MCPHEEEE

Unless you can win games on a consistent basis, then you don't DESERVE to play finals.

As much as we lambast Carlton, they've won 6 or 7 out of the last 8. That is what you call consistent football.

Just showing yourself as a fairweather supporter.
You can not possibly know what we will dish up if we don't make it.
Yes, today has been atrocious, and I have never said otherwise, but does that mean we should just lay over next week because some supporters are a little scared of losing in a final. I don't think so. If you do not want to see us make the finals, then it is not me who is the idiot.
You can only give yourself a chance in a finals match by playing in one.

 

[Boiled Geezer]

Well if the hat fits .......
What they have served up today is ****ing terrible. They deserve what they get.

Our fans are all turning on each other like a pack of dogs yet you feel this is okay? I can understand some frustration but this thread is a joke.

And yet you are still reading it past page 20 ?
Easy solution for that

Do Hawthorn or Port deserve it any more than us? I don't think so. Whats the worst can happen? we lose a final and learn from it.

 

[essendon]

2 out of 3 weeks and couldnt get it right, so who is responsible ????

What does me reading it have to do with a moderator putting the foot down and stopping people from attacking each other?

He is showing the opposite you tool. Maybe instead of pasting other supporters you should take a look at your own ideas if you are happy too watch us get smashed by fremantle without even a whimper.

 

[Drummer_19]

At least I've got 3 DT grand finals to look forward to.

Its a game day thread
You have plenty of outs
With a few good players in you could still have an impact.

I learned a longtime ago not to get worked up in the GameDay thread. The moment we start losing everyone starts proclaiming the death of the Club...

 

[Mad Bomber Sean]

This game shows how important our Hillie & Ryder are to this side..

 

[GoldenboyHird_5]

Why are you so concerned about hawthorn and PA's performanes, they have no bearing on our opinions of where Essendon is at.

If you want to compare Essendon to the season's of those two then fine, wallow in your mediocrity.

Playing finals, on the back of these performances, sends the complete wrong message to the list.

 

[essendon]

who the hell is balantyne and pearce i mean we always hve someone who stands up against us they've now kicked 6 btw them

Is anyone attacking you ?
I think it is much better for eveyone to get it out of their system in this thread so things can settle down again tommorrow.
There is no one twisiting your arm and making you participate.
This thread will run its course and things will be back to normal.

 

[Mad Bomber Sean]

Lloyd should play next year, along with Jetta & Atko. Get rid of Wlilams, Lucas Margin & Nash
