Our last game for the year and we are are not on TV. Why am I not surprised?
Kicking skill ordinary.
4 pts down at qtr time. We have kicked 6 behinds.
Essendon look to have more space than us.
Great goal by Wright , then misses a sitter? Hard to coach that mentality
Dont feckin tell me we are gonna lose to these kents!
Its the StK game all over again, second to the ball, chasing but.
Bombers are working harder atm
Buckley playing with good pressure
Thank god for Rowe on goal line....
Very lacklustre event, our key forwards & Kruze only a few touches between them
We go fwd, nobody there and can't win contest on the rebound. Bugger.
Need to lift work rate quickly or it'll be v Lions all over ???
39 v 18....
Talking of forwards , read a stat yesterday that hit home for me Mason Cox has played 11 games this year , and kicked 17 goals, has only played AFL for a few years , how does that stand up against our " forwards"?
We are NOT in this game. 45 v 19.
Bring it now or never
This is really stuffing up their first round draft pick!!!
Work rate very poor , timid display, lack of energy
Unfortunately this is v Lions reincarnated 51 v 19, are you kidding?
Do we get higher pick if we lose?
WTF is this crape.
They've got 15 drugged up #$$@#$ out and this is the best we can do ????
Disgraceful and makes a mockery of what gains we have made this year.
Wright lines up - goal
The strategic loss is on, looking forward to a present from Freo.....

What would that be?
Fabulous tackle Jack - on Daniher.
That's better intensiy
Jacks pressure ends in MK mark and nice goal
This is really stuffing up their first round draft pick!!!
Might be the only joy today us "taking" the no 1 pick from the scum today
Where we get smashed and Freo get the spoon and first pick....
Grahams kicking is terrible.
Excellent pressure Kerridge - lines up - goal. Good reward for increased effort.
Now - 14
And we re-signed Casboult?
Good leading Sumner
51 v 37
Cmon Blues, keep up the pressure
Jones & Casboult just before 1/2 time have 3 hb's between them? That is just sad
- 19 at half time.
Really need more from more 2nd half.
Leaders need to drive up the pressure and bring the others along.
Hate to say it but bombers are looking quite clean, committed, and don't look like giving up the battle. Sadly we handed them a sniff on a silver spoon and they're taking advantage.
Go Blues
Hard to fine winners for us, usual crew getting the touches , Cripps, Simmo, Gibbs, 2E , rest some flashes of spark, Buckley looking lively , but like a lot of our mids & defenders , if they break, no forward structure to play to , so makes them all look bad.
It would help if we stopped kicking directly to Essendon defenders when we go inside 50 ::)
Gee, We're a bloody Jekyll and Hyde side >:(
Some of the blokes are obviously more concerned about what they're going to wear on Monday. :(

The field kicking has been awful. I am finding it hard to watch
As much as I like Daisy & wished he had been more successful, he has been cruelled by injury, his term here is over , any one else hoping to hear the retirement leak after the game?
Reality check...
What percentage of this team cannot beat their opponent?
We are not playing a team about to play finals - we are playing a team that should be winning a wooden spoon.
Telling stat for Thomas. Zero tackles. If you can't do anything else, you can tackle.
Yep, youve got to 200 Daisy, now do the right thing and pull the pin.
Can't wait for this game to be over, unbelieveable in this over procession game we have these days, our 2 key forward have not 1 kick between them?
Underlines how awful they are when an 18 year old kid and a Crows discard lead our "forward" line.

Unless he's looking better live... I'm with you unfortunately
Half a game to go get ready to wave good bye to about 10 players
Started with bit more intensity - Gibbs point
Half a game to go get ready to wave good bye to about 10 players
Yes, please thank them and wish them well for us
Lucky mark Graham - poster....
-17 make that 23, danihers gets 4th
Oh my, we're in trouble
Ffs, we've disappeared...
They line up for another from easy inside 50...
Tippy crumb goal - that's how you play footy Blues
Laverde knocking up getting the footy while Boekhorst languishes in the twos. FML
Tippy lines up again, nobody on him.
Another goal, we're getting slaughtered
Cmon Blues
We don't appear interested at all. Bombers are finding marking players in the forward 50 , cutting us up. Lack of intensity & real lack of direction & leadership in our club at the moment
Our Coach is getting schooled big time. Not impressed at all by this. If he can't fire them up, nor change things up, a fair bit of blame lands on him and his picked assistant coaches.
Pathetic lack of self pride by most players here.
6 goals down, about to be 7.
Very poor everywhere
Out of defence too easily, good smother Sumner
Intercept marks 12 v 5. Says it all
Just angry now. >:(
We're better than this ...we've shown it.
But we haven't come to play to-day.
83 v 40.
Can't believe it
Coach killer game? ???
Daniher has 5 , um what's it like to have a key forward that can do that ?
Daniher can't kick em from anywhere all year, now he's jagging them from everywhere today, what a disgrace the Blues are today, Rowe = Titanic
Man even docherty getting hemmed in
Embarrassing and pathetic,
I WANT TO KNOW HOW IT IS POSSIBLE NOT TO GET UP FOR AN ESSENDON GAME????
Players today.......... you $hite me to tears.
Tippy from 10 out....now has 3
Always supported Rowe but real signs of a player that is been over whelmed this and is waiting for the end of the season
Our chance to goal - Levi - point
Nice mark on goal line Levi - goal
Breaks a 6 goal run
As I said big blue.... It's a fit up, don't be discouraged.

