I am still very disappointed to lose that game. We need to start winning these games if we ever want to be a top team. No excuses, no avoiding it, we need to start winning or we will just be another Melbourne, all hype, no substance. Every year promising to be better, every year the same failures.
Yeah we look better, yeah we got very close, year the umpiring was not even under 3’s standard, yeah we fought it out after a bad start, year we have a good team assembled.
Collingwood last year and Richmond the year before all had “honourable” losses to contenders at the start of the season. In those games, it was evident that they’d improved and were a good side.
In my opinion, the same thing happened with Essendon yesterday. We did not win but we announced ourselves as a good team.
Feeling good about what this season will be for us.
I just said the same thing. Hooker is way too good back. Our defence has been tight. I think they bring somebody in to play forward and leave the backline as it is.
As much as it’d love to have something like this happen, especially if crap like yesterday continues. The only thing thats gonna happen is Essendon getting fined and possibly having to play games behind closed doors and/or losing marquee games.
The AFL will always back their umps unfortuanetly, especially in spite of Essendon.
Im honestly not sure what more we can do other than boo the ■■■■ out of them (and it looks like even that is causing strife).
Maybe its time Woosh does his best Clarko impersenation and takes Gil to that little old elwood cafe…
