With one of them that's all that will be needed.
I normally get to work early and put an old scarf on their chairs and when they pull the chair out they know who's responsible

Bevo is a genius, his game plan is different.

A goal in 21 seconds then 21 unanswered goals before they were the benefit of some junk time goals is a fantastic platform to have some discussions.
What really surprised me last night was there supposedly better players keep kicking to the wings and flanks rather than taking the game on. They must have thought they had half a dozen Craig Bradleys on their team last night
and decided hugging the boundary line was the way to go
They should have been direct right from the start of the 3rd quarter.
This does no bode well for Worsfold
Now now mate. Make sure that you show some class and be nice to the Essendon supporters.
Actually, no, cancel that. Get stuck into the *!*!*!*!ers and take no guff from them at all!
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Bontempelli was talking about it a week or so back and only referenced Dunkley.
Hayden was there as well. There are photos of the three of them

Based on the last few years they'll actually avoid me like the plague. It's been a while since we've lost to the Bombers. Shame we haven't played them twice in a season for a while

I suggest you burst into work Gary singing "Oh what a beautiful morning oh what a beautiful day". That will catch their eye.

Fake sympathy always works well in my view. “Must have been hard”, “you guys did have a lot of injuries”, “just one of those nights”..etc, all the while with an inner smugness and the occasional: “I must say I was surprised that Worsfold didn’t try more moves” or: “I didn’t know Stringer was carrying an injury. What, you mean he isn’t...?”

In the boxing gym
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

Perfect analogy. That's exactly what it was like. Playing AFL Live 2005 and everything just happening all too easily

Re: WB Game Day v Essendon R21 2019
It would seem from the presser last night and some comments from Josh Dunkley on the Sunday Footy Show that the players were filthy for allowing those last three goals.
There's a killer mentality in the group.

At least the ball (almost) didn't hit the ground during the Hayes goal. I had to take a brief break from the game because I was so taken aback by how slick it was.

Oh that is perfect.
I was going to go with the "burst in singing" strategy but I really like this one

Re: WB Game Day v Essendon R21 2019
I'm watching the replay. What makes Dwayne bearable is after every goal he says how many in a row it is. He's shocked at 9 in a row. 12 more to go Dwayne! A fun thing to pay attention to if you're watching.
