Round 14 discussion

[Topdog]

Hopefully this knocks some sense into those thinking that bringing in rookie coaches that are ex players is the only way forward. Embarrassing stuff from Essendon. Injuries can no longer be an excuse.

[ledge]

Actually loving it , 40,000 Essendon suppporters disappeared off the face of the earth in 3 weeks.
Quite obvious who is coaching they interview Thompson every half time break and every time they show Hird he is sitting there not doing a thing.

A few weeks ago I was bagged cos I thought Essendon was overrated.

[ledge]

I over rated them, someone said they werent fit enough to live in a pig sty and i said they were.

You actually go through there list, especially in the midfield & there isn't many A graders amongst them.

They smashed us.

[LostDoggy]

They smashed us.

How many have we got?

[Remi Moses]

Pretty predictable I would have thought. Ran out of gas,got a few wins when not expected with an average list and now getting found out!
Bring Back Knighta
Interesting Hawks have had a mini clean out replaced the Likes of Young,Ellis and Ladson with the likes of Poppy, Shiels,Savage Lisle probably another couple I've missed. Something I hope our club have looked at.

[Sedat]

Our timing stinks. Essendon were always going to be up and about early in the season and they have unsuprisingly hit a brick wall.

Some credit should go to their opponents last night, who have been crippled by key injures but still ragdolled a mid-table opponent.

The demise of the Bombers, combined with the away form of the Purple and White marshmellows, has really opened up the race for the finals. It promises to be as open as it has been for many seasons.

For finals yes it will, but actual premiership,Apart from 4 clubs the other 4 will only be in it for show.

You have to be in it to win it, who knows with our side getting the job done in the back 1/2 of the season we could be a real boggy side come September

Next week will be a big test for us ... the last two wins have given us some much need confidence, if this form improvement continues and we knock off Melbourne (who themselves have had two good wins in the past two weeks) then the world is our oyster.

As I posted before, our last three Prelims, we have lost the first match putting us back in the pack. This year finishing 5th/6th/7th/8th will be no difference for us ... as you say, you gotta be in it to win it.

The Swans are a value for money side aren't they?

Watching a bit of that game tonight I soon appreciated how far off the pace we are

I've enjoyed the last two wins, and Im hoping we can knock over the dees, but our game style, defensive work has so much room for improvement
