Bendigo missing 4 of their better players an 4 Essendon players seriously short of match practice gives you the result.
Nothing seriously wrong. You simply are not going to run out games with 4 players whose fitness level where at between 60 to 80%.

Coburg had a couple of Richmond rookies and one Richmond senior listed player in their seconds side. They had no players playing themselves back to fitness.

This whole it does not look good stuff anoys me a little.
Essendon are not aligned with Bendigo to win VFL flags.
Essendon got exactly what we wanted out yesterdays game. Players got match fitness and the where able to play Hurley and Daniher back and forward. Prismal got more match time.

Why is it not good ? the only reason it is not good as if you look at it in terms of wanting results for Bendigo too.
We have not had too many players suffer development wise while they where with Bendigo. The results this year with Pears , Hooker , Daniher , Dempsey , Hocking , Lonergan and a few others have proven that playing in losing Bendigo sides has not been a problem.

Myers solid. Won a bit of the ball and contributed well. The trouble he had was when he got the ball and looked to run from half back there where no options forward for him to kick to for most of the game. Watching him run around i am sure he has some sort of groin niggle. He has a bit of the OP suffle going on when he runs.

Had a mate of mine go up to the game on the weekend and he told me pretty much what you have said in your post. Having watched Myers play a lot of his footy back here in W.A before being drafted, he has a very distinctive running gait. He tends to run very upright and shuffle somewhat. Some people may tend to mistake that gait as a perceived injury. Has had some groin soreness for about three years but nothing too serious as far as I know.
When he was at Perth they had identified the problem early and had managed the groin issue so that it didn't develop into OP.

I think Myers struggle at the moment is confidence. His interupted pre-season left him underdone and he has struggled for fitness in his early games.

I think an extended run in the two's will give him the confidence to find his natural game before bringing him back. All depends on injuries in the seniors I suppose.

On your other comment regarding Hurley not being the best player on the day, I have to agree in so far as the Bendigo games that I have seen when I come to Melbourne, the best player list is a precursor to players that are intended to be elevated for a senior game the next week, regardless of whether they were the best players or not.

The Essendon website tends to hype up the publicity around players coming back into the senior side whether they have been best on ground or not in the magoos.

I don't post that often but always regard your posts as very credible.

From your writing it's obvious that you don't have much going on inside your head (there is a strong connection between language and thought). So you should watch what you say, especially about what life should consist of -- that's a pretty deep area and I doubt you'll keep your head above water. Also, your opinion counts for about as much as a well-trained dog's. And finally, it's interesting that you're on BigFooty enough to feel justified in ridiculing one poster's activity -- so obviously you enjoy BF -- don't forget that it's posters like ant555 that make it work so well. Posters like yourself not only bring down the standard, they get high-horse posters like me clogging up the boards with posts like this that completely take your bait. (But I'll post this just in case it's even slightly successful in making you feel as stupid as you most certainly are.)

Scanlon has been good, but, the pace at VFL level has caught him out at times.

Haven't seen much of Birthesil.

Not sure if you would say it is the pace that has caught Scanlon out Pazza. I think its more the lack of options to go to that has caught him out. He has been consistantly in the better players.

Ben Birthisel has been playing seconds and has been ok but not great.

Funny that. I only post on 2 or 3 days in the week and the fact that i can not sit in front of the computor for longer than an hour would say that i actually do have a life.

The other really funny part is you are trolling through the Essendon board and your telling me i need to get a life :D

LMAO at you for such a pathetic attempt to troll :thumbsu:

Bendigo’s miserable season continued today with a 112-point loss to the Sandringham Dragons at the Trevor Barker Beach Oval.

The Bombers’ failed to kick a goal in the first half and whilst they showed fight and lifted their pressure late in the game; the score line did the talking.

The highlights from the day were the form of Brent Prismall and the return to football of Andrew Welsh from a serious pre-season ankle injury.

Welsh showed encouraging signs and got through 60 minutes of the game unscathed.

Jay Nash suffered a shoulder injury and is expected to miss a few weeks.

The Bombers’ were beaten 20.16 (136) to 3. 6 (24).

Essendon rookie, Thomas German was the Bombers’ best player for the day gathering countless possessions and 15 tackles. Darcy Daniher also played a vital defensive role for Bendigo - despite the difference in the score line, he never gave up.

Brent Prismall edges closes to a senior berth after playing a full game in the midfield and gathering 30 possessions. His awareness, hard running and use of the ball was on show in today’s game.
