Positives/negatives VS Essendon thread

[Doughboy]

It was a gutless effort by the boys in the second half. Either the team is mentally fragile or we do not have the leadership and class to absorb the pressure teams throw at us. I think a bit of both.

It's like when we are on a role, its all good and we look dangerous. However if we get challenged, then we go to water.

Gutless is a great way to describe it

MGovern's bump on Goddard and his general attack of the ball

Thought he was a bit lucky to be honest. It was his errant kick that caused the turnover then he probably should've tackled.

Good result though.

Another thing that pissed me off was bomber Thomson saying the dons deserved to play finals after all they had been through...fair dinkum! The scum should have been banned for 3 years. Shits me how the AFL have allowed Essendon to twist it all around so that they have become the victims. That they are even still in the cmpetition is a big negative, for me. You just don't know how long that stuff injected into them lasts.

**** yes! So much this. How they are still in the comp after what they've done is baffling compared to how we were threatened and treated just for rumours of recreational drug taking.

It did hurt but Simmo said he picked his best 22 and Dean happened to be in it. Struggling to think of who could have pushed Dean out of that best 22.

From who we have available - arguably no-one.
