Need to have a look at our forward set up.

I don't think I've seen a team in living memory who have less a clue than us in how to use the ball going inside our forward line. We are seriously the most frustrating team to watch.

Yeah but if we win the contested ball the goals will take care of themselves - pffttt

I think it's absolutely disgraceful from our players that we allowed them to chip it around for a minute just now. Leadership is severely lacking at our football club. It's non-existent sometimes.

Watson can just throw the ball away one handed ????

Down by 2 goals with 2 minutes left and we have a spare man in defence. Give me strength

Agree. Happened last week also.

Boyd, Griffen, Cooney, Crameri - all senior players - all extremely disappointing.

This loss hurts, didn't just shoot ourselves in the foot but took a bazooka to the bloody thing

I'm a Macca fan but tonight he lost this game.
He took any chance we had out with two decisions , told them to bomb it into forward line and takes out any sort of forwards out and put Talia and johannison down there .. That made no sense whatsoever, made me sick actually to see it.

Re: 2014 Game Day Round 7 - Essendon V Western Bulldogs

What I'm looking for from our players is to improve at the little things.

Do not allow Fletcher to sit by himself across half back. Do not allow five metres with only a few minutes to go so the opposition which is eight points up can waste a quarter of the time that is left on the clock.

This isn't a coaching issue. This is a player issue. They're letting themselves down desperately with these issues on a weekly basis.

The sooner they can learn to concentrate and work hard consistently the better. We may just win a game or two.

Bombing it wasn't the call. It was get it in there quickly to one on ones. There's a very very big difference.

The only thing we consistently do is play inconsistently

Ben Graham was on the bench mich'd up. The message was given to Jack Mac to get out there and tell the players to get it in quickly to one on ones.
