AFL Autopsy Hawthorn

[JETTA7]

why drop heppe

In: Hooker, Pears, Crameri, Hurley, Hibberd, Lonergan, Reimers, Dyson
Out: Delolio, Melksham, Baguley, Hepell, hille, davey, monfries,

WHY WOULD U DROP HEPPELL??? ARE YOU STUPID? HE IS A SECOND YEAR PLAYER 1st ROUND DRAFT PICK PURE CLASS ONE OF OUR BEST PLAYERS...

 

[Dwight Schrute]

We're no better than we were in 2009. I hope we don't make the 8. We'll only be on the of another belting. Hand The Weapon his marching papers, Crameri and Hurley need to put on ice for 2012 and get some games into the youngsters and make the seniors earn their way back in. Belly to ruck solo until Paddy returns and begin parading our mid tier players in front of GCS and GWS for some draft picks.

We'll seriously end up like the Tigers and begin some sort of 5 year project each pre-season otherwise.

1 win over a top 8 side heading into round 19 is simply not good enough.

False.
Injuries.

Zaharakis, Ryder, Hurley, Hibberd, Crameri, Myers.

3 top 5 players.
Best small defender and Best/Second best forward.

 

[Dwight Schrute]

I left at half time. Don't even feel guilty for it.

So did I. .

• Melkshim is a **** piece of ***** his mum ***** will never be good
• Hardingham = slattery with marking ability
• Delolio weak as piss
• Monfries too slow **** piece of ******8
• Hille terrible pls go hatte that ******
• Baguley overrated as ****

like this if u agre

That'll do Fatessendonman, that'll do.

Simple no heart...Hille has to go, I'd rather run Bellcho into the ground, at least he looks interested. Can someone tell hardingham that the footy isn't a punching bag, you don't need a massive wind up to spoil the ball, had a shocker. Dell, done.

Watson is a star! Hawthorn smashed him whenever he had a possession and we did nothing to protect him!
Gumby just kept presenting.
Monfries was OK.
Bellcho at least tried.

Browne and Kav will be good.

Melksham...how does he get a game?
Heppell...butchered it and ZERO intensity, give him a rest.
Jetta needs to step up and win some hard ball instead of getting cheapies.
Hille...can't believe he was in contention for the captaincy
Stanton...needs to be able to deal with a tag

Don't know what else to say... Gutted...never thought we'd win but thought we would show some spirit.

 

[Dwight Schrute]

Hardy up forward, Hibbo in. Try some experimenting.

 

[ZAAHAARAKIS!!!!!]

7 points for mine.

people looking for the weapon to be sacked are short sighted full stop.

Jake Carlisle will be an absolutely immense player, future AA fb.

the loss is tempered by the fact that we saw a few new faces, licka sorta struggled to come to terms with the pace, but that is to be expected. First time I have closely watched gumby in his comeback and I love what I see, and then browne and kav, who really did all they could given the result.

I win over a top 8 team is disappointing, but to be honest we were never going to seriously challenge this year. From my POV this year was always going to be more about teaching, improving fitness, and getting games into those 20-50 game players than it was about results.

Dustin Fletcher's hair gets redder every week, the man is aging backwards, (was magnificent again in my eyes)

Courtenay Dempsey needs to pull his head in.

would be very disappointing if we gave dell a senior spot next year.

I'm surprised you even went tbh


Really, I don't think we learnt too much tonight:
A) Browne and Kav ideally would not be anywhere near the team. promising, not ready. (Yep. Knew that)
B) Hardingham can make terrible mistakes (Yep. Knew that)
C) Playing 3 small forwards when your midfield is struggling is dumb (Well duh)
D) Jake Melksham is Jake Melksham
and so forth

This wasn't a good team we sent out. We were playing the premiership favourites. We were already struggling to field a good team, and then we lost two key players and replaced them with a small forward and a 1st gamer. I'm finding it hard to get too upset. A smashing was in order. The Dell selection is the only thing that pisses me off because it was oh so preventable and oh so doomed to fail. But Browne not doing much and Winders struggling? Well what did you expect


I will say that talk of Dell being done full stop is silly. Premature to say the least. 3 small forwards blah blah blah. davey was shit too.

23 touches and 3 tackles, not enough for ya???

