Have a look at this.

Well at least we will have fresh legs next week

 

[Burzum]

so your saying we should start tanking? Is it a superdraft?

Well, we don't have a first round draft pick this year...

Thurgood, with a succession plan for Goodthur to take over in 2022

Was devestated to read last year that “ the Goodthur ruse” didn’t actually involve Thurgood.

The sad and funny bit yesterday was when Keefe was on the exercise bike getting his knee back into condition after it looked like he either snapped it in half or did his acl I was thinking he's going to go out there and earn a bit of respect and do quite well.

I didn't expect he'd monster our backmen and kick 3.2 on one leg. He even out ran them at one stage.

Part of me wants to think this was JLT3 for us.
Too many preseason injuries, players not ready. The JLT's we had we had to limit minutes
Hepp asked for patience. Woosha said we weren't expected win.

The other part of me thinks wtf was the rest of the 22 doing
I can excuse the likes of Merrett, Heppell and Smith being off their usual pace given their preseason.

And if playing them now was better for the rest of the season, so be it.
But outside Stringer, McGrath, Saad and Shiel, everyone else played like they hadn't played a game in over 12 months.

So angry....their lack of effort and system! My anger means nothing to anyone else but if they trot out that shite before a home crowd there will be ugliness!

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Remember when we drafted Myers ahead of Dangerfield, Rioli and Rance, jack Steven..... taylor walker and Easton Wood?

He was a consensus top 6 pick, let’s not rewrite history here

 

[citizen-erased]

Yeah. It was Myers or the typical essendon pick of Rioli.
At the time there was hope we were bucking nostalgia over progress
irony is cruel.

By the last 15 minutes I was twiddling my thumbs waiting to post the autopsy thread. I doubt there’s an essendon supporter alive that wasn’t relieved to hear that siren.

All teams round one disposal efficiency is down but as our game style/plan relies on fast ball movement and high disposal efficiency, this I believe was the main reason for the poor result. Adelaide Crows have a similar game style and not surprising they also got beat. Not as bad as ours but they were playing at home. Those teams that have a game plan of scoring from turnovers/stoppages then a low disposal efficiency would suit them. As the year continues and match conditioning improves the disposal efficiency, I am sure Essendon along with Adelaide, will start winning games.
Some point to Neeld leaving Essendon as the reason why we improved in the second half last year, this may still have been the case, but I am sure as we became more match conditioned and our efficiency improved this in turn suited our game which I am sure will be the same this year. Question is can we get enough wins early in the year to get us to the finals.

Why he’s a ******* spud now too

Captained his side to a grand final. David Myers cant open a pack of chips without spilling some, tearing a hamstring or ruining an 8 year olds day.....

But he is a great guy..... the boys love him..... he is a great off field leader......

Mediocrity is stemmed from what we accept

Well the numbers would be pretty high tracking the flight back to melb

I would say that that is pretty low across the board

 

[Shane Heard]

If that’s accurate..jeepers Christ almighty

 

[eth-dog]

11 sprint efforts and Stringer had 6. Sheesh.

 

[Shane Heard]

I don’t how they record those stats ..looks a bit dodgy to me

 

[quotemokc]

28 sprints efforts for an entire team doesn't even sound right.

Unless they use a particular speed to define a sprint.

There’s speed stats galore

 

[Shane Heard]

Mitch the endurance king..I’m really confused now

 

[eth-dog]

I guess those half a dozen games were an outlier

anyone got graphs?

Here's two:




Would you like me to compare it with other forward/rucks in the league?

 

[Bunk Moreland]

All these GPS numbers just sound like bullshit

 

[The Speaker]

Weren't we saying in the thread earlier that the GPS was broken?

 

[rumply]

All these GPS numbers just sound like bullshit

Yeah not a lot of faith that they are anywhere near accurate.
