Cunnington immense in the Essendon victory at the death.

Stringer, Saad and Smith all superb, again.
You need to take the rose colour glasses off. Smith was terrible and his 15 touches was well short of his season average of 20. Higgins had 14 on him in the 1st quarter. Stringer is over weight and played a 5 min patch and then blew up - Dogs a massive chance to win this trade with the way Richards is going.

Stringer only getting fitter and still kicking 3 a week, Saad make you guys look foolish and 45yrs old. Smith was down, and you let Heppell and Merrett burn you to pieces. Brad out coached, laughable he thought you could go with us in an attacking game.

Smith was bad today but has been great all season.

Saad and Stringer were fantastic. Saad's explosiveness through the middle help set up multiple scoring chances, and Stringer had 3 goals + 1 goal assist (including the game sealing goal that came from a weak Cunnington cheap shot). Stringer really building into the back end of the year.

Great inclusions the lot of them. It's nice to have good players wanting to come and play for your club without having to offer them 10 million dollars.
 
How poor were the 3? Smith for a 1st rounder is getting worse and worse - was that even legal what Higgins did to him in the 1st quarter? Good luck in recovering from than Devon.
Was this the same Higgins that got thoroughly toweled by Dyson "Captain Soft" Heppell after quarter time? Was expecting something on missing persons. And you blokes think he's elite, now that's funny!
 
Imagine pumping up Ben Cunnington all year only for him to be outperformed around the stoppages by a little manlet who you denigrate at every chance, because that's what ol' Bill is going through right now.

North out of the 8 and only 1 game ahead of hapless Essendon. Your season is over, and we ended it, again.
We are % out of the 8 with the Suns in Melb next week .Yeah over:drunk:

Its round 15 and he is not fit? That's embarassing - he needs to stay out of the under age discos and get on a tread mill.

Mate, you were monties to beat us remember?

Lucky to win against the Doggies and dominated by Essendon today. It's falling apart faster than a North banner in the wet
 
Eh. Well this is totally off-topic.

If you want to talk about the game there are threads on both club boards and the main board.

given the 3 have been immense the last month and a half and were pretty good when the team was down there isn't much value in the thread other than for us EFC supporters to gloat and opposition fans to troll based on the weeks results.

not sure there is much more to expect from this thread.
other than praising Dodoro ;)

Commenting on SSS week to week is fine, as is praising Dodoro :p Commenting on North and their finals prospects is well outside the scope of the thread.

Smith was the lowest ranking ess player on the ground today - only Murphy was ranked lower in the game.

Your 3 bottom ranked players were Smith, Ambrose & Saad. If your going to bump this thread when they play well its getting bumped when they have a shocker. I hope Dodoro recruits for another 15 years., The facts don't lie.

A shocker eh? Saad had more bounces than North's entire team. To be fair North's team are all slow plodders so I guess that's an easy win.
Stringer kicked more goals than Ben Brown today.
Smith is leading the competition in tackles.

Feel free to bump after North loses to us with all 3 of these blokes in the side all you want.

Ah Bill, you see we recruited Smith for more than just a game today. We recruited him for the entire 2018 season (and beyond), which so far he's been in career best form and definitely worthy of what we gave up for him (effectively a pick in the 50's). The thread gets bumped purely because you had a lot to say earlier in the season and now it's coming back to bite you. It is a great piece of recruiting, something that North has not had a lot of luck with recently. Kelly, Dusty, now De Goey... The facts don't lie.

Calling us slow plodders while you're 12th on the ladder!! Slow is better than soft.

You gave away a 1st round pick for a bloke than can tackle - and do very little else. Saad has a couple of flashy runs and then defensively gets opened up. Feel free to bump when you win a final - until you do your recruiting will be questioned. It ain't happening this year - with these 3.

We have won a lot of finals since 2004. Higgins, Waite, NPS and Jacobs have all helped win finals. Higgins is a jet. But please start a thread on our recruiting. It has clearly been better than yours.

You gave up pick 50 for Smith? You recruited the wrong players - 12th doesn't lie.
