AFL Toast Rnd 18: 29 point win against Freo

[Mr_McBoogerBalls]

I know people claim that Francis’ fitness is close but still just off - but surely he’s fitter than Goddard?

 

[MiguelM]

The defensive efforts from Saad were were almost match winning. So many times he stopped them getting out in space. Great 1 on 1 too, even against bigger opponents.

 

[Duckworth]

Season still alive, so have to be happy with that.

 

[doug85]

I’ll be shocked if we shoot up the ladder next year. every year I’m filled with optimism and hope only to be disappointed.

You’re “filled with optimism and hope”?

Mate this isn’t the delusional pearlers thread.

Tippa has been hanging around Coyler bit of fumblness has crept into his game

Just enjoy the win for once

I think it will all come down to round 23 against Port.

That time he owned Walters, early in the game, in the middle was superb.

 

[VelvetSledge]

Late to the game, wasnt allowed into the carpark, parked at crown, got to ground, left membership in car, app wouldn't work, got back to car, 3QT, cracked the shits and drove home.

Still won, and I dont understand the anger in this thread.

I'll update my feelings once I watch the replay.

 

[Duckworth]

It does look like going down to the wire. I know we are more likely to miss than to make it, but living on the edge like this keeps the games exciting.

 

[Zach Package]

We're getting really good at not putting our players in the best situations and roles for them to succeed.

Dea worked his way back into it well after he essentially moved to a full back role after half time, which is where I think he plays his best footy and in contrast Goddard got completely torched by a couple of massive hospital handballs.

Two players that need a little bit of help to be successful, Goddard because his new nickname should be the big ship and Dea because he's just flat out average

Just watch the 4th Quarter that you missed. You'll have an enjoyable evening.

 

[Rack Watts]

What a painful game swans will beat us next week

Lol. Shh

 

[Pevers-Legend]

Wtf? We had 21 behinds and doubled their inside 50 count just about.

Does Daicos have a brain though? I can't think of one intelligent thing he has ever said.

 

[Bigjobss]

A lot of Essendon supporters are sooks that want to watch the team coast home every week like its a practise session.

 

[Pevers-Legend]

Not his pressure acts though. Tippa defensively covered up his mistakes and then some.

 

[Eleven 38]

I thought Goddard was okay.

It would be more of a worry if he was still in our top 5 every week. He's not 26 anymore the 24-27yos are the ones that need to be in our best 5.

 

[Bombermania]

I can't remember the last time I ever saw a team so dominate yet play crap footy.

Should have kicked 20.10 instead of whatever we did kick

 

[JT_the_Man]

We were dominant, should’ve won by more.

 

[mike14]

A lot of Essendon supporters are sooks that want to watch the team coast home every week like its a practise session.

While a lot of that is true, watching us miss goal after goal is frustrating (and 6 of our first 9 behinds should have been goals), seeing us make the same mistakes week after week is frustrating, watching players miss targets is frustrating.
Rightly or wrongly the club talked themselves up a hell of a lot over the pre season and they've basically failed to deliver. It's great that they're winning, and I'm pretty sure everyone prefers watching a win vs a loss, but there is still a lot of ugliness in how we go about our footy

 

[Ozzie93]

Still can't understand how Colyer gets a game, such a s**t truck lmfao. Well grinded win even though we had 17 out on the field for most of the game.

 

[Bombermania]

Can we stop with these stupid toast threads. Played like s**t all day and barely scraped home against an incompotent Fremantle side.

A bit of burnt toast which lands on the floor butter side down is still toast.

A good side's sort of win.

We played similar against geelong years ago, dominated everything but lost the game. Can't remember which exact game it was.

 

[Highly Evolved]

All of those behinds...

Welcome back Fanta and Zaka - great games. The two best-ons for us.

Fantastic grab by Dev. Shattered for Smack.

 

[Alfred E Neuman]

The penny must’ve dropped when Woosha explained that golden opportunity didn’t mean you piss on it.
