Game Day Round 9: Essendon v Brisbane, Friday 31/7/20, Metricon Stadium, 8.10pm AEST

[Schnitzengruben]

Has Townsend played a game this year where your thought he broke even. Maybe a 5/10. For me his best has been a 3 and he gets a game week in.

He basically won us RD1 off his own boot. Other than that, not really. But, he is what he is. I don't think we picked him up thinking he was Leigh Matthews.

Our crumbers really struggle to read where the ball will drop

Was just about to say this. Tippa is always too close to the pack and the ball drops behind him. Every time!

On the plus side TBells efforts tonight make me appreciate McKernans efforts for the last few weeks

 

[mxett]

Speechless.

Rabble of a club. Cant wait for the learnings we take from this one.

I'm done with this season. I'm sick of the false optimism they constantly give.

lower your expectations to bottom 6. Then you wont be so dissapointed

 

[windyhill]

Thank * for shorter quarters

 

[andleanback]

Gws will dine out on us next week. Lock jez Cameron in for 6.

 

[Falcon27]

That is just weak and pathetic by Francis

 

[JT_the_Man]

Play on lol wtf

 

[quotemokc]

We might as well go up the middle with every kick in

 

[essendon]

Our season is shot !!!!!

 

[TheGrizz]

We are lucky they have shortened the quarters.

A fair bit of short stepping happening the last 6-7 minutes, unfortunately.

 

[Lore]

It's like they built a brick wall on their D50. Or perhaps a trampoline.

 

[mike14]

yes, but why?

Good question. I'd be interested to know what we focus on at training. Overall we're a pretty young list, do we do skill development or is it mainly strategy?

 

[scythe]

Shiel barely 40 metres out with all the time in the world to have a shot, and his first instinct is to look sideways.

We've lost touch with the sport.

 

[ghostdog]

That’s 2 weeks TBell

My nom for POTY. Cheers!

Berry ducks a lot.

The new Selwood

 

[cobra land]

Nice to see uncle john on the boundary listening to a bit of Boz Scaggs....just chillin

 

[84859300]

in a 20+ time on quarter game - this is a 120 point loss

 

[Jobe Watson]

Taking the absolute piss at this point.

 

[Gabe251]

Knew this was coming. Didn't watch. We aren't going to win a final with this team.

 

[84859300]

g'night all - onto the single malts

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Bring back Matthew Knights.

 

[mxett]

cant even score 4 goals in dry conditions. Oh dear

 

[Beerfish]

Oh yes Bruce. Brisbane will win the premiership.

 

[monty1104]

Didn’t Martin Pike win 5 flags? Unlike Bruce to get something like that wrong.
