Game Day Round 22: Essendon v Port Adelaide, Sunday August 14, 4.40pm AEST - Marvel Stadium

[citizen-erased]

Caldwell doesn't mind the contact. do like.

 

[Mootsy]

Birdman giving us a birdbath

 

[Duckworth]

In that pass to Bergman, i counted 6 Port midfielders that had pushed up. No Essendon.

 

[eth-dog]

You are such an apologist it's unbelievable. Mate I get that it's easier to not face the music in times of hurt but wavers such as your take is exactly the reason we've been so nonchalant for 20 years.

Really?

Players not buying in defensively seems like a bigger reason

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Draper and Bryan getting dominated by two forwards playing as rucks.

Our best footy this season was with Phillips in the team which is worrying.

Better to find it out now rather than try it round 1 next year and get off another poor start.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

I swear to god I can hear full conversations the crowd are having on the surround sound

You can't buy what's not being sold.

Your take would make sense for leaks here and there, and a loss. But this training drill? This late in your coaching career? Pathetic.

Whole world of pressure needs to come down on Rutten and he needs to know next year he better not be pulling this crap.

I'm so glad the grey team aren't as coloured as the orange team.

We need to put in a fixture request and ask not to play against any colours next year

No coach asks for that set up.
I will say the message is not getting through and it is killing us to the point the coach is pretty much a dead duck but to say that is the game plan is just wrong.
Nothing to do with apologists at all.

 

[andleanback]

I’m just about done with parish

 

[Hamez]

What ever the crowd figure is they’d be a quarter left at the final siren

 

[Runk]

Can’t wait to turn up to work on Monday and feel all this all week

 

[Lore]

I swear to god I can hear full conversations the crowd are having on the surround sound

Is this what it’s like for minnow club supporters?

 

[Mootsy]

wait, so you're allowed to just push a player off the ball,
fair enough

Port is just as young, and have nothing to play for. And they're waltzing. Literally waltzing. This stuff will be unacceptable in 2023. No more "letting it slide". We don't have to win - but bloody hell, SHOW structure.

Hmm. Let's give this a think.

Players didn't buy in defensively for Worsfold, whose West Coast was one of the best teams defensively in the league.
Players didn't buy in defensively for Rutten, who was the engineer behind Richmond's defensive gameplan that took them to 3 flags.

But yeah, one supporter being an "apologist" is why we're s**t. Makes total sense

 

[essendon]

Players shouldn't get paid

 

[Lore]

Even the umpires can’t be bothered

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Seriously how can you watch this crap and think everything is hunky dory and it's just the players? Spare me the tripe.

 

[Call Me Cake]

Ladies and gentlemen, our structure.
