Game Day Round 11: Dreamtime at the G - Essendon v Richmond, Saturday 2/6/18 - 7.25pm AEST

[VelvetSledge]

Could have sworn that Smith was just held off the ball I50?

 

[scythe]

I left and I hate myself for it. It goes against every moral fibre in my body and I feel like absolute scum right now, but I just wasn’t capable of seeing it out.

 

[Macca18]

And people during the pre-season actually predicted we would finish above Richmond this year.

Can't write this s**t. Nothing has changed since that first pre-season game... we have learnt nothing whatsoever.

They are very good. We are very mediocre to poor.

 

[sameolds33]

our forward coach should be ashamed of himself - such poor structure against a strong defence

put Skippy back in charge of it

Who did? Who said that we would finish above the reigning premiers?

 

[Runk]

Get the kids in from now on. Francis, Redman and Clarke. Richmond’s intent is something to behold.

 

[VelvetSledge]

Feels like we're playing Mark is Up with the Richmond defence

 

[Pweter]

He doesn't have the engine. That's not the only problem but it's a significant problem.

I took the engine of a ruckman as a compliment... old skool where they'd lumber all day and not get any shorter. Yeah, repeat efforts at pace in modern footy, embarrassed to say I needed you to point out the intent.

 

[Drummer_19]

My favourite part of watching us bomb it long and high to a 2 v 3 or 2 v 4 is the 2 we have are tiny and are waiting down for a crumb and the Richmond guy just takes an easy intercept.

 

[Runk]

We’ve literally been forced to kick to no one in our forward fifty all night. We are the tigers bitch

 

[KevDawg]

How about we DON’T tackle and spoil each other all night.

 

[Pweter]

I tell you, if Langford get dropped as per precedence after a thumping like this I will mash my keyboard/keypad so ******* hard. His first half was very good, gone missing since but he's barely Robinson Crusoe there.

You following my posts tonight or something?

Here we go... the denials.

Go and have a good read at the AFL season guides in both the Herald Sun & The Age from mid-March. Also take a read of some of the ladder prediction threads on the main board from over the pre-season.

Sadly a reflection of the respective midfields.

Dominate and you kick to a structure, get dominated and you bomb to the opposition or Alwyn Davey.

 

[Colonelmot]

Conor yer a fekin legend!

Brayshaw: "If they're wearing black and white, they've had another good night against Essendon"

How much do these people get paid?

You talk a lot of crap. What denials are you on about?

Need to stop with this BS narrative about what the supporters say every single time we lose. It has nothing to do with how the club is performing

 

[MightyDon]

That is an 10m kick, mark paid

 

[JayJ20]

Our biggest ever loss to Richmond is 74. 8 mins to protect that record.

It's all about the small wins

 

[VelvetSledge]

 

[Drummer_19]

Fancy footwork there from Lav in a tight space, almost like he could play some sort of inside mid role or something......

 

[Runk]

In no way the worst player out there tonight. There have been guys with more disposals who’ve been much much worse. BUT! This is a game where the tigers have dictated terms all night. Game plan has not worked tonight. Too tall up front. No X factor.
