Good Game...

[jamesclean]

2nd year. Same as Pears, buddy

With the amount of goals kicked today and our slack accountability Pears did a wonderful job and should be a chance for the Rising Star nomination

yeah i wasn't denying they are both young players

just that you can't really use the word 'owned'

pears "LOOKS THE GOODS" etc.

thanks whomb! really great game of football. wonder how many times i'll watch it before next week... peace.

Congrats to the OP and the Adelaide supporters. It was a good game of footy. Pretty hard to be too dissapointed in our effort. I thought we toiled pretty hard but the Crowas were too strong out of the middle in the second half.

I really wish some posters would refrain from posting on our board until atleast Tuesday or Wednesday when we lose. So many dont post with any rationale and just seem intent on looking at negatives and potting our players. I know you do this because you are passionate about the team and you hate losing but you shouldnt post if your judgement is going to be so clouded.

I seriously reckon the Crows are not the far below the Saints in terms of the oppostion we have met this year. Not saying they are as good but simply refering to how they played against us on the day. They are a good team.

We will get Fletch, Winders and Hurley back in the next 2-3 games and we will be much better. Reimers, McVeigh and Prismall will get their match fitness up and be much better.

If we win 2 of the next 3 we are still in with a sneaky chance.

Great game up untill the second half.

I think every EFC supporter at 3qt knew that Adelaide were going to run away with the match.

Funny that because Neil Craig, at 3 qtr time yesterday, had something like a 2-38 win-loss ratio after being down at the final break, so we all thought you were going to run away with the match

Nevertheless, it was a great day at the footy and credit to the Essendon supporters. Probably one of the best opposition supporter groups I've experienced.

I still cannot believe we lost that one. Good game of footy all the same though.

Adelaide won't kick that straight again for the next 10 years - bookmark it. We just got them on one of those days when everything went right, yet we still led for 80% of the game.

Thanks to all of the Adelaide supporters for showing some of our "supporters" what humility is.

Ignore the ********s who want to drag your team, and Taylor Walker, down, because you have a bloody good list, and a very exciting future.

I must say, I had my doubts about your team before the season started, and I picked you to have a bit of a slump until the likes of Vince, van Berlo, Walker etc. stepped up, but I'm certainly eating my words now.

Yesterday, I was incredibly disappointed because I felt that we should have beaten you, but today, while I still think we shouldn't have let you back in, I'm taking heart from the fact that we pushed a very good side for 3 quarters, despite our obvious deficiencies (no back-up ruckmen, two players who were clearly underdone).

Both sides are building towards something special, and I'm glad Adelaide is going to do it with an exciting brand of footy, rather than Craig's old Crowbots.

Well done again.

I'll add my two cents to the Crows supporters thanking you for a great game of footy. I have a suspicion that we may have seen what will be the start of a great rivalry between our clubs in the next few years. You have a lot of upside and so do we.
Good luck for the rest of the season and hope we meet in a final.

Was an entertaining game. 40 goals in any game is great to watch. Both teams have some good youngsters. Patience is the key.
Even though we havent been that good in our second halves, we come up trumps for milestone games most of the time.
Both teams showed good signs at times.

Regardless of the result, it was a bloody great game to watch. Both teams played exciting footy and the goal kicking

Of course I'm gunna be happy with the result, but full credit to you guys for never giving up. Brilliant way for Tyson to celebrate his 300th.

Good luck for the rest of the year guys

A very entertaining game indeed. I thought it bodes well for the future of both clubs.

Well, everything went right insofar as goal kicking went, that is true (for both sides really), and this is more than a bit unusual for Adelaide.

But by no means did everything go right for Adelaide. The Bombers got off to a good start, and Adelaide were asleep at the wheel at the start of the game. After they woke up, on about seven occasions Adelaide got to within 3 to 4 points of the Bombers, only to pull a horrible clanger and gift the Bombers an easy goal to pull away again. I saw an incredibly unusual number of Adelaide's passes either fall short or go right over the target player's head. The way that this game was played, a clanger and turnover like that very often resulted in an opposition goal.

The fortunate thing, from an Adelaide point of view, was that on the seventh occasion that Adelaide got to within a single kick of the Bombers, finally Adelaide went ahead with it and scored more than a couple in a row.

It was a great game to watch, and anyone's game really, all day. Well played to the Bombers, who were missing some important players.

Are you talking about on bigfooty or at the game?

Because if it's at the game your lucky we didn't win. I got told we give it out like no other side does when we win, that's from plenty of oppisition supporters.
