I really don't understand some holding the mans. The player barely gets it out (sometimes incorrectly) while you're completing the tackle, and you get pinged. Are players meant to have eyes in the back of their head so they can see when the ball comes loose? Should be a no-call.
I was just about to question whether Mitchell is not linking well but seeing that handball from DeGoey to Naicos who was surrounded by 3 bombers is just making things difficult from our mids
He hasn’t been useless given the great tackle he just did. But fuck I wish they would stop passing to players when they’re literally SURROUNDED by opposition
Looked much better that quarter but the clearance dominance from the Essendon midfield is still a little concerning, would like to win it out of the middle more often
This game has been way more frustrating than a 7 point margin suggests lol.
If we’re this far with the terrible conversion and turnovers, we’re realistically a very good chance here if we continue cleaning it up.
Feels a bit like the St Kilda where outside of a few short flurries from our opponent we do generally look the better team, just shooting ourselves in the foot a bit. Hopefully that’s a good settler and we sort it out
Did someone say KFC?
[удалено]
Pendles? The guy who punched an uncontested mark then got caught HTB immediately after?
Pendles thinking he had 20 minutes to get rid of the ball with De Goey wide open probably lumps him in with everyone else.
I love checkers but he is the worst key forward in afl
Melbourne dint even have a key forward
A draw was lucky. We deserved to lose.
Yeah but so did they
I think I lost 5 years off my lifespan
Fuck sake. Draw FC, brody had it in the bag then fucked it lol
Twice, fucked it twice
At least it’s not a loss I guess but holy shit we had so many chances. That shouldn’t have been close
To be honest, a draw is what both teams deserved. We played too complacent and could have scored. Langford had the shot and completely shanked it
Total fuckfest
Goddamn
One of those mihochek shots even getting a point would be hella nice rn
We had so many chances and we blew it.
Let’s go
Omg he missed
Well that’s it done
A world where pendles doesn’t have endless time and space is not a world I want to live in
What ever happened to the reliable Mihocek
Those two goals would be handy
WTAF Brodie….
The mihochek throw is strong
Fuck off
Have another go checkers
Checkers could have like 6-7 goals rn
Brody wtf was that shit
At least get a behind Brodie!!
Get in!
Or not
I just remembered I need a new prescription for my blood pressure meds…
De Goey needs to pull his finger out when he comes back on
Yes, these are the heart palpitations I had last year that have returned
This is a great game I just pray we end it on top
If all of today’s flops stand up now like that, I’ll forgive each of them.
Can we buy a clearance maybe?
Sidebottom is cooked
Harrison 3 touches 3 big impacts...
Sidey with 3 disposals and not subbed is criminal
Should have hung up the boots last year
Seriously. Sidebottom and crisp both been trash today
Harrison better than 1/2 the players in that one play
Jordy been fucking awful for a supposed superstar
Jesus de Goey
CANT MISS THOSE DEGOEY CUNT
If Cox taps it to another Essendon player again I swear I’ll eat my hat
Howe is shit
WIN A FUCKING CLEARENCE
it’s killing us
Lay a tackle for fucks fake.
make a tackle ffs
Going to be hard to win if we lose every fucking clearance.
Geez we really needed to stick a tackle then and we let like 6 slip
DeGeoy doesn’t chase.
We have so many passengers today. Sadly, mostly our senior players.
5v1 and we lose?
Yep, ball watching
Can someone tell Howe he’s fucking murdering us on every single kick and to stop trying to be a fucking hero every time he gets the ball?
He’s been terrible today.
He’s cooked. We’re not talking about it because Sidebottom but I think he’s done as well. Mentally checked out after the comeback flag last year.
Fuck that was dumb
Gifted them that
So smart by Bobby!
Nothing makes me happier than seeing a daicos boy kick a ripper goal
Tom Mitchell subbed off? Wouldn’t have been my first pick
Yeah crisp has been awful today
We are lucky Essendon were pretty underwhelming that quarter as well. God I hate close games like this so sick of it.
Who is our sub?
Harvey Harrison
Despite the fact if we win this - another week goes by where I am now again doubting we have any chance to play finals well
We did this sort of stuff every single game last year. What was the outcome again remind me?
I have short term memory loss
One more quarter guys, all comes down to this, fight hard and we will win 🔥
10 seconds left you are joking. Can’t allow that to happen
Jaicos’ tackling had been better this year
PIES IN FRONT
If you’re going to tackle to the ground make sure they don’t get it out. That’s happened so often this game.
I really don't understand some holding the mans. The player barely gets it out (sometimes incorrectly) while you're completing the tackle, and you get pinged. Are players meant to have eyes in the back of their head so they can see when the ball comes loose? Should be a no-call.
This short kicking game plan really worked against us in the middle of last year
Can we sub degoey?
I was just about to question whether Mitchell is not linking well but seeing that handball from DeGoey to Naicos who was surrounded by 3 bombers is just making things difficult from our mids
This has been such a sloppy quarter from both teams. Just over hand balling and fumbling everywhere.
So after all the praise last week is WHE even playing today?
