EF 1 - Essendon vs Adelaide Match Thread

[ealesy]

And now the umps have decide to stick the f****** boots in, f****** soft free to Tippet resulting in the goal, after Slattery had a free paid for a holding the ball decision that was probably there, but I've seen the Crows get away with about 5-6 exactly the same.

[s'dreams]

F$%$^&* umpires ... frees to Skipworth and hurley in the forward 50 not paid ... be consistent you offsrping of unmarried couplings!!!

Atkinson ... !!! %^&*(

Cheers - STI

[ealesy]

f*** me, Tyson Edwards must love playing us, we are afraid to go near the bloke!!

[Jazz_84]

how many "in the backs" does it take for essendon to wake up and stop doing it? we don't have an answer for that yet!

Half time

Ade 12.4 76

SO THESE MOTHERF*CKERS ARE STILL KICKING GOALS OUT OF THEIR ******* ARSE!!

f*** OFF!

[paddyl90]

It's all over my friends If you're surprised by this then you must have been confident.

The BIG difference - Class & Experience vs Young & Inexperience.

Massive thrashing coming up folks. Settle in.

But remember the highlights of this year. It's been fantastic.

[Royza]

Crap start. Destroyed in the clearances as expected. Killed on the counter. To top it off, Umps had fun missing a clear throw, chop of the arms, holding the man, & giving us a disadvantage.

[auditor]

I don't want to be blown away by these fckers.

Where the hell is Lovett??

[vern]

Turnovers are killing us. Atkinson a chief culprit-seems to be very panicky tonight.
Looking for a much better effort this next half. Slo down at the moment f dispoal and make sure you hit your target and we'll be back in the contest.

We were further behind in 93

Wouldnt be throwing the towel in so quickly

[BenDoolan]

OK, Lovett, Watson, Welsh, Winderlich need to lift in the 2nd half. Have got virtually zip from these guys.

We're not going to win this game, but we can't allow a capitualtion.

[hillchaser]

I just wish Atkinson could make some more crucial mistakes

[vern]

I should've stayed at the pub... we were tied up when I got home! Now we're getting pantsed this term

Tied up and then pantsed - can I come o your house. How much is the airfare Qld to Tas?

Sorry Megan couldn't resist

Spot on. You can't knock Atkinson for trying. As aweful as those turnovers were, we've seen when he's pulled it off. It's frustrating but it's a learning experience for all of them tonight. Just hope they don't allow a capitulation

[auditor]

They are so clinical when we turn it over

[Jazz_84]

They are so clinical when we turn it over

and the bad thing is it's far too often! just can't get it out of there

[The Fly]

OK, so the game is now officially the Crowbots to lose. If we can get back witin a few goals then look out. But the errors are killing us.

And for the love of God Slattery, just kick the ******* ball you complete fckstick. Leave the clever stuff to those with some ability.

[hop]

They set up so well behind the ball - so as soon as they get possession they know where to flip (or throw) it and then have blokes either running the lines or creating space out wide.

Watch and learn Bombers - when your bodies are bigger and stronger........

[ealesy]

41 points down, easy, 1 less than we needed to come back in the 93 premliminary final. Jobe to kick the sealer, just like his Dad did in 93.

Shit there certainly has been a f*** load of home town decisions, it appears that Essendon players don't have backs, if tackled an Adelaide player can throw or drop or basically get rid of the ball in any manner they see fit and it will be deemed that they have correctly diposed of the ball. Meanwhile an Essendon player can actually dispose of the ball when tackled and they will still get pinned for holding it.

Getting absolutely dominated in the ruck contest, and as a result the clearances.

A question, was Bellchambers injured, or did Knights simply feel Hooker and NLM offered more in the ruck, because if so, it would suggest to me the blokes papers are just about stamped.

Too many turnovers coming out of the backline and Jarrod Atkinson has been absolute poo tonight.

[Megan]

Ok there's the shit term out of the way, now hopefully onto a better second term.

We're playing a team which outclass us somewhat in the terms of talent, and they're further along that golden path of development. If we can keep up with them in the third term, sneak up a little closer, blow them away in the last...

Vern, and when we're done with that we'll go back to the pub
