AFL Toast 7 point win over Freo

[Lore]

Yep.

 

[Kakkle]

Well, it was far from pretty. Pretty ugly actually. Some nice moments in what was a relatively forgettable game. Bank the 4 points and start working towards beating Richmond for the first time in 5 years.

Umpires. Wowee.

 

[JDavey]

Umpires just reminding us in the 4th that they can break us anytime they want.

 

[Burzum]

Not the best performance but a win nonetheless. Closer than it should have been thanks to the umpires.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

[doug85]

Oof nearly made a ‘labor party’ of that one.

 

[Pweter]

Seriously, I am over umpires.

That was ugly but 4 points is 4 points. We were the better team, deserved to win, but not one for the time capsule.

 

[Lore]

I'd rather win ugly than lose ugly. But that was really, really ugly.

 

[DapperDon]

ugly skills both ways
ugly umpiring both ways
ugly game of football

 

[JayJ20]

Joke umpiring. Absolute joke. Essendon needs to stand up to this crap. Week after week.

 

[Snake Charmer]

Beat a top 8 team, out of the 8 by % ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[Its Manbearpig]

That did not help my "love" for the game.
Lucky to escape the scumpires there

 

[Despair]

Hey Nicolls you dumb ugly bald campaigner.

 

[Beerfish]

One of our problems is we're never far enough ahead for the shithouse umpiring to not be an issue.

 

[JT_the_Man]

Good job holding off the umpires at the end there, good to get one back against them after 2 losses already against them this year.

Essendon win overshadowed by poor umpiring

 

[Old Stuckup]

We just needed a win. Can't complain too much but we've got to move onto next week.

 

[Drummer_19]

It certainly was a football game that was played. I'll say that much.

 

[KevDawg]

So, new game plan? Play 17 players anywhere, but play Walla up forward and get him an early goal.

 

[rumply]

60 points, * this nonsense

I miss the days when we put the foot on the throat on the opposition

 

[Andronicus]

4th quarter umpiring.

3 of the last 4 weeks have been pretty damn contentious.

 

[KevDawg]

Hey Nicolls you dumb ugly bald campaigner.

I like ‘scumpire’, that’s a good one. I’ll have plenty of opportunities to use that.
