Game Day Round 19 - Essendon v Foot-a-Scray, Marvel Stadium, Friday July 21st 2023, 7.50pm AEST

So now there's no Weid, surely the pressure is now on Jake and his utter non-competitiveness for the last two months.

Yes please. It's a joke.

 

[Dudoro]

We are sucking but it's a different game if we hadn't had to chase it. We should have kicked two goals from front on contact and then another probably 15 frees could have been given.

Why is this always so bad when we play the dogs.

Correct same issue as 2021 EF. Down 4 goals at 3qtr time in a low scoring game in the wet. Game was over

 

[Its Manbearpig]

Really thought Scott would've had us fired up, unfortunately I'm disappointed

 

[jmoo wan]

How many marks have we dropped up forward?

7

 

[fishardansin]

Now Ridley. * footy.

 

[Dudoro]

If the recruiting team don’t do something in changing this midfield I don’t know what the point is. Flogged in contested footy again

 

[MiguelM]

Again, should have been further in front after the first then let the Dogs get easy goals in the second that killed momentum.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Jesus christ the umpiring isnt why our players cant win ground balls or stand shoulder to shoulder with their opponents.

 

[The Airing of Grievances]

Yes we just look like honest battlers rather than a September team
We just lack the real class leader or two who steps up in the crucial moments to show rhe way. The umpiring has exaggerated the difference between us and them, but it's there. We need a Bont-real bad.

 

[TheGrizz]

Sting has gone completely out of this game now.

Our players have thrown in the towel

 

[fishardansin]

I'm out

 

[silk]

I feel partly responsible for this loss. I said after the first 5 minutes, that if Stringer plays the whole game like he did the first 5 minutes we'd win. Since that comment he has done nothing at all.

 

[jmoo wan]

Another non free this is cheating. Why watch

another low value comment. Why post

 

[Its Manbearpig]

Just piss poor efforts by so many players

 

[ghostdog]

Brutal reality. I've had my umpiring melt. All good now. This is the middling team we are with a long way to go.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

I'd trade merrett, parish, anyone with value. This teams not winning a flag for years, we can all see it

And draft what? There are * all hard contested ball winners this year.

 

[Donakebab]

Trading Merrett is the dumbest post on a board chock full of dumb posts.

Wow. On ya bike troll.

 

[BomberManU]

Have dead set stopped. A lot of headless chooks out there. Anyone that thinks we'll get many more wins this season is dreaming. MAYBE against WCE, but that's it.

 

[Nifft]

Flip will be on the list if he wants to go again

Probably, and he’s been very good this year, but I’d be surprised if he wasn‘t mainly backup next year rather than in the firsts.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

I'd trade merrett, parish, anyone with value. This teams not winning a flag for years, we can all see it

Then let the same bloke who built the list build it again. Brilliant idea.

 

[Saddlemanbags]

Trading Merrett is the dumbest post on a board chock full of dumb posts.

Lol he's 27, peak value, and he's not winning a flag at essendon.

 

[Dudoro]

I agree trading everyone with value except Merrett. Trade the captain and our best player you end up nowhere. But yes no one should really be off limits bar 3 or 4 players

 

[mxett]

I'd trade merrett, parish, anyone with value. This teams not winning a flag for years, we can all see it

we need to snag a genuine CHF and a good tall key forward through free agency

 

[HirdsTheWord]

Jesus this has been a rough 2 weeks fellas.

i doubt we go in against swans favourites and based on what we dished up last fortnight i daresay west coast and nth could beat us also.

just such a let down/
