[Lore]

Essendon after Ridley got hurt

 

[boncer34]

I'm sick of brave losses

Who gave away the free in the last 30 seconds?

 

[RearNaked]

s**t choice not bringing a key back in

 

[Lore]

Who gave away the free in the last 30 seconds?

one of the umps

 

[Zach Package]

**** knows how we got that close after being out on our feet for so long but good on them, they had a dip and went again when pretty well everyone knew it was a lost cause.

 

[Stopher]

Who gave away the free in the last 30 seconds?

What was it even for?

Who gave away the free in the last 30 seconds?

the umpire

 

[Cup_o_Jobe]

Umps finished the game as they begun. Plucking a decision from the lightless fathoms.

But the thing that cost us was the unforced errors. Again. I know Brad says you can't coach skill errors, but you sure as hell can train them. Needs to be a priority for the rest of this season.

 

[fishardansin]

The umpires are cruel! After a bunch of crap free kicks to us to keep us in the game they pay that one to finish the game off!! lol

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

We’re not good enough but there is improvement in the mental will to try and stick with it.

Obviously need a lot more consistency and our fitness is found out against the best teams.

We have talent and a decent coach it seems so that’s a start.

 

[gillon]

Man I don’t know how we let it get knocked over the line

 

[TheUnicorn]

That was an absolute Smashing I don't give a stuff about the 5pt margin we should have lost by 60pts. Horrible showing of footy.

 

[Goat Hird]

Phillips almost football legends

 

[raskolnikov]

We could have been 6-2. Now it's season over after we lose to Brisbane next week.

 

[Bjchan13]

Rough

 

[Watson_my_mind]

*sake Phillips if you're gonna take 40 seconds then make sure you can kick the bloody distance

 

[Blind Turn]

Well that sucks.

The bloke who took out our key defender behind the play gets important scores near the end.

 

[rumply]

Note for practice next week Braddles - ******* HANDBALLS

 

[Ozzie93]

so many poor disposals... davey useless again, along with hind and well heppell is heppell

 

[naraku]

Haven't seen a single thing to suggest Port are a good side. Hometown bullies that will fold when it matters. Will then have Koch, Port and Hinkley bitch for a month.



2.6 in last when we missed 3 times for the entire match. Typical.
Too many basic skill errors and intercept turnovers.

 

[andleanback]

s**t choice not bringing a key back in

Would Reid actually make any difference underdone. We would’ve been okay if rioli didn’t dog shot Ridley

 

[Inspecta Gadget]

We played well enough today to lose by 60, so not sure what to make of the 5 point margin

 

[Happyskeret]

I don’t want to be too negative but gee that stings.

 

[The Devils Advocate]

Another brave loss by the Essendon Football Club, yay!

Team defense, Parish, Merrett and Langford the only positives.