 

[Ess_don]

Like some on here.. not even mad like previous bad losses. Maybe since the outcome was obvious from the first quarter (8 ****ing goals before we got our first with 15secs to go) I was prepared to what was the thumping we got.

Poor Watson, busting a gut doing it all on his own like before.

What's wrong with Stants? Anyone heard anymore? Another bloody soft tissue??
Do we have anymore players from Bendigo to bring up?? Colyer? Surely he cant be that bad and at least he has a crack..

 

[Phone]

23 touches and 3 tackles, not enough for ya???

he did get lost a couple of times when he was the one tasked to drop back with the flight into a pack. Bit annoying. Don't think it's courage or anything, he just looked lost

 

[Summer Nights]

The worst performer for Essendon at the moment is the selection committee. Terribly out of form.

 

[MadBomberman]

Hate Hawthorn soooo much! Don't know about Essendon either at the moment...
Pleeeeaaaaase do not go to Adelaide next week!
Wasn't angry at all since that Melbourne loss, but now I am mad!
Hills is a liability. He is done
Dell cannot be played together with Davey and jetta
Melksham needs to go. Cannot believe he has played every game this season.
To be beaten by 94 points is gutless!
To concede 180 is disgusting, even taking into account our injuries!

Never have I seen such a gutless performance. Hawks were good, but we have played better teams and put on a better performance. Disgraceful. Hird, kill them on the training track this week.

 

[Knight Ryders]

The worst performer for Essendon at the moment is the selection committee. Terribly out of form.

I'd agree with that.

Got to be ****ing pumped about big Gumbleton though considering we thought he'd never play again.

 

[AtomicBlonde]

Monfries had 18 touches and if he kicked straight he would have 4 goals. A couple of minor mistakes yes, but he certainly wasn't the only one tonight. Not to mention getting cleaned up by Dell in our forward 50 as he was about to pass it off for a near certain goal. Stat sheet says zero tackles but I could swear I saw him lay at least two. I just don't get the hate for Gus, it makes no sense that it has become so vitriolic. He must be the new Stanton. Pull ya heads in flogs.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Monfries 0 tackles and %50 disposal efficiency.

 

[dnbassador]

Im based in Adelaide was pumped to go to the Crows vs Bombers game all year but as a die hard bombers supporter i not even interested in attending when we play with no heart

 

[AtomicBlonde]

he did get lost a couple of times when he was the one tasked to drop back with the flight into a pack. Bit annoying. Don't think it's courage or anything, he just looked lost

It's called "inexperience".

 

[AtomicBlonde]

Monfries 0 tackles and %50 disposal efficiency.

Face it, you have a man-crush and you are confused by your feelings...

 

[ZAAHAARAKIS!!!!!]

hey, check it out, it's out first choice forward line.
Monfries Hurley Zaharakis
Crameri Ryder Jetta.

would be fairer to assess where we are at when we get them back on the park, (only excluding gumby because he hasn't played with them all together

 

[BrunoV]

Why is it Hille that is cooked after every one of these performances.

Bellchambers was ******* shit. His ruck work sucks and he is just as "lazy" around the ground.

He has not taken the spot from Hille and I don't care what anyone says.

Hardingham is another...he is one of the few actually attacking the ball and making the play and yet he is the problem.

 

[Phone]

It's called "inexperience".

Well he is 25. I'm not sure he can claim that like Kav could...

seriously are we going with the no heart thing?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

I won't say much but I will say this

1. Lets not bag players, everyone bar Watson was off, lets be honest here
2. Hird and Thompson must have a damn good reason to bring in a small forward for a key back...structure was out the door
3. If I see Hille playing key forward next week, we will lose

On the positive, my multi is still on lol

 

[yaco55]

Too many injured players - That sums it up - Get back Zaharakis/Myers/Hooker/Hurley/Ryder/Crameri/Hibberd - Get back these 7 players and we are a 10 goal better side.

 

[AtomicBlonde]

Well he is 25. I'm not sure he can claim that like Kav could...

No, forget his age, how many games has he played?

Our depth is not such where we can bring in these third and fourth-rung players and expect them to be match winners because they haven't had the games put into them over the last few years. The "no heart thing" is a bit of a myth. Early in the year we had plenty of it and it helped contain our few losses to that of only a few points (ANZAC Day and Swans match). But in the current state we are in, it's a bit hard to monitor because we have so many players out and no Plan B as to how to counter act that.
