Review Round 7 = Essendon 85-85 Collingwood

[PonsfordMagpie]

I’m speechless.

 

[Rustin Cohle]

Absolute bed shitting performance right there. Deserved to lose.

Went into our shell from about 5 minutes into the last quarter.

Some of our older players are clearly just about cooked as well. Sidebottom, Howe and Mitchell on their last legs.

But, we won the flag last year so it's a lot easier to take now.

 

[TradeDraft]

Lucky to get a Draw.

We where Terrible in Final Qtr

 

[CasuallyDressed]

It was a great game.

But yeah, *.

 

[ThePhantom777]

Umps tried to gift it to Essendon, then we tried to and Essendon is that bad they still couldn't win.

 

[Exambolor]

Better than a loss but if Checkers scores with one of the OOTFs we win

 

[gouki88]

Carrying an awful lot of terribly out of form players, and it really nearly bit us. Quaynor, Sidebottom, Crisp, and many more were just shocking.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

1995 all over again.

Checkers’ two set shots in the final quarter that were both OOTF

Show some respect to Essendon. Nobody giving them the respect they deserve. They’re a good team this year.

Had our chances, but so did they

 

[Do_Beta_Rapport]

Do we keep the cup given we are the current holders?

Felt like we got obliterated around the ball today, keen to see Sullivan get an opportunity at AFL level.

If our midfield plays like that against Carlton it will be a long long long night.

 

[HeavyPop]

Midfield badly beaten. Probably need to make a few hard calls with some older guys in there, lack of acceleration from a few guys obvious with Essendon mids getting space easily.

 

[Monco Matt]

Absolute crap from us. I am tired of watching us trying to defend for 20 minutes holding on and not trying to win the game. It has to stop, we need to evolve and be better than that. Should have put them away in the last 15 minutes as we are a superior team but instead we just butchered the ball and made s**t decisions. Not good enough.

 

[Soaring Magpie]

Lucky to get a Draw.

We where Terrible in Final Qtr

Love that positivity

 

[gouki88]

Merret?? Martin, Langford & Stringer were all much better than he was to me.

 

[Brad Goodman]

I’m glad we didn’t have the medal winner, nobody deserved it

 

[swoop42]

Thankful for the draw in the end.

Some of our veterans had stinkers and the ones who were alright in Mihocek, Pendlebury and Elliott had some moments in the last they'd like to have again.

 

[DWil6]

Pounded as soon as the ball hit the ground. Clearances were abysmal. Feels like we got a let off.

 

[Chilli Con Incarnate]

A draw doesn't mean it was a good game. Apart from Elliott's mark, the general football skill from both teams was terrible. Fumbles and missed shots everywhere.

A few of our old boys looking very slow but not sure who else should be getting a game.

 

[Soaring Magpie]

Merrett best on ground…. That will do me!
Stat padder who had no impact

Bombers fans at my place are happy with the draw says a lot

Reckon a properly good team would have torched us today

 

[memoryofmchale]

Welp Harvey Harrison is ready. Play him again. Don’t stuff around this time. He can play.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

I don't understand what Elliott was doing at HF when he was running around in circles. He had Crisp on his own at CHF, and ran away from him....Crisp gets that ball, he runs inside F50 and has a clear shot at goal... Game Over.....
