Someone call a bloddy EGM. This is beyond a joke.

Welsh and Lovett cannot hit a target in general play.

Keep counting the clangers in the 2nd quarter... must be at least 10 already.

Lucky we dropped Watson

One positive. We move up one draft pick at the moment....

There is no positives in losing to Carlton.

The only positive at the moment is that it looks like Fev has hurt his hammy.

Fair point

Half Time
Ess 5.3.33
Carl 8.8.56

I cannot understand why we suck so bad at the MCG. Grass, goal posts - how difficult can it be?

Absolutely unforgiveable letting Lappin goal with 30 secs to go. Shameful.

Now.

Mark Johnson, please retire. Campo, please retire.

Listen up Laycock you f****** lazy c***. We're sick of your 30% efforts. Harden the f*** up.

Andrew "Cupido" Lovett, f*** off if you're not interested. Sheedy isn't around next year to wipe your arse so shape up or ship out.

I think everything that needs to be said, has been said about Essendon.

We have problems with leadership, a serious lack of pace and midfield skill, an over-reliance on Lloyd, and very little depth once we get a few injuries.

Simply put, a shitload lot of work need to be done to get this side into the finals in the near future.

According to the AFL Web Site only 2 Essendon Players are rated in the Top 10 players on the Ground at Half Time

There is simply no prode in this team

How can you knock off last year's top 4 teams and then play like this against this basket case of a club. Oh hang on...did I mention basket case?

I tell you, if Sheedy has anything left in him he should make certain this half time address brings some home truths to the table about certain players and their seriousness about playing at this level, for this club

We were already a rabble, now we are a fking disgrace.

Sheedy and his hurt pride, and ego is costing us this game. We are not even competitive in the mid-field against these nobodies without Hille, Watson, and Pev.

Mal Micheal our only winner on the park at the moment. The third gamer is breaking even with Lloyd. Maybe if Richmond play a rookie on him next week, he might win a few more contests.

Windy_Hill · Post by **Windy_Hill** » Sat Aug 18, 2007 3:28 pm

I tell you what, its likely we will now finish 13th this year gicing us another early draft pick. We are starting to become St Kildaesque with our early draft picks and sadly, not seeing much for it

Bradley (6)
Laycock (10)
Ryder (7)
Gumbleton (2)

Early days on a couple of the boys but when you add in a number 4 pick for next year, well the excuses will be running out. That will make about 1/4 of the team Top 10 picks

Kevin "bigger than Ben Hur" Sheedy has shown his true colours in the last 3 weeks.

Dead set egomaniac. My old man was right - someone should've tapped him on the shoulder 5 years ago and yelled as loudly as possible in his ear "f*** off!".

He has no humility at all.

As if you don't care? I think you are confusing not caring with being well and truly fed up with season 2007.

I for one am utterly fed up with 2007 and I'm ready to say "toodles" to Sheeds and Hirdy and then bring on the new era of 2008.

The last month of football from this team has been unacceptable. The team is stagnating and are only making things worse by playing football. I feel for Sheeds and Hirdy with this pathetic last month of football.

I am ready to move on, but have to endure 3 more weeks of this shit.

Geez I hope we win next week. What a sad, sad end this is for Sheeds and Hirdy.
