What annoys you about Essendon

What annoys you about Essendon? A number of things pester and bother me each season:

  1. Red Time Goals
  2. Week to week inconsistency
  3. Not knowing which team is going to turn up each week.
  4. Can’t understand or take too long to adapt to new ‘game plans’.
  5. Promising so much - delivering very little.

I guess that’s a start.

  1. The supporters

The club being more of a country club rather than a professional athlete organization.

This thread is going to go well.

We keep employing people that did not support us during our darkest hour.

Alternatively as a Corporate Entity rather than a hard football club desperate for on field success. More money will come when a new Premiership Cup is sitting in the foyer of The Hangar.

Everything at the moment.
The fact we can go out and play like we did on the weekend and then turn around and say - oh we’ll play properly this week - really ■■■■■ me off and it is an insult to us - the supporters who turn up every and support them with the same passion week in week out. The supporters have bled for this club over the past 5 years and to put on a performance like they did smacks of disrespect for us.

Most quiet supporters in the league. Atmosphere at most of our games (particularly at Etihad) is embarressing. You can hear the players talking to each other from the top deck sometimes. Worst ever

I’ll get yelled at for this… but I do wish we would return to the Essendon version of the Collingwood drone thingy.

It’s very effective in my opinion.

Using midgets as spot-up forwards.
Essington-like performances against mediocre opposition.
Lack of appetite for really burying teams (outside of early GWS/GCS games, when did we last win by 100+ points?)
Kick-ins.
Kicking skills.
Our subservience to the AwFuL these days - we loosen our strides and touch our toes any time Dill or one of his cronies opens their mouth…

Round 2 2013 v Melbourne?

The constant talk/hype/build up for a lack of action.

Losses to poor sides when we build said momentum and hype.
