Game Day Round 5: Essendon v Fremantle, Sunday April 17, 4.40pm AEST - Marvel Stadium

[sacka]

While we continue to have the people we do behind the scenes, we will continue to have these performances on it.
After 20 years of mediocrity and all the bullshit that has come along with the club over the last 10 years I think I'm actually finished with the club for a while.
I'm going to stop watching our games cause this s**t isn't any good for your mental health.

 

[boncer34]

He’d probably destroy us from within

As opposed to whatever is happening now?

 

[cobra land]

Throw the bank at Clarkson.

Even Clarkson couldn't help this pathetic team full of soft as butter players. Some of the efforts to lay a tackle have been nothing short of embassessing.

 

[Pleasedonot]

An embarassment of an institution. Cryogenically freeze me until we ever start actually doing something

 

[horj89]

Tough to watch. Same mistakes being made over and over again. Defensively held up ok in the first half but completely lost the plot in the third quarter and the fourth is looking like a training drill. Absolutely no cutting edge going forward.

I normally like to remain pretty positive but this is a train wreck.

 

[bomberlegend2007]

Are you serious
you don’t mind losing but effort requires no talent pal
look at collingwoodadam effort against bribane compared to ours
they are rebuilding just like us
if you want to keep accepting mediocrity that is fine- I grew up in a time when the players gave a sh88 and Noel judkins brought in the right players
dodoro has had 15 years 15 years
may be you should allow people to be frustrated with what our club has become
in our 150th year anniversary

Then what should we do mate?

 

[Mikevk123]

why hasn’t Perkins been thrown in the middle?

 

[foj1]

We also flogged the Saints by 12 goals last year. We are just so ******* reactionary here. Things take time and being that we are a young side, it’s going to be inconsistent.

Right now we are having the year that we expected last year. s**t happens. Melbourne finished 17th a few years ago. s**t happens.

But because of this site, every time we have a young side build, we think that’s it’s 93 all over again.

You said every time we have a young side build
you are suppose to experience success after young side build
you are not optimistic but delusional

 

[DapperDon]

We don't have actual defenders. We have a backline tied together with duct tape. When will people realise this.

Sadly we don't have a choice until/if Reid gets healthy or we draft actual Key Defenders

Lots and lots and lots of holes in this list still to be filled

 

[biglaycock]

Haha, ok.

So honestly where did you think we would be?

I couldn’t care less about a loss but effort tells a thousand stories and we have a handful not even having a go

 

[Phone]

He’s somehow had 29 touches today

surprised it's not more. he's roughly been getting into good positions

 

[Nuts4Bolts]

Sadly, my first impressions of truck as a coach were ban

Rutten is more likely to give the players a wristy after the game than a spray. But to be fair, there isn't a coachable player on this list. Wrap it up and send the licence down to Tassie. Club is beyond fixing.

 

[Lore]

why hasn’t Perkins been thrown in the middle?

He’s probably sick

 

[foj1]

Ball down there a lot

Name these people apart from Dodo.

 

[The Devils Advocate]

I see how we got the nickname the "Same Olds" now.

 

[mxett]

Throw the bank at Clarkson.

youd need to. Imagine the plaster repair costs in the coaching box

Wonder why that is. I'll ask Adrian the expert list management expert.

 

[Squeaky]

No coach can coach hunger. Hasn't been any all year.

We played finals last year. I think the players have had their fill. I wish they would tell the membership department before the season starts...

 

[Lore]

Was our theme song pre-50s

 

[srobbo]

Never seen such an average player like Taberner have a bigger bunny than Essendon.

 

[The Devils Advocate]

We have a mason at the club thankfully.

 

[mike14]

Some serious questions need to be raised about our defensive plan and the efforts that support it

 

[The Devils Advocate]

Never seen such an average player like Taberner have a bigger bunny than Essendon.

Did you ever see Mark Bolton play Sydney?
Adam Goodes used to boo him!