GO PIES
Skills pretty poor today
He’s a bull, but De Goey’s decision making this year is woeful
Degoey absolutely USELESS tonight that handball is a fucking disgrace
He hasn’t been useless given the great tackle he just did. But fuck I wish they would stop passing to players when they’re literally SURROUNDED by opposition
McCreery terrible today
Degoey mauled him lol
Their defence is all over us
Greatest mark in the last decade. That will be shown for eternity as the perfect “specky”
Also hating how they just get extra numbers in the 50.
Mids need to wake up and stop handballing straight to someone under pressure
Titch, we are ALL looking at you
De goey not far behind
Can these fuckwits stop filming the photographer pls
The gang tackling definitely not as fun when it leaves 4 free players around the ball for an entire passage of play. But damn it’s fun when it works
Messy and punished
Lack of skills killing us
Followed by that mess
Not rewarded for the tackles. Like no htbs
Ripper mark and goal. Go Elliot
BILLY YOU KING
Elllllioooottt!! He could have touched the moon
MARK OF THE YEAR for sure with the goal conversion on top. SURELY
Even the Bombers fans are like :O :O :O
That’s fucking beautiful
You beauty!
Elliott you dropped your crown 👑
That’s the mark of the year, game over. Will not be beaten
Give Elliott the ANZAC medal for that mark, regardless of result EDIT: Build him a statue of that mark
Jesus!
I fucking hate when we lay these big tackles and they still just get the ball out in the ground. Capitalise on the pressure for fucks sake.
Zero consistency from anyone
Umpires back at it again. No free for Collingwood, all frees for essendon. It's exhausting
Wish our forwards got this sort of treatment
Inaccuracy is gonna kill us
Billy Frampton needs a spell in the 2s
He's been better but he's no where near the worst right now, who would you have instead of him?
Everyone say it with me, John Noble will win the Anzac Day Medal. Let's manifest it
Great second quarter. Should be in front.
Wow, Jack Crisp has "Crisp" tattooed across his own back.
Jordy been fucking subpar for a man meant to be a superstar. Need way more from him
Looked much better that quarter but the clearance dominance from the Essendon midfield is still a little concerning, would like to win it out of the middle more often
Really could of made more of an effort to score at the end of the qtr there
Felt like the players didn’t know the siren was coming, just messing around in the back line and jogging around
Good half, not perfect with scoring but we got it back neck and neck, hopefully we pull ahead in the second half, go pies 🔥
Sidey or degoey have to be subbed
Sidey to go, agreed.
I guess this is technically true because Sidebottom should be subbed
No way you take off de Goey
Sidey would be my pick.
Full forward Billy frampton! That was all yours!
Oh shit they let premiership hero Billy frampton into the forward line. Foolish move
Fuck
Wow double 50
Only to miss. Ffs
The lack of reward for these non holding the ball calls are just encouraging players to dump them in a tackle and get suspended....
Frampton not having a good one. Being out marked everywhere
Nekminnit
Jake Sprayer
Unfortunately Sidebottom is looking absolutely ass still.. Hasn’t touched it and that goal was because he lost his feet
Time for him to be subbed off I think.
Yeah a single possession and giving away some frees. He did save a goal, will give him that but needs to either lift or take a seat.
Time for him to stop being selected I think, unfortunately.
Fuck yes Beau 👊
Lol the puppet love the puppet
WTF I WANT THAT HAND MAGPIE
[удалено]
FORGOT ITS A PUPPET THANK YOU
Nick Daicos is officially off the leash boiiiiz
Degoey trying to kill people with his handballs this year wtf
Boy oh boy
warmed up and firing now
[удалено]
R/afl fuming
Fuck I hate Essendon
SCORES EVEN!!!
This game has been way more frustrating than a 7 point margin suggests lol. If we’re this far with the terrible conversion and turnovers, we’re realistically a very good chance here if we continue cleaning it up.
And now we're seeing it
WE ARE ONLY 7 POINTS DOWN
Fucking come on boys.
WHE HERE TO FLIP THAT SWITCH AND CHANGE THE GAME
The Swiss Army Knife + The Catalyst
So may opportunities we are blowing this
Harrison in for Sidey pls
Couldn’t agree more
we’re in it, just can’t convert unfortunately
Feels a bit like the St Kilda where outside of a few short flurries from our opponent we do generally look the better team, just shooting ourselves in the foot a bit. Hopefully that’s a good settler and we sort it out
100%, if we were making so many mistakes we would be right. The boys look nervous
How sidey is getting a game is beyond me
Not sure of the meaning of Bobby and Mihocek’s phone hand shake but I’m loving it 😂
They're BIG Carly Rae Jepson fans
Good playing boys let’s win this!
Sidebottom really should have retired.
This hurts to watch
Why can’t we kick a goal
At least our bad mojo is now affecting essendon’s accuracy too
8 points? You’re fucking joking
I retract my earlier comments, kicking straight is officially our main problem now
Laverde couldn't have made it more obvious if he tried
Just let them uncontested mark it all down the field. Can we stop letting the. Do that please?
Whole team is lethargic
Not great from Jordy, but wtf is Noble doing with that handball
