Review the Klan game - ANZAC Day 2023

[Mendozaaaa]

I’ve seen worse. But totally expected once we were a few up.

[Rhino-D]

until we can win back the ball between the arcs, we wont be able to consistently beat the best teams in the comp.

lots of work to do in this list.

■■■■ COLLINGWOOD

everyone say it, it helps

No issues with Collingwood, they are a great football club.

We, on the other hand, are a disgrace.

[Mackster]

I’m not taking about the result - I’m talking about the quality of the game.

[BomberDave5]

Wish the last quarter was the first quarter so we didn’t have any hope throughout the game!! Devastating that we still have no idea how to arrest momentum !!

@Mackster

For everyone potting the players - take a chill pill.

We simply ran out of steam, lacked experience and lost to a club that has won 9 of their last 14 when trailing at 3/4 time and narrowly missed the GF last year.

We are on the right track - enjoy the ride.

Our time will come - and it will be so good.

how many players are they missing ?

oh boo hoo they are good, they are missing half their ■■■■■■■ starting 22, but hey, lets except yet another anzac day loss cos it’s typical of essendon, can’t stand up on the big occassions.

billy ■■■■■■■ frampton and a c grade sub nullified the “best ruck duo ever” in draper and phillips.

when you bath in your own bath water, you cop the impending crap that comes.

[bomber_girl]

Which ones were worse? (Just because I can’t remember).

So crushing to lose but FFS people, Collingwood are serious contenders, they have been doing this for the past 18 months. 5 weeks ago we were thought as bottom 4. To get ahead in the 3rd and fall short at the end is heartbreaking but get a grip.

Quit being so positive HaPpY ClApPeR!

[mdso]

The third quarter we didn’t show. We virtually rolled over and handed it to them.
The thing is, can we learn from the same continual mistakes?

[Jaymin]

Collingwood do this to a lot of teams. Really good fitness or?

[Maxx]

Menzie went from hero to zero real quick.

[FTWinderlich]

Wheres my losing wallpaper Esssington?

@Blummers32

It was disappointing to lose.
But there are actually positives to take from that game.

We are capable of more than a bottom 4 team this year.
We ran Collingwood pretty hard today.
Again…
Disappointing to lose from 5 goals up, but we have to put ourselves in a position to win to learn how to win.
Our structures fell away under pressure.

Once Laverde went off, we had to shift Setterfield back to cover the lack of height. To get him back into the midfield, we had to shift Langford back which again, took away a strength.

When we called the ‘chips in’ play, we didn’t actually spread as well as we were hoping. That’s the first time we’ve called that play (and we have practiced it at training), but the players couldn’t execute under pressure. We need to get ourselves into that position again. You don’t just become a 2000 premiership team without going through the pain and growing times of 1998 and 1999.

Pity to lose, but we are performing far better, for longer than we have for a long time. We’ve played 6 very solid consistent games.
We’re on the right path. We just need to keep working at it.

Needed another showing.

[millagurnzie1]

All they needed to do was make it a ■■■■■■■ slog in the last…instead they lay down and die

[LeonBaker4Eva]

If we accept that loss the club is stuffed! Scott’s reaction will define his coaching with this group.

[Sweet16]

Death, taxes and Essendon FC choking to Collingwood FC. Every. Single. Year.
Even the VFL team followed the script.

[Dodga]

We contained them rather than blitzed them. They are tough to contain all day. Needed a goal or two in the last but coulddnt find a way

LOL

Yeah actually sorry, now that I think about it I should probably stop and reflect and find the poise and composure of alexf94 and just not say anything at all. Cheers.

I wish Ridley was as good as Darcy Moore

[sameold]

Wow people are seriously ■■■■■■ haha. What did ya’ll expect . Happens oh well
