AFL Toast Practice Game: 74 point win over Melbourne

[The Prosecutor]

Blitz has a lot of great posters with mainly an older demographic. Some of the training reports are awesome, as well as general opinions.

But the one thing I can't stand (only a lurker myself) is if ONE thing goes wrong, a lot of them act like it's the absolute end of the world, clubiscooked etc. I've never seen a more prominent group of emotional, knee-jerk reactionists than the ones on Blitz.

From my observations, Bomberblitz primarily contains the IRL cheersquad nuffies and those who format their personal Facebook account as Joe 'Heppell' Citizen' with the Essendon logo or a player as their profile photo. BigFooty tends to encompass the rest of the supporter base.

Blitz once in a blue moon has some decent content, but ultimately as you allude to, it's culture resembling a high school in which a few popular posters with the egos to match rule the roost, and God have mercy on your soul should you chose to have a differing opinion to them as the most insignificant thing is blown out into a massive drama.

AFL.com.au reckons cutler was best on ground

 

[essendon]

Does anyone see how bad Ambrose's knee is or how he landed etc

 

[VelvetSledge]

Some chat around on Twitter that it looks like a PCL for Ambrose.

Seriously hope not.

Good win and signs for you blokes.
Deserved the win.

They beat our VFL team you suck-up.

 

[Donakebab]

Should rip up your memberships if you don’t win by 60+

Membership is safe... for now.

 

[mxett]

[Mootsy]

Cutler was superb!

Haven’t beaten Casey in a long time so we’ll take it

Haven’t beaten Casey in a long time so we’ll take it

Now we know who we have to play next time we meet them

 

[Keystone agony]

So much for us having a VFL side

SEN saying PCL...googles “how long is a player out with a pcl”

Early days but maybe we should've played a team who wasn't playing tomorrow?

Maybe we should do it every week

 

[Cotchins Hair Piece]

You guys looked like a vfl team to be honest, pretty embarrassing

Well yeh, it was our VFL team. Our seniors play Adelaide tomorrow. Embarrassing to only win by 12 goals against a VFL team really.

Mate, no need for the hostility. He was extracting the urine.

Someone seems a little defensive about their team’s chances this year

 

[Red Black and Blue]

It does beg the question why we organised a game against a team unlikely to play many senior players.

I’m unsure what Richmonds movements are but they would have been the only team locally that could have fielded a stronger side with their first marsh series game taking place after ours

I suspect Ham will be a very good player - He has enough tools to perform well at this level - He could be the steal from the 2018 ND.

 

[OsteitisPubis22]

Really liked Ham! Think he will be an important player for us. Has gotten noticeably bigger and made great decisions.
Unfortunately game plan has not changed a great deal. We played a reserve team and still were not convincing in the contest. It just won’t stack up when the whips get cracking.

Great to Gleeson play today

Didn't think he would play so early in the footage kept seeing him running laps with injured players

I'm not the most positive person around, but we essentially fielded a VFL side with half a game to some best 22 players. I doubt we'd have seen how we'll play. Seemed more like blowing out cobwebs before a genuine practice match next week.

You bit on that pretty hard
