Poor Giants, Fox commentators keep referring to their (3) players out injured.

I know where we are at is pretty low, and got injuries ourselves, but geez you look at their outs, hogan, kelly, taylor, daniels, ward and i think a couple of others and they barely got out of 2nd gear and absolutely dominated them.

again i get some of the guys are young, but even the older and senior blokes, standing next to gws players they are just miles off their size, and then their work rate to boot.

you can’t say the fitness and preperation at the club is anywhere near where it should be (injuries aside making that obvious) but most still look like twigs compared to top teams.

A loss is a loss, even if the margin was not over 100 points, I still reckon one or 2 of the cats and bulldogs games we might be a drubbing to look forwards to, or not look forwards to. Gonna be a long 7 weeks before the final siren rings on a rather turballent season for the EFC.

That was actually not the worst. I was ok with it.

Good times. Good times.

TBH they are probably told to hype GWS by their corporate masters.

Great effort. Skills desperately need improvement. Lots of fans at the players’ race cheering them off. That’s why we’ll always be a better club than FC

There was some real positives in that.

They did everything the could to exonerate Briggs, yet threw Laverde under the bus.

And the AFL won’t give us any help

Well, we went into the game three men down (Gresham, Shiel, Perkins), so an OK result all-up I guess…

Was a good effort, tried to the end, some good signs, obv a lot to work on still. Still sucks to lose and is going to be a long few weeks. Ready for the year to be over and move on to next year.not sure how to feel but I do know losing sucks regardless of how, it just sucks

Gresham with 9 clearances, more than double our next best player was not on my bingo card

Essendon doesn’t need help. It just needs to take its salts, cop the pain of the next few seasons, and stop trying to quick fix everything.

Essendon’s biggest problem has been Essendon.

Good effort, but our kicking for goal a huge let down

By God it’s deflating when we can’t kick a goal from a simple set shot well inside 50. Even for a kid, it’s a basic skill. And when our experienced players, normally good kicks, ■■■■ up the shots at goal it’s even worse.

Just imagine if our 0.8 had been 5.3, or even 4.4. We would have been in the game. We could even have been in front. But I knew when we ■■■■■■ up that first attack of the second quarter that by half time we’d be blown off the park, and we were.

Depressing. Thank God for red wine.

That’s 7 losses in a row and easily end up being 12

How many players will walk out at seasons end? no one will stick around in a losing team
