    1. We've got no one else who can carry the team when Bont has an off night.
    2. I have lost faith in Luke Beveridge.
    3. Essendon supporters can be insufferable.

    Bonus entry: Result aside, I've missed being at the football.

    1. English is easily outmuscled in ruck contests.
    2. Naughton seems to spend the game counting his contract cash.
    3. The goalkicking coaching did not work tonight.

    1. Darcy continues to impress

    2. I don't watch much Foxtel, so I was surprised to see that Dermott Brereton is both still alive and still on the air.

    3. I have not seen Essendon this year, so I was surprised to see that their major sponsor is the leader of the federal opposition.
    The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.

    1. I wanted to believe that we were a good side but we are not.

    2. We have no one to fly the flag. Harmes in the first round and Libba today. That says a lot about the team.

    3. If we get offered 2 first rounders for English then take it. Tim aint winning us big games.

    1. English looked disinterested tonight. First time I’ve thought that.

    2. Gee l thought being owned by one Scott brother was bad… now I’ve learnt we are owned by both

    3. I hoped we were a top 6 side… I’ve learnt tonight we are a top ten side at best.

    1. Tim English was a liability tonight.
    2. The umpiring was very ordinary.
    3. We still have the same deficiencies that we've had for years.

    1. Naughton is over rated.
    2. English is over rated.
    3. There's a massive abyss in both effort and talent after Bont and Libba.

    Agree with 1 & 2.

    On point 3 right now I?d accept one decent first round pick. I I?m not sure other clubs would offer 2 first rounders after Tim?s lacklustre performance tonight.

    1. Beveridge has lost this team. Dropping Macrae, Daniel and Dale as sub looks to have sent ripples of un rest through the team.

    2. English needs to sign on or let the club know he's leaving because the indecision is clearly effecting his football.

    3. The umpires tonight were the worst I've seen for a while. I had to shut my mouth at the game because I started to sound stupid complaining so much. And that was only the first qtr
    They've done studies you know, 60% of the time, it works every time!

    1. We?d fooled the non bulldogs footy world with a close game last week which was only due to the shoulder of 2 giants

    2. Watching our slick end to end transition in the forward line for no goals was infuriating

    3. We were outcoached again but this time beaten by a VFL side
