All ready for tomorrow night. I'll be at the game, but, with Pitto not coming up, I'm not confident at all.
Young TO to Stringer i50
Cincotta with our first 👏🏼👏🏼
Essendon pressure is nuts
We need to match this
That's bullcrap he played on
If he kicked the goal he would not have brought that back
Does anyone feel like we are getting shafted by the ups?
Does anyone feel like we are getting shafted by the ups?
Yep
We're playing the cheats...expect to be shafted and accept it. It hurts less.
I was there the day in the members when people waved 20 buck notes at the umpire. "Can we get what Hirdy's getting too ?". He did contribute 20 grand for the privilege though.
And the feckun Fox commentators with Jobe in the box won't say a word
I’m a big De Koning fan, but gee any chance he can stick a mark ?

Ironically he is winning the ruck contests which we expected to lose

Footy shows have become unwatchable

Not so far 😉
Get a man on Nick Martin and we might win...

Exactly. Otherwise he's doing ok.

Its a Ch7 game, Fox takes their feed, they dont commentate.
Need to find a way to avoid TDK and Harry going up against each other in marking contests.
Once we settled, you can see they're rolling the dice more. Unlucky with the shots outside 50. Can't fault the effort.
Umpiring seems bomber-centric so far
This looks like being a "last man standing" type of game. Hopefully we can just outlast them.

Commentary saying TDK getting in Harry's way a bit too often.

It was one time and Jobe mentioned it 3 times. Fake news
On the odd occasion we do break through the centre, any danger our fwds could lead towards the bloke with the ball.
Jeesus
Those bloody set shots at goal?
Enough points already
We would have to be the worst kickers in the AFL
Good fwd pressure Mots
Shame nobody can convert 9pts ffs
2 fcuking 9!
Confidence is returning
at least theis week we have someone else to kick the footy to ( Martin)
Frontal contact on Martin again not paid
how Biased is the commentating, and if Cripps isnt injured then he needs to be dropped he has been terrible so far!
2 fcuking 9!
we just make it so hard for ourselves
Yep, Cripps not right at all. Moving like a busted crab
I'm only following tonight, have the cricket on.
That part is looking good now.
Wow front of goal. Gets it
how Biased is the commentating, and if Cripps isnt injured then he needs to be dropped he has been terrible so far!
Cripps is only terrible when he is injured. 3 years of the last 4. The other year he won the Brownlow.
Did I just miss something? A goal from a set shot?
H 👏🏼👏🏼
Did I just miss something? A goal from a set shot?
and from Harry as well
any chance we could kick it the advantage of our fwds?????
Wright. Rusty. Nope
any chance we could kick it the advantage of our fwds?????
Patience my friend. They are learning. It’s only been what 8 years!
3 10 jesus
3.10
Not a hope in hell that wins games
Shocking game
Umpires are horrible, set the tone early to call everything and kill any momentum and kill any spectacle.
We are not great but neither are Essendon.
Not sure what the game plan is except kick. Stop,
Turn around, kick sideways then stop. Waste time. Again.
3.10
Not a hope in hell that wins games
Yeah Vs 4-6
Ain’t much of a better story
Essendon are crap, we should win this if we can get Cripps, Walsh and a few others into the game more.
Charlie and Harry should be able to take over and kick a score against the bombers rubbish defenders...
we have 4 tackles inside 50
Can't believe the crowd 83,000+. I had tickets but just couldn't bring myself to go.
5 v 13 tackles i50
Not good enough (21 v 36)
Pressure is there but we can't:
- mark i50
- keep it i50
- stick tackles
Essendon are crap, we should win this if we can get Cripps, Walsh and a few others into the game more.
Charlie and Harry should be able to take over and kick a score against the bombers rubbish defenders...
Yet they've had the marks i50 due mostly to poor delivery. And so the story goes on...
P Cripps 8 disposals 0 clearances, seems barely interested.
how Biased is the commentating, and if Cripps isnt injured then he needs to be dropped he has been terrible so far!
His form is definitely down and so is that of Walsh. Nowhere near his best.
Wish someone would tell Blacres to kick the ball lower.
Always skys it.
P Cripps 8 disposals 0 clearances, seems barely interested.
he has to be injured seems barely able to get to a contest
They are too fast for us, they look dangerous nearly every time the go I50. If the game is close, they will win it.
As stated, everything is hard work snd the umps are having way too much influence on the game with no feel for it, whistle happy.
We should win this but who knows with our recent form...
Can we not question Cripps’ professionalism. To say he looks barely interested is calling his integrity into question and he has never done anything in the past to have those comments made against him.
Clearly injured.

