Re: 2024 R9, EFC v GWS Pissants
I thought Hind was ok. Kelly did a good job on Greene too. Some of those lesser lights did well.

Re: 2024 R9, EFC v GWS Pissants
It does seem very odd not to choose Shiel (or perhaps Tsatas).

Re: EFC Fun Facts
That is an amazing statistic, Ben - thanks for putting it together.
As well as highlighting how pathetic and sad we have been for the past 20 years (obviously), it also shows just how good we were in the previous 20 years. Oh, how I miss those days!!

Re: Round 3: Ess vs St Kilda
It certainly was a bit of a steal. I guess just persistence and a bit of luck that St Kilda missed a lot of shots.
Heppell was as good as I've seen him in quite a long time. I thought Hind provided a bit of spark when he came on and I liked a lot of what I saw in Duursma.

Re: 2024 Round 2, EFC vs Syd-in-eeeee
I thought we were okay for 90% of the game and at least had a dip. It's the 10% of the game when we're terrible that really lets us down, with all those old problems we've all been complaining about for years and years rearing their ugly heads again - fumbling, kicking straight to the opposition, fa...

Re: 2024 Round 1. EFC v Hawks.
I suppose a win is better than a loss, but geez not that convincing. Considering how weak the opposition were, we only really won because we kicked straight and they didn't. Let's not forget, we beat them by a much bigger margin in the exact same game last year! It will be interesting to see how we ...

Re: Squadron 17 Flies Fleet to Arizona Camp Meeto
I am still badly scarred from the pathetic efforts displayed in the final two rounds from last year. Normally, around this time of year, I am starting to run through last seasons games looking for a bit of inspiration. I simply cannot get motivated to read the various “fluff” pieces in the press . ...

Re: R24 Essendon Faeces v Collingwood
I agree with your theory, Rocky. There has to be something going on behind the scenes that we don't know about.
That, to me, is the only possible explanation for such a big fall off the cliff.
Is it something to do with Mahoney leaving???

After the first ten minutes, we never looked like it. Really hope we do NOT make the finals as clearly we are not up to it.

Re: R18 Essendon v Geelong
Geelong have been absolutely red hot. Very few teams would have been able to stop them in that first quarter. Having said that, we are not helping ourselves by constantly turning it over.

Re: R16 Essendon v Port Adelaide
Geez so close and yet so far away. I reckon we were the better team for 70% of the game but just made a few crucial errors here and there and couldn't get the bounce of the ball to go our way.

Re: R16 Essendon v Port Adelaide
We are hanging in there nicely. Phillips doing well in the ruck. Stringer and Hobbs doing a lot of good work. Not sure if the rain helps us or them.

Absolutely spot on. If we can't beat Carlton, then we really haven't made any progress at all, in my book.

One of the worst wins I've ever seen. Still, I suppose it's better than a loss. Or is it?

Re: R11 Essendon v West Coast Seagulls
Given how weak the Eagles are at the moment, we really should have won by more.
But oh well a win is a win. I agree AMT needs a spell.

Re: R11 Essendon v West Coast Seagulls
Finally got a couple of goals toward the end of that quarter.
Hardly what you'd call convincing.

Re: R11 Essendon v West Coast Seagulls
I feel like we're doing enough to stay in front (just) but not enough to really put them away properly.
Considering how weak they are as opposition, we should be doing better.
