AFL 2019 Round 1, Greater Western Sydney v Essendon, 3:20pm AEDT GS

[captain blood 17]

With this 6-6-6 rule the bombers are getting smacked out the guts at the moment. They can’t drop a player back to stop the bleeding.

Essendon rely too much on pressure and the whole team being 'mentally on' than a sound game plan strategy.

Sure they look good when the team is playing at full throttle defensively and run & gun offensively when it comes off, but you can't rely on that week after week, especially against the better teams.

 

[Smartest Brain]

Rubbing salt in the wound with two free kick goals there. Lol

 

[EasternTiger]

What I like about Essendon is, even though they are getting thrashed - there's no one out there pointing the finger at other blokes!

They are shit as one.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Contact below the knees...

 

[Former Decathlete]

No doubt Bombers fans will now turn againsg the coach.

They are in denial about the state of their list.
The mid field is plain shit. The list is average. Dodo is terribly over rated.

 

[Foucault1989]

Essendon are an OK side but at this point I can't see this current list challenging for a flag.

 

[Former Decathlete]

Gotta hand it to Dodo
17 years without a finals win and promoted to the board !!

An absolute spiv.
Used car salesman of the worst kind.

 

[Red Bull]

What did Heppell say to Shiel to convince him to choose to go to Essendon?

Easy money here mate
You’re NEVER held to account
Cmon across the road , I’ll shout you one

Issues around personnel and gameplan/structure.

Still need more bigger bodied inside mids...Shiel is a 'big bodied mid' but isn't necessarily an inside contested ball winner...his strength is as first receiver and bursting away from a contest.

Questionable game plan as well...can't just rely on run & gun quick breaks to kick winning scores.

I think they said Essendon are winning the centre clearances.....

 

[Americanpies]

They need Goddard back.

 

[Former Decathlete]

Players have clearly downed tools. Bottom 2 unless Worsfold is sacked immediately

LOL
Yeah blame Worsfold for your shitful list.

 

[madmug]

Wound, salt, rub.

nah, most know we are bog average.

 

[Giant Pete]

Hey Bombers. You have Shiel. We’ll keep Taranto. Cheers for next years first rounder too.

 

[ep2018]

I love Woosha but he's had his run there and someone else should coach Essendon.

 

[mrmonkey]

Basil is just one of many reasons 7 has to lose the next round of FTA TV rights.

My ears are literally bleeding being forced to listen to his diatribe

Even worse when he does the tennis, him and Hamish McLachlin cringe worthy stuff.

I don't know, the last 6 years have really shown just how in denial Essendon fans are capable of being in.

adelaide, essendon, melbourne continuing to perenially disappoint.

Dees played in a prelim last year.

 

[Foucault1989]

This is getting nasty.

 

[projectv]

Not the game I would have expected to be a 100+ win.

 

[F_therest]

Biggest concern for Bombers fan would be the lack of fight and spirit being shown right now

 

[Jaeger]

Pick 1 on McGrath, picks 5 & 6 for Parish & Francis, 2x first round picks for Shiel... Long live Dodoro

 

[charcoalchicken]

There a chance to lose by 100 here