So why play and flog him, unfair if he is.

Everyone can be questioned when youre losing, even the Captain. I wouldn't say clearly injured, if he was he wouldn't be playing. The minute he plays poorly the injury card gets brought out, I'm not buying that.
we definetly need more speed in the team has to be a priority in the offseason someone with outside spead and please please please let them be a good kick
Poor kicking for goal will no doubt be a major factor unless we can turn it around in the 2H.

Dare I jinx it but the bloke we need played in the twos today, quite well too.
Go Blues

EB we are rubbish mate. Skills and decision making are deplorable. And finally when we get a set shot at goal we are laughable.
Have no confidence at all anymore.
Are we Talking about Cunningham???
who thinks we will kick more then 6 goals for the game???

Been poor skills from both teams Shawny, I still think Charlie and Harry are better than their defenders and with more involvement from our mids we can win.
Neither team would beat anyone decent on tonight's form but at least we are competitive and are having a go..
Shocking free
thats 2 goals from holding free kicks
Premiership qtr, heads drop, all over.
who thinks we will kick more then 6 goals for the game???
Nope
Omg that was a joke
we are a joke
How has one of the best contested midfield groups in the company year turned into this rabble?
We're not playing the bombers.
Laughing stock
P!$$weak
22-13 frees
We're screwed
Bundle dropped.
IS THERE ANY FARKEN DANGER THE DUMB ASSSES THAT WEAR OUR JUMP CAN KICK A FOOTY IN FRONT OF THE BLOKE INSTEAD OF OVER HIS HEAD. ITS EMBARRASSING.
DID I JUST SEE THAT?
the worst thing about this is Voss will sugar coat it instead of saying this is pisswek we have let the fans down
This is the nightmare I was expecting to witness.
Voss is finished
Condolences to those at the game
Absolutely humiliating
Carlton Coach Killers
Look at how they use the ball
Into their fifty compared to us with 2 Coleman medalists. We bag Merrett on here yet his skills are spot on. We have a midfield filled with slow hacks.
Oh well, its what I was expecting. Said it would get ugly and it is.
Serious questions need to be asked of both the group and the coach.
Been 8 weeks of this crap now...do something different or is Voss too stubborn? Don't just sit there DO SOMETHING
Voss is finished
hate to say it but yes has to go
We are shot to pieces. Call the year off.
Young got bloked by a midget lol
Are we Tanking again?
If the same players won't listen or attempt to follow instructions DROP THEM. I don't care who they are. This goes for dumb siht midfielders who simply cannot deliver into F50. Enough's enough.
Their pace is just way too much for us. We tried to contain them but they run in waves and we just can’t go with them.
Too many slow midfielders in one team
So why do the MC keep picking them? The collective footy IQ of pond water.
Too slow just like 93
This ability to run an carry while hitting ip targets is what I thought would kill us. I was guessing 3 goals. Should have said 10 goals plus. Voss, say good bye to the club.
What could we get For Kennedy? 3rd rounder??
‘We’re the team that never lets you down’🤨
At least we had Fev to watch under Pagan. This is worse, I can believe I'm saying that but it's true
I know much of the issues are player attitude, killing every coach, but i'm thinking Voss has completely lost the players.
With our side, if we play decently, this should be a comfortable win. Yet here we are 40 points behind, and given up again. We work alot harder under Teague, and even then our attitude wasn't great.
Draper just ran away from cripps
If he's not injured drag him. That crap doesn't wash.
We could have had Brad Scott, we could have had Ross Lyon but we have this...
4 tackles for the quarter lol
Boooo, Booooo
Hopefully the crowd is doing this.
4 tackles for the quarter lol
Not good enough by any measure
Throw the magnets up and see where they land, Cripps to FF, Charlie on the ball.
4 tackles for the quarter lol
i think 4 was being generous as well
I'm grateful that I have a remote control to measure my exposure to this sh^%
heres a challenge find a player who has won his position on the ground....
This list needs a shake up. Some serious trade thinking. When you lack speed and desperation you are relying on hit targets with accuracy. We have none of the above. The club will without a doubt talk to Voss behind closed doors and it spells doom. We are bottom 4 or bottom 3 in the next 2 games. That is a season complete failure.
Cripps limping why is he playing?

