AFL Toast RND 11: Dreamtime Win Against the Tiggers

[JayJ20]

We play such a boring style of football. No system to our forward ball movement. At least Clarke was exciting.

 

[Snake Charmer]

Setters gets to much of a bad wrap around here.

Yeah I agree, I’ve always been a big fan. He will always be that odd man out in the midfield that we want to replace but atm he’s to important as a hard working player. We need a few to play the way he does.. Perkins ect

 

[doug85]

This could be a genuine case of hamstring awareness

Good point, I hope so

 

[andleanback]

Honestly, no, still some guys around that 27-28 age range

And??? A rebuild doesn’t mean you have 23 blokes playing that are under 25.
Tigers have Taranto, hopper, broad, vlaustin, nank, lynch, balta etc
Are they in a rebuild

 

[Donakebab]

Angus is the new Doise. Old Man Clarke lol bloke is having a great time.

 

[Goat Hird]

Well at least, I'm feeling a little better after someone hit my car today and didn't leave a note.

 

[bommer16]

Angus is so happy to be playing afl and for Essendon. Well done. 3 goals.

I don't think anyone doubts what he does, it's that nobody trusts his body holding up.

Obviously, it's just the ones i'm thinking of are average at best

 

[andleanback]

Only managing to score 11,9 and 11 goals against the 3 bottom sides in the competition is a huge worry.

Unlucky mate

You’ve got to have experience out there. But I agree a lot of our guys aren’t the greatest leaders / teachers for our kids.

 

[Megabattimus]

Got pretty close to my thirty point win, but at what cost?

A rebuilding side is bad at kicking goals? Wow, I'm shocked to be sitting here.

Why? We're focused on stability. Lets wait till the end of 2027 before we make any judgements.

 

[zigipop]

I'm not sure how we can remain so shit due to the same shortfalls for such an extended period of time.
I am optimistic that the cohort of youngsters coming in now will be the change we've waited 15 years, but until that optimism is justified by consistent elite on field effort and execution we remain just a plain ol' shit footy club.

Exactly. The team Richmond put out tonight is no slouch. Can see them pushing for top 12 by the end of the year.

Not a fan of everything Scott does but we are doing ok given the injury carnage and there are no real easy games

 

[fairbump_playon]

Reid is walking without a limp or ice packs. Could his absence have been precautionary? Or am I still in the first stage of grief?

Whole leg replacement

No need for ice

 

[YEMOC NAYR]

Ball movement genuinely putrid.

We should’ve easily kicked over 100 points tonight. Just silly mistakes and dumb skill errors.

 

[andleanback]

Tonight was a real easy game. Any side outside west coast and north beat the side Richmond wheeled out by 90+
You put lynch nank and balta in and we lose by 5-6 goals

 

[bommer16]

The next block of games will require some major innovative gameplan moves by brad and co.

 

[div12ressie]

Stop focusing on the score line, we're building. Give it time and patience. If it wasnt for our injuries to our gun players (cox, langford, nguyen etc) we'd be pushing for top 4.

 

[Beerfish]

I'm also outraged.

Yeah nah, we're not that much better than Richmond.
