Essendon V Fremantle: Game thread

Looks like Alwyn's done either an AC or a broken collarbone. Just gets better and better.

meh.... would have been dropped anyway. Reimers and Skipworth would have done a better job today.

Davey goals.... yes we will lose but we must keep the margin respectable or the Hawks will take 8th place tonight.... %%%%%%%%%% is crucial!!!

LOL.....

ahhhh well thats a relief then... still it would be nice to keep a bit of %% ahead of them!!!

% means about as much as Joffa's dick does to every woman in australia

RUBBISH! That's it, I'm going home.

Pathetic effort today, I hope we get smashed next week. Losing to 3 of the bottom 4 teams in the run home: Richmond, Fremantle, West Coast.
No team who wins 10 games in a season deserves to make it. Especially Essendon.
Still, we had a good year, won some really good games. Lost about 6-7 we shouldn'tve.
With Gumbleton possibly playing a game next year, i'm excited enough to think about finals next year.

hmmm 54 point loss to the side that got done by Melb last week..... why is it that we always have to play crap teams away from home. If this was in Melb we would have smashed them (well im guessing we would have) in saying that though the Shockers have a lot of decent young guys coming through and will be big improvers next season. Finals are not lost completely... Haw at the MCG... a Blockbuster on Sat arvo... just the kind of game that the EFC of 2009 lifts itself for... and they better.
