Essendon v Hawthorn Match Thread

[auditor]

that's it Prismal kick it to a contest...result, goal Hawthorn.

[bomberdonnie]

Saw we kicked the first goal on the TV... thought id check the real time scores.....

WTF........

Thought the team on paper we had was pretty good, how can this keep happening... almost worse than last year at the moment.

Turn it off now

[auditor]

no accountability in defence none in the middle of the ground and not a forward in sight... says it all

[s'dreams]

Rider and Welsh bloody hopeless ... don't even deserve playing for Bendigo next week.
Prismall = turnover king

All three must never play for us again

Sorry Paddy ... you are not worth the grief

[stryper]

Sorry Ms M ... you are in the absolute extreme minority here ...

Awful - Hope none of our players are after more money in the collective bargaining agreement.

Radio switched off - if they can't be a***d to make an effort in the game, I cant be a****d to listen to it.

Half-time ratings

Bellchambers 4/10- Trying hard but can't mark the ball if they wont kick it to him.
Davey 2/10- Rubbish. Did one good thing early but other then that runs 10 metres behind. Also very soft.
Fletcher 3/10- Ordinary and thats being kind. If he can no longer go to a player the quality of Hale then he may very well be past it.
Heppell 6/10- Poor bastard. Must be wondering what he's got himself into.
Hibberd 6/10- See Heppell.
Hille 4/10- Keep watching him bust his gut but they wont kick it to him
Hocking 7/10- Stand out. Only "senior" bloke that looks like he cares.
Howlett 1/10- Had to check to see who I'd missed. Done nothing
Hurley 4/10- Done some nice things but to few. Should be destroying the Dawks tonight.
Jetta 5/10- Put him in the guts. He's done alright when the ball has gone past the centre line
Lonergan- 4/10- Injured and out of the game. Got 3 or 4 clearances early.
McVeigh- 2/10- f*** off. Seriously. You wanted to be captain yet you refuse to get a hard ball. Soft touches against the half back line aren't worth your salary.
Melksham Unrated- Only just came on
Monfries 3/10- You're not 6" tall. Remember this.
Myers 5/10- Can see him getting caned on here but has been serviceable.
Pears 3/10- You can't break 40 tackles in a row. f***.
Prismall 4/10- Couple of turn overs. Has been ok though.
Ryder 1/10- f*** off to GWS if you dont give a shit.
Staton 4/10- Been ok. Running hard to space yet nobody goes with you. Not your fault.
Watson 3/10- Hamstring.
Welsh 1/10- f*** off.
Zaharakis 6/10- Been good. A lot will cry about that horrible turn over kick to Monfries but f*** nobody else was leading AT ALL. At least you tried something.

It appears to me that any game plan at this stage is completely being misunderstood by the players. what ever zone we are setting up in the back line is clearly not working OR falling on deaf ears...a long night ahead. Our best days are in front of us I have no doubt about that.

Ryder 2 posessions to 1/2 time ... cannot take a one grab mark no matter how simple it is ... trade him

[boncer34]

Well that sums us up. 2 players free and clear. f*** it up. Nobody prepared to go hard. Turned over and Dawks goal.

Hate to say it but I said this over a year ago. Could be anything but simply hasnt got the fire in the belly. Probably needs a differnt environment. Sadly, his trade value has plummetted.

[auditor]

first piece of forward line pressure results in a goal...where has it been for the last few weeks?

[boncer34]

Here we go. Our second half "effort"

[auditor]

No doubt about it our guys have no idea why they are out there tonight. Absolutely shocking defensive effort tonight. The elders of the side leading the way in that aspect.

[boncer34]

Even googling porn isn't making me feel any better.

[swoodley]

f***...just got home from watching my daughter play basketball and thought I'd grab a quick score.

No need to watch the replay tonight (again )

[auditor]

How the f*** does a player get 10 m clear in their forward line. I just don't get it!

[Rossoneri]

Earliest I have ever left.
