Every year, we tip that we will beat North Melbourne and every year we lose. This year I'm just going to assume that we will lose, so if we win it will be a bonus and if we lose, I can say that I expected it. I hope they don't bring ex-West Coke player McGinlay to kick a bag against us and emulate h...

Fixed!

Firstly BomberFan why listen to SEN ? Secondly why pay any heed to anyone of Richmond or Carlton persuasion ? They say the same things about us when we are flying !!!!! Touche! But it wasn't anyone of Carlton persuasions praising the likes of Duigan and Co., it was KB and I have to say it made me s...

I think we have got to accept this far into the season that we're not on a level playing field in terms of umpiring especially the incorrect disposal and holding the ball rule. Ergo I've given up complaining about the umpiring. It's frustrating to see one set of rules applying to opposition teams an...

So because we have the dream team in place and are paying them more than we did Knights et al then obviously the side will be instantaneously transformed into a Geelong circa 2007 or Essendon 2000 ? Hird and the coaching panel are attempting to teach the players how to play a more defensive contest...

So doomsayers all what, pray tell, is Sir James meant to say ? Is he meant to out publicly and say we are crap and there is no redeeming hope for the second half of the season. I don't want him to say anything - actions speak louder than words; I wanna see improvement and I don't wanna hear spin an...

We have played good football for 10 or so minutes because the other teams have put the cue in the rack and allowed us to play good football. The fact that our pathetic mini-challenges have been put down so easily speaks volumes for how easily opposition teams can go up a gear against us. I feel so s...

...or next week we will drop out of 2011 Top 8 never to return because of: - Weak, gutless performances by the usual suspects in the last 2 weeks, their only defense being injury to our only top shelf players; Ninthmond and the Skiiers playing their best games individually/teamwise in a century wit...

It remains to be seen if the game plan we have adopted is tenable and practical - I for one am still not convinced. Not much point of continuing with this game plan if players are going to lose intensity less than half way through the season like they have so far.

Alwyn Davey - talk about players who have gone backwards every year in development at EFC. Remember where he went through a stage where he would always fumble the ball. He was once an important player on our team but unfortunately opposition teams have long since figured him out. He always gets mons...

I remember when Gus first started at the Bombers and we all thought we had a little gem on our hands. So is it really the player's fault that they haven't improved? Or is it a problem with our development of players in the last decade? It just has happened to too many players to be a coincidence now...

Watching both the Scum and Dawks come from behind has made me physically sick today. Why are we so goddamned shit!!! Richmond game we made Vickery and Rance look like superstars. This week against the Demons it was Bennell and Martin. FFS we absolutely destroyed this rabble in the NAB cup - what the...

A Plan B would be nice too!!!
Or are we going to work on our defensive skills next season and we're just learning the basics this year.

MEMO - COULD WE PLEASE GET A f***'N CRUMBER; BRING BACK BEWICK IF WE HAVE TO DAMMIT

If people think it's the three ruckmen that are losing us games, they are deadset dreaming. Remember that Melbourne lost Sylvia pretty early in the game so I believe this has negated any perceived 'three ruckman effect'. We're just an ordinary and inconsistent football team ie SHIT, we always seem t...

I no longer have any expectations but could we PLEASE not lose to Richmond like we have a habit of doing. That's the only win that I've got my fingers crossed for this year and I don't think it's a given. And there is no chance we will beat Adelaide - none of our players have got enough ticker to wa...

Who the f#$k is responsible for team selections? Is Knights trying to get sacked? I don't think a single Bomber's supporter actually agrees with these changes. I'm so over this season. :evil: Looking forward to watching more fumbling from Davey - don't think I've seen him actually one grab the ball ...

What about how absolutely slow we looked !!!!! Is that for real or was it a result of being flogged on the track. I am sure a couple of times I saw Bombers players make the motions of running but actually ran on the spot , didnt get anywhere, got tackled and then free kicked. Don't confuse running ...

Winderlich for Pris (he maybe soft (?) but at least he gets the pill. Haven't got a clue what Licha is up too but it ain't TOUGH footy. No fuckn' way. Maybe soft? You're damn right he is. Not only that but I'm sick of his little chip kicks to a player 15 metres away to our disadvantage. I know Dool...

Its not the coach... its the personnel. Agreed BUT the coach has had three years there now. So the fact that the personnel aren't good enough, is something that he has to take responsibility for. Unfortunately I think we peaked last year - begin our downward spiral now.Time to restart the rebuildin...

I definitely don't want Prismall, McVeigh or Davey back in the team. I'm sick of Prismall getting cheap possessions and playing risk free football with this short little chip passes. As for Davey, we need a crumber not a fumbler. Teams have worked him out now and make sure they apply plenty of physi...