only against us!!
Kruzer has been our best big man today by far , Jones even though was showing energy, , no it's over, if we are serious has to go. Since Everitt can't even get a game, what's his future
And they reply.... Sad bad mad
Now we get to spend all summer being ribbed by forking Bummer fans and then they'll come back with all their "stars" next year and smash us again.
I've had a bad feeling about this game all week. I'm sick of having bad feelings about games. I just want to be confident. Can't see that ever happening.

Hope your right , hate to think is this us really trying
95 v 48 against the fixed up mis-fits - if you can believed that...BTW, we're 48
Time to clean out the coaches bench, had enough of this tripe.
Thomas has been paid $53.5K per game.
Free kicks 18-7 against us, would this have any bearing on the score?

Not just yet Meddy.
Take 3 deep Breaths and recall its yr1 rebuild.
Our off season will hopefully bring some highlights - today is lowlights, no doubt
Thomas has been paid $53.5K per game.
How do you get a job like that with KPI's he has?
They haven't kicked 100 points all year and they will do it easily against our rabble today.
A few guys have stamped their papers today for mine. Thomas should do the honourable thing and hang them up after the worst 200th game in memory.
AFL Ladder predictor: Ess win by 60pts & Lions lose by 30pts and Brisbane get the wooden spoon and pick number one.
If GC win, maybe we get higher pick ??

Mick Martyn? Or was that his 300th? ::)
Has Daisy got another year?
Looks like Brisbane will get the spoon. That might cause O'Meara to re-think his options.
Half of our blokes haven't managed 10 disposals in three quarters of footy. :o
Wright goal - 3 now, leading blues goalkicking
Has Daisy got another year?
Naah, Mick signed him on for life! ;)
Cripps, Gibbs and Docherty down a bit and Carlton is finished, along with Simpson they've been carrying us all season.
A few papers being stamped this afternoon I reckon.
Wright to MK - point
Bolton presser today
'I want our supporters to know we are united'
'We don't worry about wins and loses'
Had enough of same lines he rolls out every interview.
Really thought these pathetic embarrassing loses were a thing of he past. >:(

How long have we been saying this though?

Yep, Daisy, please announce immediate retirement in the rooms after the game please. Liam jones...you too. Thanks
I feel for Daisy, that can't be a satisfying job
Wright playing really well, his mate Kerridge goals - reviwed point
Well we're actually having a crack this quarter....about time. >:(
Writers beats 2 with one arm - he's a superstar. Bit of brightness blue baggers.
Not just yet Meddy.

I know what you're saying. It's just hard to cop this particular loss. They're supporters are worse than Collingwoods.
The amount of effort we expend per goal is amazing highlights we have to manufacturer each goal rather than the easy goals other clubs tend to create
Weiters and Cunningham showing us the future.
Give-it-to-dennis goal
This is going to turn into another honorable loss
9.17 at least we are peppering the goals like buckshot ::)
9.18!
Our kicking into the F50 is deplorable.
Worst in the comp by some.
Graham's disposal is just not good enough for this level.
Some of Rowe's efforts have been embarrassing.
Lamb is in the play for a couple of minutes and then disappears like magic!
Jack another great tackle son of a gun
Neat goal son of a gun Buckley
Jones and Daisy..... Malthouse you were the worst thing to happen to this club since the war.
In the last month Buckley might have saved his position on our list , has been positive
So glad this playing year is over
Feckin disgrace. If we had 1/5th of a functioning forward set-up we'd be dangerous.
Can't believe we lost to the cheating arses with half their team out.
15 more inside 50's and comprehensively smashed. We also had more scoring shots.
We played Wright as a Full Forward for most of the second half - surely we have to recruit someone who can give the midfielders some one to kick too.
A very hollow feeling at the end of that.
We just leave too much to too few most weeks.
Jones and Daisy..... Malthouse you were the worst thing to happen to this club since the war.
X 2. Left behind such a pervasive handicap for the club.
$hit season! Especially given what we promised between round 5-12.
What I am disgusted with is the attitude and on-field culture of this club. The last 15 years weh ave found it very easy to just simply give up. Take way the 6 wins from 7 games we had we have won only one of the other 15, which was last week. Disgusting! You can talk the talk about how hard we work, how the players are driven, but we don't walk the walk when it matters and give up way too easily. We can change as many players as we want but of that on-field culture is poor then you are going no-where.
There are no words to placate what we supporters feel after that effort against a sub standard competitor. Appalling. Too much, again, left to too few.
Another 10-12 will be gone.
The club are fully aware of all the problems, and are intent on fixing them.
Everything that all of you and I see, is seen by the club.
They will be very proactive in the draft and trade period.