we have nothing to trade and no draft picks were screwed
India 8/220.
Much better following committed, winning teams.

What we need to do is weed out the bad attitude. Start with the players who simply don't care enough.

If he plays on Sunday, Ill predict 8 disposals, 5 marks 1 tackle and 1 junk time goal.
Goal wasn't junk time but I was pretty darn close.
Young delist
Bring back plow. At least he plays with passion
Dow showing more in 2 min than Cripps the whole game
Attacks the ball properly. Young's confidence is shot and he's playing soft.
Boyd, McGovern, Owies, Cotrell, Ed Curnow would any of these get a game for any other team ???

Without a second thought.

Both games might finish at the same time.
Currently 18 scoring shots to 19. We’ve definitely been outplayed , but one of those nights where all the 50/50s, bounce of the ball etc has just gone wrong.

Only the cricket and Jokovic in the finals at the French Open to look forward to.

I would not agree. The ball has bounced in our favour many times. We just find a way to turn a golden opportunity into a shiny stinking turd.

Nope

no hes got no confidence cant say i blame him for a lack of it were getting hammered in defense
Drugcheats are staging. Umps are falling for it
Kemp has some pinpoint kicks

Agree 100% Don't blame the bounce of the ball you're joking. We are slow, unskilled, poor decision makers etc etc
Drugcheats are staging. Umps are falling for it
umpires are crap but we are allowing them to be crape
The gloom never ends.
WE WIN!!!!!!!!
The cricket!
Boyd is an absolute spud
WE WIN!!!!!!!!
The cricket!
hahaha something we may not hear again this year for the blues
We delisted Stocker and brought Boyd in.

Stocker had heart Boyd is as soft as dump his ass
Yep. Boyd is so much better than Stocker. Not.
Another Austin F up.
We delisted Stocker and brought Boyd in.
Think the list management needs more attention than the coaching...
Are the factions in the club Austins' boys v SOS'?
6 16 ffs
Bombers have double our free kicks

That could be it, never thought of it like that.
Regardless, we are an embarrassment of the highest order.
One more scoring shot but lost by 34 points.
Go figure .........
Ash Hansen forward coach time to go
We have matched top clubs i50 over the past 2 months and have lost every game.
33.65 last 5 weeks
Let's keep picking slow midfielders that can't kick. Seems to be working.

Forward coach is at the utter mercy of what happens up the ground.
Work rate and effort is there, except the tackles, which may be because our mids can't actually catch anything on 2 legs. Essendon were the better team, but some scoreboard pressure would've made things interesting. No reward for effort is slowly killing this team.

i was just looking at that woeful but we never drop anyone weak as piss team and coaching

No 23 was like a vulture waiting to give drugcheats a free
Mind you, few of our tackles were paid

Effort??? we had 33 tackles for the game essendon had 64 !!

I addressed that in my post.
33.65 in 5 weeks.
Is that another undesirable record we hold?
It's unfathomable.
The inability to convert is certainly contributing to the attitude IMO.

Great question
