Numbers like this make you wonder about Justin Crow’s competency. These are the numbers we produced in the second half of 2012 when the weapon had us jogging about like a bunch of cripples. To be this ill-prepared for round 1 is a fucken disgrace.

Cheers. You think they should have started VFL instead?
Next week can’t come soon enough.
That’s not a loss…this is a loss
Goddard should be laughing his head off…

I tipped against us 50 points, humid day away, playing a grand final abouts team, sydney umpiring, I thought we’d show something though due to the JLT ■■■■■■■■■■■
Tippa b&f season coming up, what a hero, all heart
Smith second best, was good smith game, not a great one
Hepp tried, and actually played well in my opinion, pass mark for me
Ding Dong played his worst game for the club, looks fat, we looked very different once he was taken out of the ruck
Turning fb hurley into hb hurley is a life ruining failure club should pay him out and trade him if they care about him at all, is painfully unhappy and sad to watch, is the shadow of his former elite kicking hitting the incoming ball at speed self
Langford is a hf or nothing, too slow and unaccountable to be a mid
Myers and Zaka are cooked
Baggers (against opinion here) played well, pressured hard
Smack nonexistant, but delivery woeful
Stringer wasted forward all game by woosh when we needed grunt in the middle (7 tackles as a fwd our leading tackler is not cool)
Saad okay but rusty
McKenna bad but with a few good things
Guelfi was reasonable but rusty
Ridley continues to look incredibly composed in a team of headless chooks, that wasn’t a free
Ambrose not up to it, we miss Hooker
Raz needs a few games to get used to the pace
McGrath looked really bad which was made to look worse because he was everywhere and was still powering in the 4th. I am excited by what he’ll be doing in 3 months and could bust some games open in the last with his run and work rate
Brown was average, but again delivery to him was terrible
Shiel I noticed maybe 3 of his possessions, feel for him, sorry mate
John Worsfold
3rd qtr is about to start, camera cuts to the bench, our two leading goal kickers are sitting there
puts francis forward in the last qtr when the game is toast
refuses to man up their spare
keeps letting our players get away with not letting them run past for a handball
Waits far too late to put Stringer into the middle
Questions have to be asked
And BJ was right to think he should have been given another year, we still need a player who can give up a turnover or two a game, but makes us far more competitive due to his professional nature and drive for success. 2019 essendon is telling me the standards of professional competitiveness at the club are ■■■■■■, and BJ was a plug holding a very big leak. We really missed a J Kelly / BJ senior backman type today, as we have grown none of our own and ruined Hurley

Oh well, he can find comfort in the fact that he is paid an elite footballers salary, despite not being an elite footballer.

“Supporters just need to be patient while we learn our new defensive strategies”
“Just because this is a big club, doesn’t mean supportershave the right demand success immediately”
Doesnt matter, there’s honestly no way back from this loss this season, the players showed there hand today and confirmed we’ll never go anywhere under this lot collectively.
