Game Day Round 18: Essendon v Brisbane, Etihad Stadium, 24/7/16, 1.10PM AEST

[DHepp21]

Does anyone else miss being underdogs?

 

[MiguelM]

Dea's worst game by a long way

 

[Thebisc]

Here's an idea. Just go man on man in the middle.

 

[Andronicus]

Dempsey contract extension.

You write that straight after he ignores the obvious game plan and accidentally kicks a goal?

 

[Doss]

The whole team's performance has been so woeful that you can't pin the reason on a handful of players. don't know that we can take naything from this game except that there's one less to go

Sure we can. Joe's been good, Zerrett's been Zerrett's, and Parish, Francis, Langford and Laverde have all been very solid.

 

[SherbertLemon]

Daniher and Brown are responsible for our goal kicking yips. Simpy inexcusable.

 

[Cristiano Ronaldo]

One of the most frustraring games I've ever sat through

 

[biglaycock]

We should try putting no one in the centre square, it may make it harder for their mids to clear it. ******* disgrace

 

[Lore]

Was that the Dempsey redemption shot? Spent about ten minutes on the bench before after his opposite-of-purple patch.

Daniher wearing braces according to ABC radio... Had his front teeth all but knocked out at the start of Q1? Perhaps he kicks better when distracted by pain...

Francis classy. Zerrett doing well. Like the look of Langford. Can't pick the defence but it's ****ed. Feels like we're playing short but yeah. Need to watch the replay. Like Laverde but he's not at his best. Zaka. Well.. Zaka. Apparently playing forward to escape the tag but still. Ick.

Radio reckons it's the Leuenberger Cup... More like the Parish-Mathieson cup?

Ergh.

 

[DERO]

Pick one bitches.

 

[Andronicus]

Daniher and Brown are responsible for our goal kicking yips. Simpy inexcusable.

Is this the week to make a comment like that?

 

[Doss]

Daniher and Brown are responsible for our goal kicking yips. Simpy inexcusable.

Daniher's got 4.1 today. How is he responsible for others' inaccuracy?

 

[MiguelM]

If I was woosha I would order the whole team back for goalkicking practice post game. Unacceptable

 

[SherbertLemon]

That was hilarious. Or forwards don't know how to lead into space.

 

[mxett]

Gleeson.....lol

 

[DHepp21]

Who was in Walker? And what the f*** Gleeson.

 

[eDPS]

Use your brain Glesson

 

[sameolds33]

Sure we can. Joe's been good, Zerrett's been Zerrett's, and Parish, Francis, Langford and Laverde have all been very solid.

Agree that certain players have played well (and that's why I'm still watching this car crash of a game) but, in terms of delisting etc, you can't say it's X, Y or Dempsey's fault we've played so badly. Most players are confidence players and when there is a stupid mistake after a poor judgment call which leads to such a poor performance, it's a team failing, not attributable to the individuals who played badly.

 

[Tassieboy]

Jesus, what the hell were we expecting. We're missing half of our god damn team.

About 8 players will be back next year. Brisbane have about that many out with injury and they're the worst team in the comp aside from us and we've been belted by 10 goals.

 

[Shane Hird]

Time to switch over to the Hawks v tiger game and watch one team at least play good football ..

 

[DHepp21]

Daniher vs Walker. Let's win that at least.

 

[scanlon]

would have prefered Bird over Cooney this week

 

[SherbertLemon]

Daniher's got 4.1 today. How is he responsible for others' inaccuracy?

Maybe missing one right in front? How many of them have been set shots dossy.

Keep defending the players. This is one of the most disgraceful days in our history yet you go on and on with your forthright rubbish.

 

[Barry Roundhouse]

The only positive is that all our good players today are under 22 apart from goddard who has been goddard.

You've got to be ******* kidding..
