Pos/Neg v Essendon
Pos:
- we can let go of that faint finals hope and that we'd do anything. even if we won, and made finals, we'd be shown up straight away. the experience for the younger guys would be good.
- hurn first half. outstanding. what happened in the second man? barely sighted. still such a gun
- i have made a decision to stop putting so much emotional investment into this team. i enjoy loads of sports, and i've been incredibly passionate about loads of teams over the years. but by and large most of them i'm now quite passive about. i love when they win, it sucks when they lose but hey life goes on and who cares..... the eagles was the last team - and the first (many years ago) - that i was really full on about supporting. but after sitting through that second half and seeing that piece of shit soft cocked performance when the season was on the line, it just doesn't really matter to be honest. it doesn't seem to matter to the players - at least not in their actions - so why should it to the fans?
neg:
- that second half way a steaming pile of dog shit. and then when you factor in it was season on the line stuff.... wow. and these guys get picked 200k+ to deliver that.
- essendon's disposals in the first half was beyond diabolical. and we coudln't put them to the sword. they may be a team that is hoping to play finals but they played shit tonight and we couldn't hurt them.
- seeing priddis, hutchings and gaff line up for a centre bounce. there were midfields in the 1920's that had more leg speed than that.
- nicnat was useless.
- australian sport isn't like american sport. if it was american sport i'd cut 75% of our list and start again. but that doens't happen our way. that is what we need to do. we are going nowhere without some serious injection of quality.
- cox? come on man
- tackling. dropped off like flies.
if you like shanks and dropped marks under minimal pressure then yeah!!!
