Game Day Round One: Essendon v Adelaide, Etihad Stadium, Friday 23rd March, 7.50pm

[Eleven 38]

Can't get repeat inside 50s like the crows up forward. 3 talls can work if you mark and goal. But we are either dropping the marks or missing the goals.

 

[JT_the_Man]

And Hurley... Worst on ground so far. Please turn it around.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

That quarter was absolute rubbish.

Same. Old. Mother*******. Essendon.

Been mediocre for too long will never change

 

[Old Stuckup]

Everyone talking about how rubbish we’ve been. Watch us go bang, bang, bang to start the quarter. #optimism

 

[fishardansin]

You'd like to think that we could break the open and come home again if we clean up some terrible decisions and disposal. However, they are getting the plus one to every contest around the middle now. It is very hard to stop that with one less in the rotations. I think we need to even the numbers up.

 

[JT_the_Man]

We need Merrett

We need both

 

[eDPS]

And Hurley... Worst on ground so far. Please turn it around.

Tippa and Green have been far worse imo

 

[Seagrave_Holmes]

Do we still not have a goal kicking coach?

 

[JayJ20]

Our backline is made up of Dea, Brown and Hartley, plus Hurley playing his worst game ever. What hope do we have against a half decent side?

Our backline is not necessarily the biggest problem. Our kicking for goal has been shocking today

 

[MiguelM]

Just didn't nail the game in the second. Adelaide make you pay for mistakes.

Green looks slow

 

[Runk]

Best thing about tonight: Kiss Cam.

Hurley has been bad for a while. Since he has been paid 1 million a season he has been bad.

 

[AcuteWhistle]

I have a recurring dream where I spend a decade on an AFL list and nobody realises that I have no idea what I'm doing. My dream is Green's reality.

Ta, needed a laugh

 

[pepsi]

Missed merrett that's for sure. Haven't been too bad tonight, just haven't taken the chances we've had. Still a small chance.

 

[boncer34]

We need both

Sad but true.

 

[bennyg12]

That useless c**t in jumper 15 plays again im done

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Would like to see one of our players take out theirs even up for Merret

 

[jmoo wan]

fumbles, shitty kicking for goals and turning on our own!

yeah baby - the footy’s back!!

 

[CBombers17]

I actually think we're gonna win this now

I have the same feeling. Need to release the half backs and take some risks

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Hurley has been bad for a while. Since he has been paid 1 million a season he has been bad.

All Australian last year ya galah!!!

 

[sameolds33]

Was limping in front of me before. For my sanity and the safety of those around me I've moved to standing. Our fans are a disgrace.

what are the fans doing?

 

[Stopher]

Just didn't nail the game in the second. Adelaide make you pay for mistakes.

Green looks slow

Yep.

Still a quarter to go people, let's see what happens!!

 

[Its Manbearpig]

Come on quick run of goals to build us momentum

 

[bombreys]

Stringer forward.

Do something new, try anything different. That quarter was rubbish.

 

[scatman john]

We're probably one of the only two or three teams that can get enough momentum and rolling to win this. Adelaide very professional outfit though so will likely choke the game
