To be honest I didnt think we would win. False dawn in Q1.
I think the consequences of this loss are culminated in late injuries to both merret and cox,
There was not a lot to display in the 2s. I think Ham will survive for R3 due to injuries. Hobbs to debut, Martin back and maybe Zerk for Stewart.
We are a bit like Australia Post. Fail to deliver when needed
We didnât look like winning in that last quarter.
Time for BZT back? I hate the Stewart bashing but maybe its time.
How bad was the âtapâ through. Before it even eventuated, i was concern his running back with the ball was a bit casualâŚFMD.
Whatâs your problem re??
We dont formulate arguments here we just spew out verbal diarrhea.
Doesnât matter if the cupboard is bareâŚyou donât gift players games. #sackrutten
Peak Essington is
That happened today
We have numerous forwards who canât kick the ball 50m
Thatâs a huge issue at this level
Too many cutsie one too many hand balls and the intensity disappears for too many periods
What will the excuses be this week?
Cox-This kid is not a wingman!, way too slow with decision making gave teams defence to much time to get back.
Heppell- 11 touches to his name at 3/4 time. For a captain of this team who want to respond this is well below par.
Smith- Ham showed more balls then this bloke now thatâs saying something. Needs to be dropped because he is not a 1âs player.
McGrath- Give up on the midfield time itâs beyond a joke how jittery this bloke is around the ball. What happened to the cool calm collected bloke in the backline?
This bombing into the forward line needs to stop. Way too many times we do this and make Marcus Adams look like a superstar. Steven May will be licking his lips after seeing those inside 50 entryâs by us.
Wonder what excuse it will be from Truck tonight, Composure?, Injuryâs? Forward line depth?
All I can say is for 150 years your not doing the year justice!
lucky brisbane played poorly to allow us kinda get within 60 points.
usual essendon story though.
handful of dumb players surrounded by a mostly poorly skilled players masquerading as professional atheletes who put in at least a better effort this week to poorly execute most of their well paid jobs criteria.
argh well, sheâll be right mate 
Half the team were next to useless. Including the coach biting his nails in the box.
And what about Tex? We are bottom of the ladder where we deserve to be.
You want to drop five players because you donât gift games. Did you watch the twos? Youâd be gifting games to whoever came in. Whatâs the play? Show up with 17 blokes?
We are heading bottom 4 head needs to roll at seasons end of this continues
Couple of the boys had career years 2021. This is our reality. We have holes absolutely everywhere. This is what 2021 should of been, get used to it, accept and lets look for positives and development from our younger players
Iâve been looking for positives and youngsters developing for 20 years I have had enough I want results now
Sorry mate. Your hurting and thats fair. But our reality is we wont get results now. Will need to suffer through until we get more young talent in the door and games into important players like Jones, Cox, Perkins, Caldwell etc
I bet Smith gets a game before Martin or Wanganeen next week.
Did anyone really expect us to knock off Brisbane?
They were less than a kick off a prelim last year, and probably wouldâve gone through too.
We had our chances
