Lets not pretend we were gutted.

Any blame for the state of our list lies at the foot of the club.
And they could have been 3 guns for all you know...I know Cripps was picked with what should have been our pick...a handy footballer just for starters. f*** knows about the others.. but you can`t say we weren`t fkng hobbled by the hierarchy...bunch of c****.

They could've been 3 spastics.

Cripps was taken at pick 13. A pick awarded to 6th, when did we finish 6th?

And I can say that the current situation is not due to losing 3 picks. Which is what I'm saying.
Essendon Football Club- We arent arrogant, just deluded.

Some-one told me about the Cripps scenario...if it`s wrong, stiff, BUT losing those picks certainly DID NOT help our current situation.

Hartley stiff
Agree with this.

No Hartley

Hartley, Begley and Langdford dropped
Gotta think Langford is on his last legs now. Will fill in for injuries going forward. He just doesn’t seem to be capable of taking the next step as an AFL standard footballer.

The kid is 21, has played 33 games, and has been given the number 4 guernsey. He ain’t going anywhere in a hurry.

He played well in R1, and was beaten up in R2. Beaten up by a Brownlow Medallist. Is that his fault, or the coach? Langford on Fyfe. Yep, I think everyone thought we’re on a winner here :roll:

Not sure if Woosha is really on his game this season. Won’t be long before Stringer is on the scrap heap if he continues trying to turn him into a bona fide midfielder. He’ll probably drop McKenna soon too because he dashes out of defence too quickly.

Nuts.

Yep ... thought that was bizarre ... but obvious statement to McKenna ... "If you break the lines - bloody well keep going".

He’d better be on the case today.

I’ve already seen one case in the Competition I follow,of a team being comprehensively THRASHED(by 118 points),bagged totally for it,then coming out the week after,winning by 10 Goals.

That had better not be us on the end of a Doggie turnaround!

For once,I would like to tip the card in the AFL,this weekend preferably,with Essendon front and centre of it,with a good Win. [-o<

What the f***? Gifting 6 shots at goal from idiotic cock-ups kicking in from points. How f****** useless is that? Even Auskickers do better.

Just what the f*** are they doing at training?

Do we have a game plan other than throw the ball on the boot and hope for the best.

Great to see our champion CHF dominating another game

Utterly useless


Sure we will get better as the game goes but this is a team in disarray we a re playing and they should be 6 goals up

Thank God for Hurley
