Essendon vs Hawthorn- All post game opinios/analysis

[bruce29]

Sickening game, maybe worst of 07. Are the finals gone now?

 

[Bomber Bears]

sounds like a ****in horrid performance.

 

[red+black]

Finals easily gone.

Our position mid-season belied the fact that we aren't a very good side.

We won't make finals this year, we won't make finals next year.

We need to accept it, throw out the trash, rebuild, and look towards 2009-10.

Yep, all hope has left Windy Hill. Goodbye to Sheeds and Hirdy, what a terrible way to go out... 50,000 West Coast supporters waving their scarves and jackets...

The finals were gone about 5-6 weeks ago, we were never a contender. Hopefully we can get rid of some of the rabble in the team at the end of the year.

 

[bruce29]

I guess you neva know, with wins against freo, mel, rich, we maybe still an outside chance, but we would everyhting to be perfect

 

[Bombers_Forever]

Pathetic effort, just like the Port game. Season on the line and we just do not turn up and the execution was disgraceful. Even Richmond put up a better effort yesterday than we did.

Subi is our last game of the season for sure.

Hw is Courtney Johns a afl football player. He is the crapest player. I dont now how he gets a game.

 

[jnash196]

I want to lose to Carlton so the tanking ****ers dont get pick 1

 

[red+black]

Scores level, and we rush a point as the siren sounds.

Would go a little way to make up for '99.

Couldnt agree more!!!

MJ - gone.

 

[BomberAce7]

MJ - gone.

Yep & there's a few other snails that will join him too! JJ, Heffernan, Bolton, Johns, Bradley! It will be the 1st decision our new coach will make.

 

[bruce29]

MJ - gone.

Definetly, worst was in the 2nd when he had the ball going forward, and handed it on a silver platter to the hawks....disgraceful

He caught Kepler today, it's embarrassing that he can get a game with us

 

[BomberAce7]

F*** it play kids now Sheeds! Jetta, Houli ,Lonergan, Hocking e.t.c Give them all a game at least, there's only 4 matches left.

 

[GoDons]

For one, finals are not gone. The next three games are each winnable and that would carry us to 12 wins and give us some hope.

For two, we were not outplayed today until the last quarter. We made our own errors. We got plenty of the ball and simply wasted it away without holding any structure. There was only one area where we were genuinely beaten, that being at the fall of the ball.

What we have to do is sharpen up. Our skills aren't that bad, minds just need to switch on. If Sheedy starts bringing in every kid on the list and sends guys like Lucas and Fletcher away to get their bodies right, I'd be appalled. Once we've lost two more games, fine but whilst there's light, there's hope and I hope the club takes a similar stance.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

I can't believe how many times the Hawks sharked Laycock's and Hille's taps down in our forward 50 only to rebound and kick goals.

Love that comment. Never give me the odds C3PO.

We were horrible today. Insipid. Terrible. Shocking. Half the guys didnt look like they gave a crap. NLM, Fletch, Laycock, Mal and Pev were the only ones that ran out the game. Lloyd was goal hungry. Stants and McPhee couldnt hit a target to save their lives, and we had no run out of the centre.

When we were going forward, there was no movement, so we just had to kick it long and hope half of the time.

Monfries needs to be dropped for the rest of the year. He didnt deserve a game today, and he along with MJ and Lovett were despicable. FFS Lovett, why try and bounce it when it has been raining

On todays performance, we deserve to miss the finals, and 12th is probably where we should be. Worst performance of the year.

I thought it was a good contest

For me the most disappointing thing was how obvious Haw game plan is. Everyone knows that they cover the middle and set up a defensive zone that forces the opposition team to kick where Haw want it (along the boundary and where they have the numbers).

Surely our coaching department having seen the tapes, would've picked this up???

Having said that we looked disinterested, skils were embarassing and our decision making was 1/10.

In hindsight we went in to top heavy, not enough runners.....

I thought that was obvious before the match...

 

[Bomber57]

Weak, gutless, no spine, no heart, besides a new coach lets try 10 new players, todays effort was a joke.

I am married to a Collingwood supporter and she is giving me so much shit, gees life is hard, and it has been for three years now, thank god I can go to work and get away from it all.
