Our skills are pathetic enough in dry weather, can’t know what carnage is coming tonight if it’s wet

Also featuring stats on Zaharakis’s year. Not pretty.
Would have been a cold one at the top of the Southern tonight.

EFC must be the worst wet weather team in the AFL?
Cant remember us winning in a water soaked game in 5+ years…
Collingwood is a professional outfit with leaders all over the pitch, they play the same every week regardless of conditions or the venue.
Cant see the weather changing anything for us tonight given we are the softest and least trust worthy team in the comp…
We flogged Carlton last season, and it was ■■■■■■■ down.

MCGUANE: TIME FOR ‘VANILLA BOMBERS’ TO RELEASE SHACKLES
Essendon coach John Worsfold must move the magnets and scrap his boring game plan if the Bombers are to beat Collingwood on Friday. And his prized midfielder must find a way to hit the scoreboard, writes Mick McGuane.
Sounds about right.

Over the past couple of seasons I’ve heard few times from umps “Didn’t try to keep it in.”
This is usually after a player has kicked the ball a fair way parallel with the boundary line, “going for territory,” but then the ball has bounced at right angles and gone out.
Mick missed the memo that Worsfold isn’t running the game plan anyone. Probably the concussions killing his brain cells.
Happy for it to stay that way while Rutten finds his feet.
■■■■ these ■■■■■ are stupid.

McGuane is a very smart football tactician and an extremely well regarded coach. He’s very interesting to listen to when he is talking about the game.

Amazingly, McGuane seems to have forgotten the #1 player we have for “run and gun” out of defence hasn’t played this year and isn’t playing tonight: Conor McKenna.
Secondly, we were slow and hesitant going forward last week because we let Docherty play as a spare down back all night; hence players up the ground often hesitated seeing him in our F50 standing alone.

Not only are you racist, you are also sexist;
probably mentally deficient too.
Not a bad way to spend any night. 
Rain put paid to any working, so already got the fire roaring, and enjoying a couple of half shot Hog 3 spiked Coffees.

Yeah he’s an odd bloke to look at that’s for sure haha
Perhaps it would be less upsetting to a few posters if we said we don’t want to see Worsfold-style football.
