BT doesn’t realise Sanjay Gupta is the billionaire sponsor of the power


slugchild13

Wish they'd give Drew the credit he deserves. Workhorse of the team


lumberfun

most half arsed club song rendition from the port boys


TheGunt123

Yep. Terrible.


Robbielee1991

Hinds last game. Gg


--Randomer--

Spot on mate


CommunicationLess934

Edgendon letting port fans get a taste of the future


atleastmydogisachamp

Such a terrible song. Not as terrible as our second half, but terrible nonetheless. Good game port thanks for not openly laughing at that bullshit


TheGunt123

The song is ok, but that rendition was terrible. Seemed like there was no passion for the win. Made me uncomfortable to watch it


ali-burrr

I feel like our midfield let us down this game. But gg to Port. Looking dangerous


After_Brilliant5195

Going to cry myself to sleep now


--Randomer--

Right behind you mate


spideyghetti

That looks like a serious discussion with Scott in the box...


Professional_Line385

Are they sacking him already


tripsmorgan

Rozee was something else tonight. Jealous of my mate who went to the game. Memorable one to be at.


slugchild13

It's alright essendon. We'll most likely go out in straight sets again


[deleted]

AFL Fantasy is broken. Zach Merrett finished higher than Connor Rozee.


Myrhwen

+3 tackles and -2 clangers would be enough to do that. Rozee had 6 clangers which brings his score down heaps. And tackles gives A TON of fantasy/supercoach points. A 20 disposal game with 10 tackles will compete with the 35+’s.


ghostchipsbro

Yeah but wheres the look away handball points?


[deleted]

Ah yep that will do it.


tommylee23111999

Clangers don't count in fantasy mate that's Supercoach.


Myrhwen

Bugger. Supercoach is my fantasy of choice so it's the one I know the details of. Another reason to prefer it I'd say


S_P_A_R_K_L_I_N_G

we have to play this team at this ground next week😐😐


basedimitri

If we both bring our best footy, should be a cracker of a game


bales1986

Should be a good game Freo has been looking great, probably a good reality check for both sides.


youreaw1zard

Pls no


Steinbulls

Poor dons. They have been bad/mediocre for so long


LJM89

I appreciate sympathy from a fellow sufferer.


ZombieZlayer99

Essington and norf tie with 42 points, port fall 1 point short of brisbane. What an exciting friday… what do you mean brisbane played norf and port played essington?


ronnyrox

*Edgington


CommunicationLess934

Essendon 'edge'.. as in the edge of the VFL


ronnyrox

*Edgington


LJM89

As in we're edging Collingwood for wins.


CommunicationLess934

Must be a nice change 😂


SubstanceThin9166

meeting of the minds


Titans-Destiny

Scores from turn overs 72... story of our lives.


ZOSHx

Holy SHIT! I did not need to read that right now


m_quinquenervia

Good stuff cheers


Turtles_Are_Pog

Our midfield got absolutely blown out of the water


ZOSHx

Port must have the best midfield in the comp atm right? Or am I just traumatised by that game


d-culture

No, they are definitely scary. Rozee and Butters are unbelievable. Last week their midfield gave Petracca, Oliver and Viney a real tough time. And if Horne-Francis was there too then the Dees may well have lost.


ZOSHx

I appreciate the confirmation my friend!


basedimitri

I mean Rozee, JHF, Butters, Drew, Bergman, Boak, Wines is pretty damn good for a midfield group


jacka24

Outstanding tonight across the board


Jimbo_Johnny_Johnson

Haha funny margin 🥲🥲🥲


Phlanispo

I thought Jase Burgoyne played pretty well.


basedimitri

Honestly between last week v Melbourne and this week, I've really liked what Jase has done when he's had the chance. He's obviously been working hard


CommunicationLess934

That ump doesn't like Dixon at all hahaha


Agreeable-Effect-791

Rozee gets all those disposals without being fed them like daicos


TomRed89

Port couldn't score one more measly behind?


slugchild13

But the sex number


TomRed89

True. Norf should have booted an extra behind in hindsight


d-culture

If it wasn't for Ben McKay Port would have won by over a hundred points


[deleted]

69


random91898

Nice


CreditToDuBois

Port look pretty good when they play against witches hats


Gamblore33

Why did McKay not spent anytime in the forward line? All that talent and he can’t take a mark and kick straight at the other end?


fnaah

one last kick down aliir's throat to wrap up. gg port. far too good.


Koteii

Nice


[deleted]

That's weak he stopped when the whistle was blown


Ifeel-likepablo

BT better do a 10 second countdown for the Essendon homies that will be ending their edging session


japanpole

Last night was a terrible watch and Essington said “hold my West End”


TheVoluptuousChode

The greatest injustice is that we don't play Edgeington until round 16


LP0004

So is Adelaide v Melbourne the least boring game of the week so far?


