Game Day Round 21 - Essendon v Freo, MCG, 4/8/24, 3.20pm AEST

[NoWuckingFurries]

Sub Menzie for Davey now. We need game time for him and Menzie is a complete shit truck

 

[WABomber]

Bryan in the first quarter is the reason the bombers are in the game. If he can just get his positioning around the ground and a speedier handball off he will be a weapon. Forgot what it was like to have a tap ruckman that can hit to advantage. Massive difference from what I saw earlier this year, hope he plays the rest of the season.

 

[scatman john]

not very cerebral our guys

 

[bommer16]

What’s happ to Hobbs?

 

[mcgrath_truther]

One of the worst 10 minute patches I’ve seen for a while. Auskick level IQ.

Scott is at fault for player him to be fair.

the fact that his mark didn’t end up with him sending one down stringers throat sums him up

shit and selfish

 

[Ambrosia]

Come on man nobody is defending that.

I’m talking about ****ing up a 2 on 1 when you’re first to the ball

 

[mcgrath_truther]

on the bright side i did get a free hat so i look like a huge dickhead

 

[HirdsTheWord]

much the same story as rest of year, dominate play and can't score from it. Same olds being same olds.

 

[brutus76]

Kicking forward of centre =

 

[Blind Turn]

Menzie watch: I can’t watch any more. It’s easier to watch reruns of Full House.

Brad Scott to rage quit in the post match

and he never had the leg to travel from outside 50, so why the hell did he wait and have a shot? Just stupid

 

[Dons4days]

I worry about Scott’s understanding of the game if he thinks Menzie deserves games over Hind.

Hind would be so handy today.

I like this version

We can only hope.

 

[crackers65]

Stringer 7 tackles, Menzie 2 tackles, Gresham 0 tackles. Draper has had 4 and he has no idea where the ball is going. Menzie and Gresham give us absolutely nothing.

 

[Blind Turn]

baffling how menzie got 3 chances inside 50 then abd failed to score 3 times

Is it really that baffling though? No, I’ll tell you what’s ****ing baffling; the one year contract we just gave him.

 

[Squeaky]

I have said this before, but there must be footys piling up in the gutters at Melrose drive in front of EFC headquarters. We miss the mark by that much when kicking into the f50 it is embarrassing. And then losing every contest for the last 5 min was just icing on the cake.

Hind would be so handy today.

Maybe he’s going with youth, like most supporters have been screaming for. I’d rather hind, I don’t rate menzie in the slightest. He’s only really above average at using his body to take chest marks, but it also speaks to how average both daveys and Wanganeen have been.

Gresham could apply more pressure, but at least he's kicked 2 good goals.

 

[cobra land]

That’s just an horrendous effort from Cox. He’s not up to it mentally. Can’t be consistently making basic mistakes like that

He will be better in the 2nd half when they turn the lights on.....I actually think that Weideman may be more competitive than Cox.

[scatman john]

Gotta hand it to Menzie in getting another year - negotiating tactics rivaling a diplomat. Probably a good lad but isn’t up to it. Unfortunately takes a spot on the list from someone who could be a long term prospect

This isn’t good for Caldwell career and probably not future Essendon sides, but we would probably be a better side if he was played fp and we played setterfield.

 

[Happyskeret]

Gresham could apply more pressure, but at least he's kicked 2 good goals.

Meanwhile Menzie has kicked 2 goals for the year!
