Congrats Dees

My boys fought hard, but were outclassed in the end, was a great game to watch, except for the umpires, they were doing their best to spoil it.

All the best for the finals.

Thanks mate, we were lucky to get away with that one really. You guys should have been at least a few goals up at half time if umpiring and kicking permitted.

Thanks mate, its a good feeling to be entering the break on.

I actually thought it was on ordinary spectacle today.

But that is understandable. We came off three big, emotional weeks against West Coast, St. Kilda and Collingwood, now we come up against the worst team in the competition so the motivation might not have been at 110%.

Good teams can win when they're down and thats what you guys did well done

Thanks for being good sports.

Thanks to all Essendon fans for their well wishes.

However, I cannot thank your side for making us play some of the ugliest footy I have seen since that horrendous game against Sydney at the Dome in 2004.
After the skills and poise of last week, it was like the Melbourne boys swapped jumpers with Sunshine under 9's*, such was the crapness of the game.



*With apologies to the kiddies at Sunshine

That was quite possibly the worst game of AFL I have every been to. Win, lose or draw.

Not sure how old you are but I have been to worse, even this year against the Kangas, that was terrible.

 

[Canna7]

For pure skill level, nothing can top Carlton vs. Richmond 2006.

You've got to be joking? What about the sublime skills on display, epitomised by Jamar's attempted handpass to Bruce in the goal square??

Again, shades of Sunshine under 9's, "sharing the ball" policy.

For such a big man, he sure doesn't seem to have a lot of mass upstairs. Not only could he have easily kicked it, Bruce should have too.
The best one for me was when Read ran into an open goal and dribbled the ball in. All class!

i walked away from the game feeling pretty hollow. Was a terrible display of footy from both sides.
