Essendon vow enough is enough

[PetterdHoisted]

is it just me, or does it always seem to be EFC talkng this 'enough is enough' language, was that Jobe W. just before garbling something about Merret's captancy bringing out his nastiness?

old school themes compared to the vulnerability/togetherness stuff that have been the mantra of most recent premiership teams.

doing way better than I expected against Sydney though.

They was well 'ard for 2 quarters tonight.

 

[SSSSSS]

Should get them back on the juice again.

 

[DeathlyAccurate]

So their edge is a cheap shot before crumbling to being what we all expect?

Cool.

At least they showed something. Going in the right direction

Been a meek team for too long.
Good to see we're bringing a bit of physicality to our game. Did the hawks and tigers no harm

Physicality means nothing if you still end up losing.

In the end, the cheap shots only served to poke the bear and they’ll now be without 2mP for a while …

Pretty good performance last night all things considered. Very competitive on the road against what looks like one of the better sides.

Nothing much to the Wright incident and not sure why anyone would think it’s part of something bigger. It was a footy collision but hardly premeditated. He’ll get suspended because that’s how the game works these days but he was just protecting himself rather than trying to whack somebody.

This macho stuff is pretty cringe when you get run over.

And even more pathetic when the opponent goes “yeah, we knew they were going to come out and act tough, but we also knew they couldn’t sustain it and we can”.

Got alpha’d pretty hard last night.

Maybe need to learn to speak with their actions rather than just announcing “we are really scary and hard” then rolling over.

Swans tried some of that adolescent tough stuff last season (nothing as egregious as the late hits from Wright and Draper) and it was pretty embarrassing to watch.

World’s difference from that sort of malarkey and actually just physically dominating your opponent like the Cats did to us in the GF.

This “Essendon Edge” stuff is embarrassing and is fake toughness that achieves nothing.

Nothing fake about it.

Scott just wants more intensity and aggressive effort at the ball.

So
Settle down with your fake tough internet posting …mate

Clearly wasn’t a cheap shot. Had eyes for the ball and was jumping for it and didn’t see the playing coming in from an angle until last moment and he braced instinctively.

Think we just ran out of legs in last quarter and couldn’t keep up with Sydney’s fitness.

You're a flag contender
We're rebuilding

5 goal loss loss was half as bad as most were expecting

Calm down

Do you really think that you played better than expected because of 'physicality'?

When did the rebuild start exactly?

After all the ‘nice guy’ football we’ve played over the last ten years it is good to see us having an attitude of contest intensity. We were right in this game and matched it with your mob for the most part. We fell short which is a testament to the Swans culture of doing this for 20 years. If you were in our shoes you’d be stoked with the change in intensity. There was nothing done by our players that had malicious intent as much as you’d all like to jump up and down about Wright’s marking attempt. He’s a gentle giant and it’s not in his make-up to deliberately take someone out. The vagaries of our game’s MRO rules vs instinct is where the issue is there. I find it all very amusing that Swans fans are getting their noses out of joint because we dared to be more physical. Comes across as being a bit sensitive.

You tell me.

Couple of years ago when we drafted Perkins. Cox and Reid

Truth is … you’re neither and haven’t got the stones to do either properly.
No man’s land is your right whack …
