Nice One, Team

Talk about everything Essendon. Past, Present and Future if it's about the Bombers this is the place to be.

We are notorious for not playing good games for milestones etc. Look how we played for Hirdy's 200th against Richmond - like girls, untli he left the ground injured.

However it's all a moot point really. I concur with the above - considering our injuries and what sort of team we've been forced to play, I think we've been batting well above average. I'm not horrified.

Certainly one of our poorer performances this year (and there's been a few) however we look like a team that can't wait for the season to end.

Too many injuries to key personnel, too much expected of too few and we rarely (if ever ) had a settled line-up to work with.

Yesterday was symptomatic of our year!

Well Knighta obviously didn't think much of his squib either given that he was immediately dragged and put on the phone. Perhaps we were both wrong and you are right. I apologise. #-o

How f****** disgraceful. :x

Brent Stanton, grow a ticker. Or f*** off.
Had the pleasure of speaking with G'OD last week. He said the club was playing "on the bones of their arse" with regard to available players and intimated that their were injuries to selected players that they just has to ignore.

This is prior to the carnage of the weekend.

Perhaps you should look at the injury list before taking cheap shots at a decimated team.
Too far for Baker now he's on to it, now he’s got it, OPEN GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Dons are in front by one point at the 8 minute mark

I understand that. But's not like we've lost them all in the last 2 weeks, is it? It's been an issue all year. You play with what you have, just like everyone else.

No, it's not, we've been missing half our list all f*cking year.
