Game Day Round 3, 2021: Essendon v St.Kilda *STEELE 100TH* *CLARK 50TH* *CROUCH DEBUT*

[Browny2Carlisle]

What's the obsession with playing battle and wood types on the wing

 

[denisp]

Leaving the game now. First time I’ve ever left at half time. Something seriously wrong with that team.

Good move they deserve every fan to leave at halftime

 

[12Chill]

they are slowly sending me to an early grave

Slowly

But very surely

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

I’m putting in a massive effort watching this.

I think I have another couple of pints in me

 

[Noidenous]

I don’t understand why they are playing guys out of position. Carlisle should be on Hooker , Coffield isn’t strong enough . Hill on the wing , why are they trying him at half back when it isn’t working ? We had one ruckman and we dropped him to play two part time guys . Wood should be playing forward too .

sure it’s no the end of the world but we needed to beat the Bombers with our hard games coming up . It really is show how much we relied on Marshall and Ryder to give our mids first use .

Anyway today has been a shocker but hopefully things will improve a little in the second half and improve a lot next week . Can’t blame the small forwards as the ball is hardly getting down there .

Exactly.

You can only play tactical mind-games if your cattle are actually that good. We've recruited a bunch of easy-does-it types and blown a whole heap of hot air up their arse during pre-season.

 

[King_Steele]

Still think we will get rolling when Roma/Ryder return

Paton has hurt us big time

 

[Saintbloke]

Bytel is thanking his lucky stars that he is not associated with this soft effort.

 

[Max the great]

Saw ROMA on the way out walking outside the ground with his misso. Told him too ask for a trade. Don't feel good about it but when this club rips your heart out more times than you think is possible emotions can get the better of you.

 

[Longmembrey]

What must Bytel and Highmore be thinking right now? The two scapegoats who played alright last week.

No they didn't

 

[Dard Ball Get]

Season over in round 3 is somewhat freeing, haven’t felt like this since...
Well, it’s actually rare I don’t feel like this.

 

[Gosaints12]

I want a trade.

Statement needs to be made at selection. Drop hill. No hes not the only one, but he is the biggest statement. Lift work rate or *off.

Defenders are getting smashed because they cant cover all the angles from a midfield that let's 4 bombers waltz to 70m out. Pressure is a ******* joke, but we should have seen that coming from them being outrun by Melbourne who hardly set a high pace.

 

[snails13]

At least we’ll have a high pick in the mid-season draft.

We will be getting a high pick in 2021 Draft as well.

 

[George]

Media gets to our heads too easily like it did last year when they said we were finals bound then fell away badly in the last part of the season. We are suckers for big heads and we think it's all just going to happen.

Pathetic insipid performance, one of the worst I've ever seen.

 

[Lukesaint13]

Ratten said before the year that we’d see a different type of St Kilda and that there would be a slight tinker. Is the tinker us being sh**?

 

[St Neil]

I’m gutted. Almost heartbroken. Angry beyond words.

I want the coach to tells us the players are taking their mouthguards to training.

That first half was soul destroying.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Why does the fox logo have a beer next to it?

Halfway through a litre of Kraken.

Expect grammatical errors from here on.

 

[King_Steele]

Defensive system not holding up - Over the back goals ala Richo era happening a lot

 

[LiterallyNobody]

When is this stupid ******* team going to go broke and fold? I’m sooooo sick of this s**t.

I’m mentally too weak to support this club.

 

[t_94]

What's the obsession with playing battle and wood types on the wing

And Coffield as a key defender

 

[Saintos The ITK]

Wonder how we’d go against a good aflw side?

Ive been on the piss since 12.

 

[NarklesHelmet]

You can’t tackle and pressure if you don’t have the ball.

Watch Sydney today, Bulldogs and Eagles and Essendon now. Precise foot skills and possession are the way to win games with the new rules.

We need to stop looking at tackling stats like Warnie was in that tweet and tipping on our guys for numbers being low and for not making “effort”.

The game is changing, we either adapt or die. Sydney have adapted and are thriving, we aren’t and are dying.
