Proud!!!!!

[BomberAce7]

Im proud the way the guys fought it out right the final siren. Our 3rd qtr was sensational but with no bench we just couldnt go on with it unfortunately. No team can win a match with zero players on the pine!

 

[S.C[BANKS]]

I'm proud yet angry at the same time.

Good game, I look forward to next year when we actually get a decent run with our injuries.

 

[OzBomber]

I'm proud of all the boys bar Laycock.

It was a great effort. How good were we in that 3rd quarter to fight back from a 30 point deficit. We may have lost, but we showed out fighting spirit yet again. Some people on this board think when we're getting smashed we're out of it, but they have to know that Essendon always fight back.

Yeah im angry too mate.

 

[TigerCleavage]

I'd be proud too. Showed a lot of heart to keep fighting like that. My respect for essendon continues. Unfortunately you have a little troll named 12345 who should be chained to a block of cement and dropped into the yarra.

Good luck for the rest of the year bombers. Fantastic game today.

 

[win1soon]

Played well bombers. just unlucky with injuries. goodluck with rest of season

 

[Kit146]

oh no if we had no bench what were these injuries

 

[OzBomber]

Thanks Richmond fans, good to see you come over to us, even though you won. Good luck you guys as well.

 

[BomberAce7]

oh no if we had no bench what were these injuries

Welsh - concussion
Monfries - ANKLE
Neagle - Ankle

 

[Jono B]

I am extremly proud. A hard running side should have completely demolished us.

 

[Kit146]

Welsh - concussion
Monfries - ANKLE
Neagle - Ankle

any able to return to the field

how long will that keep them out for

 

[Kaan]

Welsh - concussion
Monfries - ANKLE
Neagle - Ankle

They had more influence for the game on the bench than Laycock!

 

[bomberstomake8]

if the three injuries we got dont pull up for next week who is going to come in?

are we going to have to promote magin? he really doesnt seem ready to me
and if fletcher doesnt pull up were in even more trouble

i would say bring gumby back straight to the side but he would break his leg in the first 2 minutes.

not true, laycock had more influence on the game, he influenced the game in richmonds favour

whats wrong with fletcher

 

[Sam the RAMA fan]

I am proud as well!
Did very well with 3 players down..and Richmond are such a quick side.
Great turn around when you think about the last time we played them.
I do feel abit sad that we didnt win..could of been a game or 2 outside the 8,
but hey,I didnt expect us to make the 8 this year anyway.

I think the team is doing well considering we have a new coach,
game style,players etc. Look forward to next season.

GREAT EFFORT BOYS!!
HOLD YOUR HEADS UP HIGH!

 

[Jono B]

With these injuries it is pretty obvious to me what changes should be made if no-one gets up.

Hocking into Welsh's role
Magin into Monfries role
Hooker into Neagles role

and maybe Rama out with Hislop in.

 

[AndyLesPaul]

not true, laycock had more influence on the game, he influenced the game in richmonds favour

not true, he got a goal in the last quarter and at least 3 sitters of a shot at goal

 

[waiting since 80]

yeah it kills me too say this.... but i think you guys would of won today had you had a full bench to rotate players in the last quarter!, bit like the Bulldogs game you had earlier in the year.

Like the way the our old no.33 is coaching you guys.

Yeah, I'm so proud to be an Essendon supporter tonight. The team showed lots of guts to nearly pinch an amazing win against tremendous odds.

 

[TigerTuff2008]

Must agree, remarkable 2nd half with 3 down.

lost no repect today.

I can see many close encounters for the years to come!

go easy on laycock, he did set up a goal in last qtr, every player can have an average day now and again - just ask Jay Shultz about 3 weeks ago...
