On the commentary, Hodge was perplexed at the way we were trying to score stoppage goals inside 50. “Why are they trying to surge forward through congestion when they have spare numbers if they feed it back?”
So, I look at a guy like Fritsch who would be our most consistently productive forward since Neitz and Robbo. Give him some space on the fat side and he can burn an opponent on the lead. Have him one out and he’s half a chance of kicking a snag. The sort of player that we should build our...
That game may as well have been written by ChatGPT. Gawn smashed by Grundy, shite skills, predictably bad ball movement going forward, 2.8 at halftime and the sleepy time where we don’t touch the ball for the first 10 minutes of the last.
Viney, Windsor and Howes get a pass but the rest of...
Essendon 2012 was piss funny. Dreadful game where Garland starred up forward and it was Neeld’s first win as coach.
Wasn’t a bad win by any stretch but we were largely piss poor for 3 quarters against a pretty undermanned Carlton in the 2000 QF before Green and Bruce went bananas in the last...
2013 vs the Bulldogs. ******* shithouse year. Yet, we played quite well for 3 quarters and had a 40 point lead. Then, we ******* stopped in the last and managed to just fall over the line by 3 points. If a ruined orgasm were a football game.
18 Prelim would’ve been way easier to swallow if it wasn’t 10 goals to zero at halftime. 2000, I hated because it was Essendon but it was really men vs boys and we were never going to beat them.
The worst losses are the ones where you are embarrassed to follow the team because they don’t even look AFL standard. See 186 and 148
Followed closely by games where defeat was snatched from the jaws of victory. See 02 SF, 04 EF.
And then, the embarrassment of losing to s**t opposition. See...
As I said, I don’t really have sympathy for him blowing up his AFL career by going low energy supervillain.
But, the AFL media is a cesspit of commentary about commentary, making s**t up and rumour mongering. I don’t even recall Ben Cousins copping this amount of s**t. He absolutely deserves...
If it is true that the club has put up with his s**t behaviour to excess because he’s a star they only have themselves to blame.
The MFC arguably put itself on a path to a premiership by trading/punting blokes like Hogan and Watts because they played up. If Oliver has gone against club values...
I think there’s no doubt he’s been a massive dickhead and reckon we missed a trick by not trading him last year.
However, to me it’s now reached bullshit pile on stage. I don’t have much sympathy for him blowing up his AFL career but am a bit worried about his mental health on a human level.
I take Bluelegs point about the player’s weight like height likely being inaccurate as well as other context and nuance around the issue.
However, as a person who doesn’t mind nerding it up and looking at playing lists this move is kinda s**t. If a player is 185cms and 95kgs that would tell me...
Oleg Markov and Billy Frampton would’ve been outside Collingwood’s best 22. Imagine how many more flags Collingwood would’ve won if they’d delisted them and pushed hard for hungry 22 year olds.
We’re getting off topic, but, it’s the straight sets that’s bloody awful. If we were talking back to back prelims after a flag the scrutiny wouldn’t be as intense.
In fact, this is objectively worse than the men’s team who kind of did well to reach top 4 before choking in finals when they had a good chance to win. The AFLW side haven’t turned up at all in the past two weeks.
