[eth-dog]

His worst game for the year.

His worst game for the year.

I would go as far as career

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Gets a mulligan for today since he's been pretty good but geez....it wasn't pretty.

 

[Inspecta Gadget]

Trying to give it off in the last 90 seconds when all you need to do is kick a point might be the lowest IQ move I've seen on a footy field

 

[eth-dog]

I would go as far as career☹

Probably. No surprises that everyone has pounced on this game in particular.

 

[Megabattimus]

Had a mare, but should bounce back next week.

Nah, Langford running past the ball to go to the bench trumps it

 

[ant555]

Probably. No surprises that everyone has pounced on this game in particular.

Yep. No rest for the whipping boy .

 

[Lore]

the coaching staff need to tell him he's one of the best set shots and snappers at the club cause he seems to think he's **** at them

Wondering if he's got a sore foot or something. Shouldn't be palming those off. iirc he also had the assist for Redman's goal.

he’d struggle to make the distance form outside 50.

I like snelling. He plays hard every week. Even though he wasn’t great today he still had 18 possessions and 7 tackles. I would like to see him hit the scoreboard more. To
do this he has to take the game on a bit more. I think this will come with experience,
he’s only played 22 games. Still lots of learnings to come, not just for him but the
whole club.

 

[Loonerty]

Yeah, rough day today for Snello.

 

[ant555]

He will bounce back and those who can not see what he does most weeks really need to go to footy school.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Why would a 31 year old with 200 games to his belt be screaming for a short pass with about 90 seconds to go when Snelling is lining up for goal.

Mind boggles. You can see Hooksy putting his hand up to slow down but Zaka is waiving his arms like a mad man when we've got the game pretty much sewn up.

Sums up 20 years of Essendon in about 10 seconds.

Where is this footy school you talk of? I may know of someone who may be interested in enrolling

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

A bit off today, but has plenty of runs on the board already for 2021.

 

[Ambrosia]

Still a big fan. Glad they are rolling him through the middle a bit more think he’s much better than Smith in that role.

 

[Old Campaigner]

Stuck a bunch of tackles which is nice

 

[quotemokc]

That decision at the end to kick it to another player was mind boggling, but what was also terrible was Zaharakis calling for it.

 

[Runk]

Big fan. Next time, ice the game chief.

He'll never forget that moment.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

Trying to give it off in the last 90 seconds when all you need to do is kick a point might be the lowest IQ move I've seen on a footy field

dead set the dumbest thing I have seen for a while.

Either didn't know how long was left or had a total brain fart.

he is very lucky we managed to win.

 

[donlav99]

Silly error passing off.... even bigger error from Zaharakis to ask for the ball... immature move from a very senior player.

I get why Zaka wanted it though - he’s been chasing the dragon ever since he won the game on Anzac Day way back when.

 

[ant555]

Lead the pressure acts and had 7 tackles. 44% disposal efficiency not so much .
