Pretty disheartening for Essendon supporters i would imagine.

A distinct lack of talent.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Relax mate. You are making yourself look like you're in a panic.

Oh yeah, if you say so. War is peace and hate is love too, right?

 

[windyhill]

That makes 2! (and probably many more)

I still can't believe many actually thought Essendon were "premiership contenders", I doubt they'll even make finals.

Bit like c**lton " eyeing off the eight"

 

[Pessimistic]

ok lets get real and assess the margin Adelaide crows fans style:-

87pt margin.

minus home ground advantage - 5 goals
minus injuries - 3 goals
minus umpiring - 2 goals
minus our fans were feral - 2 goals
minus their mamma - 1 goal
minus the weather - 1 goal
minus the millenial factor discount - 1 goal
= 3 point Essendon win

id like to congratulate the bombers who were clearly the better side.

Early poty contender. Gotta take care you don’t become bigger rivals tham port

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Where are Essendon and North at?

 

[SuperSteele22]

Oh mate....Its February.

On that type of prediction its a Tigers v Dees Granny.

I’m going to stick my neck out here and say that that’s not a totally unrealistic scenario

 

[beema limapep]

I know it's only preseason, and they don't have a full squad, and injuries/resting, and etc......... but god do I enjoy watching Essendon getting pumped.

youre welcome.

garbage teams deserve to be disposed of.

 

[Kettles]

I hate smug oppo supporters.
I hate it when we put in insipid performances.
I hate it when I fail to log in and have to read drivel from a B4L as his tripe is usually blissfully ignored.

Early poty contender. Gotta take care you don’t become piggery rivals tham port

Few bevvies tonight?

Won't happen, all I've heard is Melbourne are peahearts and Tigers will be lucky to make finals because they were lucky last year.

Lol. Wouldnt be the worst call.

i hate other teams wasting my own teams time and their fans trying to maintain they are relevant. at least north will put up a fight.

 

[Pessimistic]

Few bevvies tonight?

Maybe I will. That’s just iPad typeahead

 

[My name geoff]

Oh yeah, if you say so. War is peace and hate is love too, right?

You look desperate, I'm just letting you know

 

[My name geoff]

Probably a pretty short odds combination tbh

 

[SCRAY72]

Where are Essendon and North at?

Is it too early to start the "where are they at"? threads. One more JLT game and it is open season.

 

[BBC1967]

considering Richmond have there best 22 in an Essendon dont, it makes a bit of a difference

Rioli and Prestia are out- best 22?

 

[Red Bull]

We just want to be judged on our football now

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Pretty disheartening for Essendon supporters i would imagine.

Talent is not the problem it's the lack of effort we were witches hats today.

 

[Eddie19]

Jack 'Peter North' Graham looks ominous

Good option for Dream Team Keeper League?
Looks mature beyond his age already. Gun

 

[mehow2g]

Listening to rance it seem that he and the boys understand what is required to keep the momentum going from last year.

I don't believe Dusty/richmond even hit their potential last year they could go on to be a better team.

 

[Jobe Watson]

It's really telling that after dominating the first 5 minutes and kicking 2 easy goals, that Essendon's intensity dropped off as soon as Merrett went down. Definite shift in mentally as Essendon put the cue in the rack. Richmond celebrating every goal, desperate to get rid of the tag of being the weakest flag team in history.

Essendon played it well today. Got a jog on without showing our hand to our rivals. Worsfold is a genius.

You could be a Trump supporter with that level of denial
