Game Day Round 23 - GWS Giants v Essendon, GIANTS Stadium, Saturday 19th August, 4.35pm AEST

[The Donners]

I barrack hard for the side

But the writing was clearly on the wall 4 weeks ago

Maybe it was just the shitty unlucky fixture having eagles and North meaning today meant we were still in the finals race, so you have to keep doing what gives you the best chance to win

Once the seasons done its all about the best assets to make us better so we can have a better chance winning down the track

Theres a clear top 7. It would just be our luck to be the next pick once those 7 are gone

*8 weeks ago

WTF was Heppell doing?

 

[lenny2013]

Key forwards love playing against us.

We need genuine key defender.

 

[Call Me Cake]

i like going to the football, it's nice, personally. i've been to a fair few non-essendon games this year and it's always excellent.

i think there's probably another 3 years before the higher ups realise that there's a parasite in the club, who's initials are a and d

I say if we all stayed home for 3 weeks in a row the message would come across pretty quick.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Hep quick to give Durham the stink eye yet ignoring the fact he put in literally zero effort into that contest. Give it up son.

 

[mike14]

There's no way we are giving Hepp the option of going around again are we?

 

[afairgo]

Name a big Re-signing player who was a focus that season who has not almost immediately gone backwards or peaked after re-signing. Probably only Merrett. Will they or won’t they sign is like the kiss of death…

maybe, but good luck getting every bombers fan to sit at home (albeit it'd be a better use of our time)

 

[MightyDon]

Hey Hep how about not being a spud

 

[Schnitzengruben]

David King is going to need a new headboard after tonight.

 

[Dons4days]

Key forwards love playing against us.

We need genuine key defender.

We need a genuine team. No need to limit it to one defender.

 

[Call Me Cake]

There's no way we are giving Hepp the option of going around again are we?

DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOU ARE

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Lmfaoooo okay Zerk, you're done mate. Good luck at Port.

 

[citizen-erased]

Drapers football is painful to watch

Who knows with this joint - we can only anxiously wait.

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Hulk Hogan gonna get 10

 

[mike14]

If they apply themselves I think they can get Hogan to 13

 

[MightyDon]

Hep blaming everyone last contest just stands around and watches the next contest

 

[SpeckieMcVeigh]

The worst game by any club this year. Yes this is worse than what West Coast dished up vs Sydney.

 

[BomberManU]

Is this their biggest ever win?

 

[ant555]

We nearly did. Both of them

What kills me is being wrong and right.
Im not sure i tipped 6. But we did. And then stopped. If you're gonna slip so readily into Essington mode, then just tank it up, bank top 3 picks, and swallow the 8 year rebuild.
We want to eat our cake and have it too.

How are you right ? 6 to 8 wins would have included a few losses like today and games like the last two.
I think I have been closer to right. 10 or 11 wins and at least 5 years away from knowing if we are a genuine top 6 finals winning side.
Has anything I said pre season proved to be massively wrong ?
Not enough marking power in front of the footy.
Lack of genuine leadership.
Midfield mix still not right.
We have enough decent players to win 10 or so games but we are just a middle of the road side.
Has any of this been proven wrong ?

After kicking the ball to no one at half forward

 

[Call Me Cake]

Oh Zerk.

 

[MightyDon]

Finally langers back in the backline
