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

[Priddis Is Done]

Saints aren't great

But my oh my, I have never seen such a listless, pathetic and lazy effort as that

 

[Richard Pryor]

That feel when the signs in the crowd aren't even roasting you, just offering legit coaching advice.

 

[Blues_Man]

ha ha ha Essendon are a complete rabble ....players would rather run off the ground than go to a contest

 

[SterlingArcher]

FMD. I thought our skills were bad.

It's like a team of 22 Zac Jones'

 

[aussierulesrules]

Could be 6 goals up.

 

[Ocker]

Inb4 the media push for Hird to return to 'save' bombers

 

[Chaisa]

How long does Worsford have left?

 

[aussierulesrules]

Could be 6 goals up.

 

[threesixpio]

Someone should do a gif of Francis kicking the ball into his team mate. That was very enjoyable to watch and needs to be seen over and over and over again

 

[SterlingArcher]

That feel when the signs in the crowd aren't even roasting you, just offering legit coaching advice.

Not even groundbreaking, just run and spread!

 

[ep2018]

I never thought it'd be Longmire and Woosha under the pump early this season.

 

[TheSunGod]

DerWayne.. “Bombers - trouble in paradise”??? WTF? They’re in Melbourne... under a roof?

 

[Priddis Is Done]

I'd normally switch the tv off to this rubbish...

But I can't turn my eyes away from train derailing.

Dis gonna be good. Popcorn is ready.

 

[Boxhead_31]

Essendon players don't even want to stand on the mark now.

They are thinking if I'm on the bench I can't be blamed for this mess

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Another loss coming up

 

[ShadeyP]

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

Yet they let the girls be way more physical ... the world has spun well off of its axis and it is behind confusing

 

[Smartest Brain]

I never thought it'd be Longmire and Woosha under the pump early this season.

And Ross Lyon with the highest scoring team.

 

[juss]

How long does Worsford have left?

One more quarter.

 

[evo]

Enjoyable comedy show by Essendon on a quiet Saturday afternoon. Time to crack a beer I think, there could be some great laughs ahead.

 

[Tap Tap Tapperoo]

Could be 6 goals up.

Absolutely. Both teams started terribly but St Kilda at least settled, just couldn’t put it on the scoreboard. That from Essendon is one of the worst quarters I’ve ever seen a team play.

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

If we played like that against GWS we will go down by 100. Only the Saints comical ineptitude in front of goals has kept the Don's in this. This is coach killer type stuff.

 

[Gigantic]

This is what happens when your recruitment strategy is based on bringing in a bunch of precious footballers

 

[MadEyeEmmy]

Wow I almost want to stay tuned into this game now to see if Essendon can sink any lower. It’s like a car crash.

 

[Smartest Brain]

Yet they let the girls be way more physical ... the world has spun well off of its axis and it is behind confusing

The end of civilization is near my friend. Same thing happened in Rome .

 

[Elite Master]

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 $$$

Modern day coaching is just too complex and sophisticated especially when it comes to defense. I can see why the AFL wanted to take some control away from the coaches because its them that have created flooding and congestion. They are directly responsible for turning the game into the ugly mess it became.