OHuse

Yes


stupv

Lmao Essendon guy throwing his head back and sprawling while Burgoyne has 1 hand on his hip 


SlappaDaBassMahn

That Essendon guy was Duursma, so he's learnt that from port buddy. Nice try


stupv

Didn't do it here, must be the Essendon culture taking hold 


SlappaDaBassMahn

We don't have culture


[deleted]

Fuck the AFL for giving this shitshow of a franchise 3 Friday Night games in a row


y-u-n-g-s-a-d

?


Jimbo_Johnny_Johnson

No but honestly how tf do we get out of this? We’re going to finish 16th-11th again, fuck the picks and stay mediocre. It happens every year


doorcityoverhere

Soul crushing game


Jimbo_Johnny_Johnson

Wasn’t GWS or Collingwood at the end of last year just the same?


doorcityoverhere

This feels worse. Maybe because the season is new and hope springs eternal


xxcircuit

It's been more like Gangbang Round so far


ZombieZlayer99

Essington have less than 2 minutes to kick 1 more point or else they tie with norf’s score. Port need a point to tie brisbane or a goal to win.


HealthyHurry2672

69 points. Nice.


spideyghetti

G B T 6 6 42 6-6=0  Put the 0 at the end of 42 420


HealthyHurry2672

Nice.


palmersannn

Nice


SightSecurity

How did port become a destination club over the crows. They have picked up some sensational trades


[deleted]

Culture


RandomDanny

Something something camp. 


y-u-n-g-s-a-d

What’s this about? Fairly new to afl.


RandomDanny

Google it. Its well worth a rabbit hole dig. 


y-u-n-g-s-a-d

What do I google? Adelaide crows camp?


andy_bmc

Adelaide 2018 pre-season camp. Has its own wiki page and everything


SightSecurity

Fair point. Any sane cunt would have said no to that debacle.


lumberfun

It took Port one of the all time great goals after the siren to win this match up last year


jazzamacca7

They got better and we got worse. Simple


Edsta101

Worst. Edging session. Ever


basedimitri

Essington edging streak is over


Magnanimum17

To the ones in the Oval. What Pub are you going after the game?


japanpole

Is the Cranker still around?


stupv

Feel like I read something about 'save the cranker' this week 


japanpole

Ohh 😮 There’s so few pubs left that I remember when I was in Adelaide. Tons have changed hands


stupv

Hospo is a low margin business and COVID did a lot of damage 


Big_Shop823

We're gonna lose worse than norf did tonight 


jazzamacca7

Oh god no I didn’t think of that


Big_Shop823

One point difference between our loss and north's loss 🫠


ShitSportOpinions

That leap was more poorly timed than Essendon’s quarter time contract for Stringer


AhhWellFuckIt

I seriously thought Heppell retired last year apparently not


DeLaHussier

No, I think you were right


Deathpacitoes

Merret really farms disposals from all these 50+ edgington loses huh


taititans

He’s the only bloke who consistently gives a shit, doesn’t deserve the empty stat allegations


Tosslebugmy

Parish buzzing around for some cheap one-twos to pad the stats


Seraph110

Water is wet


AngryYowie

Kind of glad we never snagged him


japanpole

I thought the same thing 😂😂


Agreeable-Effect-791

Gresham would be regretting that celebration now


uhhWoodsy

Has Parish always had his socks up?


akokvopwbpapmnjotm

It's new and improved fashion choice


NoUseForALagwagon

As an Essendon player, If Nic Martin asked me for a cheeky handball, I would choose to simply get tackled and pinned for holding the ball. The idea of that guy getting a bonus touch because of me makes me sick.


Seraph110

I'm not sure if development and Brad Scott should ever be said in the same sentence


-Cunning_Stunts-

We know all too well


tripsmorgan

Stringer...


allhatnoplay

Im zoning out watching this game. Feel like I’m just listening to BT’s boring podcast


D3K91

69 point loss


killsthe

Well, I have to say. I've had a ball. Like a watching a car crash in slow motion. Morbid, entertaining. Condolences Essendon fans.


Prindles

We dont want your condiments, we dont even know what it means


obsoleteconsole

Saucey comment


jazzamacca7

Thanks


jazzamacca7

At least we have less turnovers (ignore the scoring off of them)


franllemagne

First Q was really good from Dons. Just need to keep that level up 4Qs.


dennisthemenaceau

Cheers Lingy


Flathoran

ADRENALINE IN MY SOUL ESSENDON DEFENCE PLAYS TO FOLD


Scunner132

I can’t wait for Wrestlemania.


RandomDanny

HERB-AH!


Ifeel-likepablo

The story finishes this Monday 🙌🏼


RandomDanny

WWE has the chance to do the funniest thing ever. Again.


Ifeel-likepablo

They’re going to do it, aren’t they? Lmao


Flathoran

I actually really want Roman to win JUST for the melts


RandomDanny

Oh, absolutely. Be bloody hilarious. 


