Can't really fault effort. I'd put Henderson on Hawkins not that I think we have helped Rowe much.

If only Casboult could kick, like his work. Carrots doing great job on Johnson

Gibbs very good.

Pretty easy to see how they got smashed by Sydney. Cats are struggling. Should be 40 points up.

Hendo not getting a kick
Jamo off with calf
Rowe getting towelled up
Heres an idea why not move Hendo back
Is it that f#%&king hard Malthouse
Shit coach

Until each team plays each other the same number of times, the AFL, as a fair dinkum competition, cannot be taken seriously.

He (Mr Swann) said the honour and pride associated with the club's traditional navy blue jumper was priceless.

Someone tell Henderson the goals are not going to kick themselves. If you are going to play forward you at least have to want to kick goals.

Inefficient gameplan again. Control the game without scoring for large periods of time only to get run over once we are out of gas.

jamison done a calf?

old mans injury

3 years

third man up ...please help rowe out
gibbs has been good and can someone smash some geelong players , I hate geelong now, so arrogant

Every Hawkins/Rowe contest has been one on one. He'd be towelling up anyone.

Sorry.
They didn't get the clearance.
Hawkins didn't take the mark or kick the goal.

My mistake.

Last week he didn't get 70 hitouts and we didn't get beaten around the clearances.

Warnock has no idea where to tap the footy. He gets a couple od great taps a week and the rest are not to advantage.

The numbers do not lie. Hitouts to advantage are in the 30% range.

Edited..

The @#$%&! is with the centre bounce these days

Just @#$%&! it off and ball it up

These useless excuses for umpires can't even bounce a ball correctly or recall a dodgy bounce

Not sure if the question has been asked, but how many times has Thomas come up sore after leading with his head while tackling this year?

Can remember at least one other instance where he had to come from the ground and have noticed the technique a few others.

I reckon most of the lads have had a dip.

The problem is we enter games with so few midfield rotations (especially any ability to enter pace into the centre) and then we double down on that by adding unfit players (Carrazzo and Menzel), mainly cause there is so little depth in the reserves.

We need at least five draft picks this year and four of them should be on midfielders - all with at least passable pace.

Confirmed?

.............and we are looking very gassed at the moment.

Jeffy just getting beaten a little easily in some contests as well.

Umpiring poor, but need some composure when sides get a run on
We just can't stop momentum
Going to be a long night....

Can't cut them all, but if we can cut the under-achievers with currency like Murphy as opposed to those with none (Waite) then we can trade up. He is either tagged out of it, or fluffs his chances and fails to dominate. Gibbs is also a big dud relative to his draft status ( unlike true champs like Selwood, Pendles etc) so if we can get something for hi too then great stuff.

Hendo had his four weeks in the sun when we all said "he's made it" but since then ?? Hopeless !!

These guys are leading the club nowhere. We actually need to draft and recruit CLASS and then surround them with average to good players. At the moment our team is based around average players surrounded by crapola.

We don't know how to help our teammates in defence especially with our lack of tackling and defensive pressure acts all year.

Essendon-Only team to have ever been found guilty of salary cap breaches in a premiership year!

We've sunk so low in the AFL that the umpires don't even give us bottom team cheapies.

The umpire reaming is complimentary, sit back and enjoy the second half.
