AFL 2019 Round 2: Essendon v St Kilda, 4:35pm AEDT MS

[Smartest Brain]

Whenever I think gws are bad at converting goals I watch Saint Kilda and realise we can hit another level .

 

[Dez!]

Settled like they did last week? Only got worse for them until it got to the last quarter.

There's a bit of a difference between St Kilda and GWS.

Both teams look quite ordinary, but Essendon on a whole other level.

 

[Muddiemoose]

Something is really lacking this year. Not much excitement from the games. My guess is that it has something to do with the 6-6-6 rule.

Was thinking about it before if it was because we don’t have the runners anymore making structural changes on the fly with the players to absorbed in the game to see the big picture and make the changes themselves

Worsfold = possible worst coach in the league. Probably worse than Bolton and Richardson

 

[Yellow Feathers]

Imagine dropping Ridley then serving up this rubbish.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Geeee Essendon looking awful at the moment

 

[Boxhead_31]

The way they've started you'd think the Saints were the team that got thrashed last week.
Bombers just going through the motions so far.

 

[projectv]

Well I'm changing to Port v Blues the second that starts. This is garbage

Lucky you, the rest of us didn't have the luxury of switching to a better game on Thursday night.

 

[Nuwanda]

Wow Essendon are a very ordinary footy team.

 

[My Tilly]

To be fair it was even worse for the entire first half of last year, the 2nd part of the season picked up but it was that first half of 2018 that really provoked these rule changes.

So what!
Let the game evolve on it's own as it has done for decades previously.
So the standard of footy was poor for 3 months so let's just change the rules because we (CEO's) can do whatever we please to make $$$

AFL is stripping as much violence from the game as possible . No more big hits or rough ups. I think that is the biggest factor . They are turning it PC

 

[The City Boyz]

this is absolute garbage

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Dylan Shiel hey Leon I’ve made a huge mistake

 

[mrmonkey]

Dwayne Russell just after a story. Just wants to kick clubs while they're down. Last week he desperately wanted the gold coast to win now he wants the bombers to get touched up. He is scum who just wants a story.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

What does Langford offer?

 

[ItsGameTime]

There's a bit of a difference between St Kilda and GWS.

Your previous statement inferred an improvement in Essendon rather than a deterioration in performance by St Kilda. So there is no point in comparing GWS and St Kilda.

 

[Crashy]

Langford is meant to be good?

 

[Snoozer]

Zach Merrett would want to be injured. Pathetic.

Essendon are traveling as well as my tipping

May as well quit and start next year

 

[koutamarto]

merret a small weak insignificant player

 

[ep2018]

Heard Merrett to Fremantle rumours a couple months ago, he's playing like he doesnt want to be there anymore.

 

[Sprout]

Bombers are intriguingly woeful. I can’t look away.

 

[Tigers123]

Lucky you, the rest of us didn't have the luxury of switching to a better game on Thursday night.

At least one team played decent footy in that game

8 shots to 2 - Saints applying good pressure too.
