Game Day Round 17 vs. Essendon, MCG, 7:40pm Friday 05/07

[Cousin of Daicos]

lol people thinking a comeback was on the cards

We used up the last of our comeback tickets for 2024 last week

 

[Soaring Magpie]

Once again this year, shown up to be not up to it. The side is resting on its results last year.
Really disappointing to see.
All talk this year, no action

 

[DasItMayne]

Acting like they won the flag

 

[Rooosterboy]

Bombers not winning by 10+ goals says more about them than us, its a full strength, uninterrupted by injuries all year AFL team vs a VFL team.

Nice try, but yeah nah, we were crap

 

[NMBB]

Yup. If Pies are out, rooting for Swans.

Looks like we're rooted

 

[MagpieJoel]

1991 on repeat.

 

[CPH12]

Felt all year the bombers are a little better than people think. We still have some issues though. I think long has shown a bit. Keep him in, and need to give mcinnes a go

 

[Nuffsaid]

What a disastrous effort! So many bad decisions and skills. I hate essendon!

 

[anshell]

I think the fact that some of the players were at wet and wild as recently as Monday shows you how seriously the players took this game.

 

[DWil6]

Who do we beat for the rest of the year? Tigers? Cats? Swans, Blues and Hawks are all too strong.

 

[Dinsdale]

1991 on repeat.

91 was a great year

 

[Deathray]

Cox


Hate him or love him. A 6'11 guy draws defenders to him and panic when he's next to them.

I’m with you don’t worry. Just a contest or out of bounds is actually a good result on the wing.

 

[Piewithsauce13]

Acting like they won the flag

As close as they will get …90k at the MCG let them enjoy their 5th July Friday night win

 

[Magnanimous]

Such arrogance that we don't put anyone on Merrett. Whilst our game is completely shut down if Naicos is tagged effectively

Every frigging game he owns us.

Meh go on a little winning streak and top 4 gettable.

We have a couple of VFL level players. But the vast majority of that team was our best team. Hate to break it to you.

 

[Go Woods]

Let's get games into Reef, Macrae and Allan, see who's worth keeping beyond this season.

 

[gouki88]

Meh go on a little winning streak and top 4 gettable.

What would indicate that a winning streak is at all likely?

 

[Magnanimous]

Looking forward to Fly's cliches in the presser.

We were just a bit off here and there.
It's a game of inches and tonight we just didn't bring the same intensity across the game...

Now we have to listen to the smug Jordan farking Lewis. Doing his worst to hide his delight.

[Jafo]

Dons beating us now is not like if they beat us last two years. We’re just not the same team right now.

 

[Fat Jesus]

What would indicate that a winning streak is at all likely?

It wouldn't surprise me is all.

 

[sloth6]

SOFT.

Tackling - non existent.

Spoiling - pathetic. Particularly from our talls.

Can’t rely on Nick to carry us each and every week. Not fair on him.

 

[Go Woods]

Who do we beat for the rest of the year? Tigers? Cats? Swans, Blues and Hawks are all too strong.

Probably Tiggers, Cats and Hawks only and with the real possibility that we'll miss the 8.
Just not up to to it this year, need to regenerate the list quickly if we want to challenge again next year.

 

[manicpie]

What would indicate that a winning streak is at all likely?

I think top 4 is gone. We could possibly make finals but who knows

 

[DWil6]

Mihocek will likely get a spell with that pectoral injury.