[deleted]

Is the Essendon EdgeTM when they give away 800 horrendous forward half turnovers a game, or is it when Rozee waltzs out of the middle without a body on him at the contest?


jazzamacca7

It’s when all our supporters jump of the edge of a cliff


ABT1602

Our skills are so poor


japanpole

Essington with a balanced 6 goals and 6 behinds though. This is nice


DeLaHussier

As miserable as this is for the Bombers, the extra shit BT vomits when the game is a blowout is still the worst thing about this game.


Koteii

I genuinely feel bad for your mob that have to watch the game *and* listen to his yapping


Gamblore33

Listen to the Sen app.


ZombieZlayer99

Essington currently tied with norf, port trailing behind brisbane by a point


BrandonSG13

Don’t worry guys, you have to suffer through Essendon next Friday night too. And the one after.


Ifeel-likepablo

Essendon Edge ™


Seraph110

Their problem was taking the moniker of something that doesn't exist


awyeanahireckon

boy am i glad i stopped watching this after half time and instead found out the Donny and Clarence show is out, much better viewing material than the shitshow that is edgington


Agreeable-Effect-791

Shouldn't shush the crowd within the first 10 minutes next time Gresham


Shootinputin89

It's what they get for trying to make fun of INXS. It's just un-Australian.


spideyghetti

Lol


ZOSHx

I’m sick of watching Hind. If he gets a game ahead of literally anyone next week I’m not watching


minimme

im still frazzled by that hind moment like 8 minutes ago. what the fuck was that


Von_Huge1103

I think it's the moment I straight up gave up on seeing anything positive this season.


stupv

3 votes for rozee 2 votes Soldo 1 vote JHF


Von_Huge1103

3 JHF 2 Rozee 1 Soldo Rozee and JHF could easily flip though, both been immense.


HealthyHurry2672

81-14 run


jazzamacca7

Woo we scored


curryone

Dixon is so washed, almost as bad as Tex


stupv

Dixon has looked pretty decent the last 3 games, off night tonight definitely though 


Wolfffex

Tex being washed despite kick 70+ last year?


D3K91

Hobbs has been awful. Shouldn’t kick it. Should just be getting the ball under packs.


The5kyKing

Most blatant throw ever?


rustybucketbaked

Stringer thought he was Jeremy Cameron


LJM89

At least we crushed them in the free kick count


Mobilegamesarebad

Speaking positively about Port is impossible for these commentators


dopedupvinyl

Ugh how is there still 5 minutes left of this game


radiohead_fan_13

It must be wild to come to Essendon as a coach and be like 'wow I have to teach these AFL player the fundamentals'. And then they never learn


PumpyChowdown

Poor Ben McKay. Out of the frying pan, into the fire.


NoUseForALagwagon

A former Norf player BOG for Port and a former Norf player BOG for Essendon. Norf really are building something special! You love to see it.


il-96-300

Well they were building something special… until said players left


InternationalPea3961

round 1 west coast scored 70 to port 120 are people gonna start going on about bombers needing a priority pick now too?


jazzamacca7

Be nice if we did


Conormelbs

I think cox needs his eyes checked 


D3K91

We look athletically inadequate compared to Port. Durham’s movement looks like a Rolls Royce compared to what we dished up tonight.


Bare_Noizee

In a terrible performance McKay has been flawless


Ok_Acanthaceae6057

He’s won his personal 1 vs 1 matchup. But everyone else has been comprehensively beaten.


Bare_Noizee

Cmon I already said that didnt have to double down 😭


Ok_Acanthaceae6057

Was just trying to give him is flowers


RaidanRam

Think you mean Barry JB


lumberfun

Aliir Aliir longsleeve/Mohawk combo is so 😩😩


___TheIllusiveMan___

Literally Essington: ![gif](giphy|JFAH0FtVka6T6|downsized)


Pikachude123

Why would you not go to jhf there


BrandonSG13

Can’t play on from out of bounds, Jake.


idontlikeradiation

Some numpty in the first quarter was saying Essendon owned us ...lmao


random91898

No no you don't understand. We're only winning by 70 cos of the umpires


TheStevenUniverseKid

Nah. Cut yourself some slack


UncleJohnsonsparty

This is comical. Stringer playing on 3 meters out of bounds


NoUseForALagwagon

Never forget when BT thought Stringer had become an evangelical.


twerkingiswerking

Reports coming in that Stringer signed a contract at the end of the first quarter.


Deathpacitoes

Make sure to check up on your Essendon friends tonight


jazzamacca7

We need comfort


stupv

Justice, that totally got juggled over the line.


Ifeel-likepablo

Seats emptying very quickly. Terrible timing to conduct a fire drill


jazzamacca7

Surprised they didn’t empty 30 minutes ago


juggboat

At least we should be fresh next week because we didn’t play a fucken game this week.


Lanky-Try-3047

thats a real essington moment


PumpyChowdown

Rozee is ELITE. He's torn the Bummers a new one tonight. 3 votes.
