What did you think of Essendons Performance Today?????

Question

thoughts??? i think we played well until half way through the third quarter. It was a shame to see them give up. We better get our acts together for richmond or they will simply thrash us too.

Answer 1

well essendon are just going through what other teams go through rebuilding there stocks and it will take a couple of yrs to do so..you cant blame matthew knights for it all as he can only put his best side on the field and with all the injuries they have what can you expect from junior players ..they will be a force again one day..good luck .

Answer 2

Pathetic performance today

Answer 3

Essendon were too slow all day.  You were playing OK up until the third quarter but not 'well'.  Sydney crunched in harder at the ball all day and the Bombers had very little clean ball to run with.  Because there were three tacklers on every Bomber .... because ..... Tooooooo slooooooow.

Answer 4

Shocking

Answer 5

Um, they sucked completely apart from the 2nd quarter after that they still sucked. sorry, i was barracking for the bombers but they did deserve to lose.

Answer 6

we are doing what we are meant to be doing, having lost most of the team members old enough to vote - developing a team.

I for one had great heart from the thrid quarter today, all they have to do is keep doing it.

the baby bombers of 1993 came from stone motherless last at one point!

Answer 7

i may be no essendon fan but that was a **** performance to how they played in other seasons

Answer 8

You'd better hope your " rebuilding " phase doesn't take as long as Carlton's.   Otherwise there is a lot of pain and humiliation ahead of you.

But at the end of the day,  it is just a phase.   It will pass in time.

Answer 9

They are in a rebuilding stage, clubs need to do this, knights would of said this in his application for the job.

They will get few more hidings too, being a young side but they will also win some when you least expect it, young players are always up and down.

Richmond might be expected to win next week but we have a history of dropping games we are 'meant' to win. Next week will be a good game, both are young sides so it will be interesting.

Answer 10

Totally terrible and totally humilliating! I didn't see the second half of the game and it looks as though that was a good thing!!!

Ok, I understand that we are building a group of youngsters and I understand that our injury list is probably been at the worst I have ever seen, but that doesn't mean that commentators or other fans cut the poor fellas any slack when it comes to bagging us out!

I think that the biggest issue at the moment is with morale and confidence and I hope that the club can bring someone in to work on this with the players and God help Scotty Lucas recover from his bad knee and come back to kicking a bag almost every week!

Answer 11

They were Shithouse, plan and simple.

Answer 12

pure embarrassing

Answer 13

lets be honest

pretty deplorable
