Autopsy goal loss vs *Essendon

[Roosurgence]

This is brilliant.
Nic Martin is s**t everyone.

LOL!

Your building a flag on the back of Nick Martin?

Is that you Brad?

Thanks for proving my point that your list is shit if Nick Martin is the saviour HAHAHAHA

 

[DuckYeah]

Good god! Gonna be tuning in for the Wardlaw and LDU sidestep show in the future.

No wonder you’re keen for that. You paid 900k for Shiel and once Merrit copped a 40 year old running round on him, your midfield turned to water.

Absolutely.
Shiel is rated so low by the coaches, he didnt even play in the midfield. Once Merrett was stopped we had very little.
Caldwell was very good though.

Say what you want about Luke but he loves our club. The young blokes need to hurt and learn that when you are in a winning position you finish them off . Do it and we will start rising up the ladder faster.

 

[Cool Kangas]

How much longer until LDU is back?

 

[DuckYeah]

Some big picture type positives to buoy those really frustrated or annoyed:

1. Wardlaw, Phillips and Tarryn aren't where they need to be fitness-wise and will all go up another couple of levels once they build a base. Thought all 3 were awesome today.

2. Two of our most experienced ball winners were out by half time and we were down 1 on the bench for the second half. The young guys continue to step it up and lead from the front when called upon.

2. We had the largest injury list going into this weekend and after the concussions to Simpkin and Greenwood, I'm assuming we're still at #1. If not, we'd be second behind West Coast. So we've been super competitive for 3 weeks with about 15 guys on our injury list over that period of time.

3. Our best player hasn't been injury free since Round 3 and has missed the last couple weeks through injury. He'll be back soon.

4. We get Brayden George next year.

5. We'll add at least one more elite talent at the draft.

6. Ben McKay was back to his best. I want him to stay, but if he goes we should be compensated well.

A lot to be excited about.

McKay was solid in the second half when he was 1v1. He is a great 1v1 defender when he is in form. Dont ask him to read play and make a 1v1 a 2v1 like ridley did today. That is not happening.

He does. This is heartbreaking

 

[DuckYeah]

Absolutely.

Caldwell was very good though.

Caldwell couldn’t break a Spicer tackle mate. Its bleak, very ****ing bleak for your mob. Wont make the 8.

Let’s hope Brad sneaks them into the 8, that’s when he goes into full list destruction mode thinking they are close.

 

[DuckYeah]

There is a stark contrast in drive, intensity and class between many of our experienced players against our youth and traded in players. Can only mean good things.

Sucks that we lost, but considering our in-game losses and long injury list, I couldn't be happier with how our kids stood up. We all know the negatives and the players that won't be around next finals series, but today is about Phillips, Wardlaw, Sheezel, Spicer, Thomas, CCJ, Bergman, Fordy and co., taking the mantle from their experienced brethren.

Powell too.. they were all good.

 

[Moti]

We looked better when Shiels went into the mid to cover Merret and Ford was back on the wing. Pls don't play Ford forward again, he's a winger now, let him make it his own.

Dunno, think we need speed on the wing. Goaters performance last year in the final game is the one we need the most. Scott isn’t super quick either, but he is definitely playing at a level I did t think he would. Ford could certainly be part of the high half forward brigade though with stints deep

The AFL should deregister any player that has been caught in a Spicer tackle.

 

[Makeshift Park]

How much longer until LDU is back?

About six days, 19 hours and 50 minutes, but really, who’s counting?

 

[DERRINALPHIL]

Enjoy failing year seven English.

You reckon he will get to Year Seven English?

He might if he is a full paying student as they are never failed.

 

[franjon]

Yep, needs to be a lot better then that at the finish. It's been disappointing. Needs to learn to become an actual match winner. Near enough is not good enough.

Were you born stupid?

The only hope I see for Essendon is if Jake Stringer

is allowed to go to Schoolies and they have 5 father sons come on the list all at once.

Could be the first time 5 half brothers play for the same club.

I thought that was a fairly good and entertaining game. North had a great crack.

 

[DuckYeah]

The AFL should deregister any player that has been caught in a Spicer tackle.

Hey, Spice showed a smidgen of good stuff. I’d persist. but ys, you’re not wrong. If tat bloke that weighs as much as my right leg pins inside mids, questions need to be raised oOR is Spice coming to find his feet knowing AFL players are a bunch of cats and he can match em?

Goater to halfback for me. Takes the Hall spot. I also don’t think Hall was nearly as bad as people on here are making out.

You can't have both. Pick a side.

 

[kaboom kid]

Was very good today. So clean late in the game too.

That goal was the shackles released. He's coming.

Defensive efforts very good too. Several good tackles

 

[domiroo]

Competed really well with 2 big bodied mids down but just get the feeling that we will never win any of the close ones. Every other team just has an extra gear in terms of skill and x-factor against us in the final moments. So in other words - close losses like this are as close to 'wins' as we will ever get.

Ahhhh shut up . We’ll be a force sooner than you think .

 

[Ischenko]

**** them, irrelevant club, no man’s land, average coach, finals maybe but will lose an elim again if so. Look, it’s been a while since we beat them but in that time they have won 0 finals. No biggie. Our midfield with a combined total of about 40 games destroyed them after quarter time.
