Round 19- Fremantle vs. Essendon- Official gameday thread

[red+black]

Bottom 4, 3 years in a row. Can someone tell me why finding a new coach is such a bad thing?

It's not, only idiots wanted a coach to stay for 50 years .

The only problem was the decision should have been made tomorrow, after the Crows, Hawks and Freo games. I would have thought the timing of the announcement was rather obvious. Chances were we would lose 2 or more of those games and find ourselves up shit creek without a prayer.

I'd like to have seen the saveessendon idiots spew their crap if the decision had been made following the loss to Freo.

 

[Mighty Reds]

This would have to go close to being McVeigh's worst game of the season, Peverill too.

You're kidding- the decision was years too late.

 

[Darealrath]

Lloyd played very well especially considering the lack of good delivery to him.

Gumby was impressive.

Awful 2nd half.

I've just about had it with McPhee. 2nd worst footy brain on our list.

Don't get me started on umpire #13.

To be fair, bottom 4 this year is quite deceptive. We've done a lot better than last year.

Other than that, we've still been pretty shocking.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Just need to work out exactly what Ricky is though....

A dud.

Like McCallister before him, Bullen, Haynes, Bolton.. the list is endless.

 

[PressureCooker]

This may be a little from left field but does anyone think Lovett is a tad jealous of all the Davey hype and rather than trying to better him he has gone the other way. I can't remember seeing one of his trademark run down from behinds this year He certainly hasn't looked overly interested lately.

 

[marcuz]

You couldn't pay me enough to play as a forward in that essendon side, the delivery is just utter garbage.

Gumby was impressive.

Reimers also had a dip.

Time to play more kids, bringing in heff,bolton,campo etc achieves nothing.

 

[jnash196]

Our worst performance since last week. Carlton will have to be tanking at their best to lose to us

Agree. He is becoming a very very frustrating player. I get very nervous when he has time and space. Usually makes the wrong decision.

Not sure what's going on?

Yeah I liked the look of Reimers. That effort to get the shot on goal was very nice. Good size too.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Reimers - Fantastic zip and recovery. Very good disposal. He looks like he can bounce off the ground and start running at full pace.

 

[Let's Fly Jetstar!]

Agree. He is becoming a very very frustrating player. I get very nervous when he has time and space. Usually makes the wrong decision.

Lost the plot he has
a shadow of 2004

The only outstanding ball I can remember going in there was off the foot of a first gamer, the better part of the rest was disgusting...

And McPhee? What (if anything) goes through his mind? All I know is that it's so painful to watch.

 

[red+black]

You're kidding- the decision was years too late.

I agree with you there.

Lloyd dropped some he should have taken.. Also needs to keep his feet..

 

[Bomber57]

Went to the game today, we were shit, we are shit at the best, what was it 25 scoring shot to 5 in the second half, we really are crap, and anyone how says we are not, get your F**KING blinkers off.

This team and club is in turmoil yep turmoil the sacking of Sheedy when they did was wrong, yeah we all know what the official line is from the club, but no one can deny what has happened since then, the players are playing like they have nothing to play for, no direction and that is the boards fault.

This was a very sad day for this once great club and I think we have many sad days ahead of us before it gets any better.

Deny this and we will end up like Collingwood, I for one cannot wait 50 years for another flag.

Fremantle vs. Essendon- All post game analysis, opinions

Absolutely terrible. At least we were put out our misery in terms of finals. There's really no realistic chance now. Lets move on. Discuss the game

 

[VanDerHaar]

At last - some honesty on this board...!!

 

[Bomber57]

At last - some honesty on this board...!!

And it really hurts me to say it.

 

[masai]

He was very slow getting back on his feet for second efforts.

Lloyd is a darn good player but I reckon he could be so much better if ............ (yes you know the answer ).

 

[The Dustbin]

He was very slow getting back on his feet for second efforts.

Thought his 2nd and 3rd efforts were fantastic today, some resulting in goals.

 

[BomberDog]

Lloyd extracted EVERYTHING he possibly could from the opportunities that came his way today...
