Game Day Round 16 - Geelong v Essendon, MCG, Saturday 29/6/24, 7.30pm AEST

[jannissary]

sums up our season nicely, started well, fell off hard.

so it goes, this was always going to happen. wcyd

 

[YEMOC NAYR]

Embarrassing showing by the club.

 

[Its Manbearpig]

I honestly didnt see this coming. Given their outs & our reasonable form, this is simply not acceptable.

With a near full strength side, very poor showing.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

**** off Ling

As stated earlier, if you're infringed upon i50 and it isn't paid that skews the stats. If you're gifted a free in the goal square it skews the stats. Umpires suck.

sorry mate

but it's just delusional if you think umpires cost us this.

Just excuse making.

 

[Tassieboy]

Another goal off half-back

 

[Donakebab]

And off goes the TV.

 

[boncer34]

Give it a rest. The scoreboard is the only stat that matters when the game is done. When the flood of umpire ****ery started we were equally competitive.

And then we gave up.

Good teams don't give up.

 

[Call Me Cake]

The longer we keep Laverde and Heppell on the list the longer it'll take us to get anywhere

 

[Its Manbearpig]

Why isn't bombing i50 working?!

 

[bommer16]

Yeah you can trust Ess to play a team back into form.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

Give it a rest. The scoreboard is the only stat that matters when the game is done. When the flood of umpire ****ery started we were equally competitive.

No. We weren't.

At half time our efficiency with the ball was also terribly below Geelongs.

As usual Essendon cannot score off its momentum dominance. The same thing almost every single game.

 

[Goat Hird]

Laverde has to go

 

[srobbo]

Look the 3rd qtr robbed us of momentum, but it’s no excuse to roll over & be weak campaigners like we are now. Thks corresponding game broke our backs last year & it looks like it will again tonight. Like to be wrong, but we’re just not well drilled.

 

[TheGrizz]

We have dropped the bundle, the umpires put a gap in the game but we arent resilient enough to overcome it.

Ita unfortunate because if we could keep the margin to 4 goals or so the ammunition would have been there to launch at the umpiring standards deciding the game.
Alas they blow it out and it probably gets lost in our poor 4th quarter effort.

 

[rumply]

The longer we keep Laverde and Heppell on the list the longer it'll take us to get anywhere

yeah thats why they are winning by 40

 

[Beerfish]

Collingwood are going to torch us!

 

[bommer16]

Stengle won't come near us. Sad.

He’s likely to stay at cats.

 

[Knighta21]

All of geelong do. It’s a mental thing, their players know they can dominate and intimate us.

Even at Sydney I’m talking about as well.

 

[Call Me Cake]

The only thing I'd like is to at least cut the margin by any part

 

[srobbo]

Laverde has to go

No arguments from me. He’s an above average footballer at best & only gets a gig because we lack depth in his position.

 

[quotemokc]

Forwardline is a joke.

Its too tall with no pace

 

[rumply]

Collingwood are going to torch us!

Thing is we will probably turn up & win, go figure.

 

[naraku]

Collingwood are going to torch us!

And Melbourne will too the following week

 

[srobbo]

Let me say this…..Coll & Melb we will go 0-2. Pointless even considering otherwise….just ****ing pathetic this club. ****kg pathetic.

 

[Learntopray]

Were up against it at selection.
Thanks for your service Heppell, but ive seen enough panicked handballs and shanked kicks for my life.
Game has gone past him and any game of intensity he is a liability.
