Game Day Round 1, 2017: Essendon v Hawthorn, MCG

[The A Team Van]

Four goals in five minutes. They can totally do this. Who's with me??

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

i call it as it is...truth just hurts for some...all I've read all pre-season is how this team isn't cooked. Great young players under 23 coming through blah blah blah...the fact Kade Stewart and Teie Miles weren't selected is disgraceful. They select Taylor duryea, billy Hartung and will Langford instead....
Stewart
Miles
Hardwick
Lovell
Brand
Hearherly
All need to play 10+ games this season.

Won't complain about that. Miles, maybe but Stewart more than earned the right to be selected.

 

[ShoveYourCOLA]

Few players need to look hard at themselves after this

Hopefully they will get ample chance to do so next week at Box Hill

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

I'll stand with you

 

[The A Team Van]

The umpires have the ability to overrule that and call for the review.

Well they are pricks for not looking at it

 

[Lebbo73]

We're really missing Mitchell, Lewis and Hill's forward 50 entries.

They usually lowered the eyes and hit targets.

Letting Sam go, a club legend, is a hard pill to swallow about now.

 

[Hawks1994]

I love Clarko with all my heart and trust his selections but the axe needs to swing. This clearly isn't going to be a premiership year to time to reward form not reputation

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Who did Henderson just get killed via another cheap turnover?

 

[Notsoyabby]

Not returning players....DRUG CHEATS

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

You're on your own now

 

[The A Team Van]

I'll stand with you

lol that went well. Six in four??

 

[Beandip]

Wow... how you could let the exact same set play happen twice .... that's embarrassing.

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

Who did Henderson just get killed via another cheap turnover?

Bruest for probably the 5th time tonight.

Me!

 

[Max Powers]

Commentators jizzfest on the brave Bombers is too much now

 

[SSSSSS]

Billy is just so vanilla. A very nothing player.

 

[Jimmy#17]

Breust

 

[MistyAvalon]

and to think all the crap we went through to get that jom loser......... I said at the time.............. I am so ashamed to call myself a hawker........ I have never been so ashamed of the performance in the last q... the maggots were more vicious in the first three.

Now I knew we were going into the wilderness..... I was prepared to lose.............but t his...............

 

[Bradkli]

Think this is bad....next week a forward line of Jenkins, Walker, McGovern, Lynch, Betts and Cameron. If Essendon have put up 120+ what will the Crows put up?

 

[bugalugs213]

The bulldogs's the giants's the Dee's are gunna put some points on us this year.
Hopefully we cop them on really rainy and windy days.
Gunna be a long year.

The mute button is your friend.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Letting Sam go, a club legend, is a hard pill to swallow about now.

It was a huge mistake, no ifs or buts.

 

[Max Powers]

The mute button is your friend.

Yep it is on mute now

 

[Hodgey09]

Anyone else blocking Essendon supporter friends numbers right now?
If I didn't and kept watching this game I'd have no mates and no roommate by tomorrow. * this right off.

I don't like our game plan/they way were structure up. I don't like the way we use the ball into our f50. I don't like how we get opened up consistently by lateral movement, yet can't do it ourselves. I don't like how s**t our rucking is.
That has nothing to do with heart.

We got out ran by a team who should theoretically have a significantly worse fitness base. That's just unacceptable.

Every loose ball they outnumbered us. Every contest they swarmed and spread. Every turnover they split us up. Their work rate and desire to win was certainly much better than ours.
