Autopsy 8 point loss to Essendon

[Heeney2Franklin]

Well that game happened if anybody was still watching after HT it was a better 2nd half but this side picks and chooses when to put in effort.

Probably a extra 10mins of decent footy in the first half wins that game thats how bad Essendon are.

Grand scheme of things it doesnt really matter as that loss ends our season.

 

[Nuggetz]

Umps cheating ****ing scum

 

[Membling]

Put a fork in us for this season

That is all

 

[Millky95]

8.15 means you don't deserve to win
7x 50m penalties against means you don't deserve to win

Completely disgraceful effort. Particularly that first half. 2nd half was an improvement but such a low bar it doesn't feel worth a mention

Just beyond disappointed right now

Put a fork in us for this season

That is all

Least if we are going to suck…least do it properly

 

[MarkP]

Umps didnt matter

Bombers are complete shit and they flogged us

It is that simple

 

[RUNVS]

Now we can pretend this was an honourable loss.

Hope Seagull Merrett gets three weeks for that hit on Liz.

 

[SSwans2011]

Season over unfortunately. Hard one because we didn't deserve to win after that first half, but we were the better team, and the umpires did everything possible to ensure we lost.

Still can't get over Cleary getting called HTB in the second quarter after the Essendon player dropped it in his tackle 2 seconds prior.

 

[SoGulden]

**** the umps

 

[MarkP]

What is the record for 50 against

Hope we got that record

Baby steps

Pretty funny game in the end. Sydney could’ve won that by 30


Dangerous tackle call on Hamling the biggest example of Victorian perfidiousness I’ve ever seen.

But Hamling has got to be the dumbest bloke we’ve fielded in a team for a long time.

McInerney got the yips something fierce.

Probably shouldn’t have let them have 200 uncontested possessions in the first half.

 

[Bloody]

IDC about the dodgy umpiring late. Playing 2 quarters we deserved to lose

 

[Millky95]

Now we can pretend this was an honourable loss.

Which is paper covering fissures

 

[Citrus22]

Sheldrick looked like he belonged, really did some nice things and actually took his opportunity to put it on the board. Play him in the 22 pleaseeeeee

 

[RocketBooster]

Zero tackles for:
Wicks
Corey Warner
Sheldrick
Roberts
Rampe
Mcinerney
McCartin
Francis

 

[Jeffers]

No second half comeback can erase that shitful, lazy first half.

Paper over the cracks effort in the second half.

 

[Kapers]

Essendon are quite woeful.

We were just worse.

 

[Millky95]

But Hamling has got to be the dumbest bloke we’ve fielded in a team for a long time.

Still has more flags than almost everyone else on the list

 

[Citrus22]

We won inside 50’s easily but our forward line has to currently be one of the worst in the league.

 

[Foreign Legion]

4 games this year we have kicked badly - we have won 2 of them somehow. But it costs us wins and percentage too.

Round 3 V Freo 9G 14B - we won luckily

Round 6 V Port 10.17 - 8 point loss

Round 8 V Giants 12.15 - a win amazingly

Round 8 V Essendon 8.15 - 8 point loss

 

[Troystenvic]

Our forward line injuries have hurt. Shots at goal are woeful. Cost us this game and probably Brisbane and Port too.

A makeshift forwardine has cost us dearly.

Why can't we play with intensity when the game is up for grabs and not rely on big deficits to motivate us.

Wasting a year very quickly.

 

[Tedeski]

Softest 3 quarters of footy I've seen from a team in red & white.

Mcinerney just cannot kick the ball. He's a liability unfortunately, along with Lloyd
