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

For crying out friggin loud, how hard is it to lower the eyes going forward ?
Allowing Fletcher not to engage in a contest is unforgiveable.

Frustrating loss. Got to be smarter, bombing to our forward 50 outnumbered just isn't going to work. Not sure how we could allow a lose one to stay there.

Good effort apart from some smaller lapses this week. We did just drop a winnable game so it's nothing to feel good about.

Williams was apparently on the guy who took 10 uncontested marks in our forward 50 in the last qtr.

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.

One on ones not 2 or 3 on 1's.

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.

Bomb it in?? Who said that? Get it in quick to one on ones I heard.

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

He said get it in quick and long according to King, we struggle as it is with no big marking forwards and he put Talia and johannison down there???
Put Minson down there.. At least one tall !!
Then johannison goes up for marks when we already had one up.
I'm fair dinkum peed off with Maccas forward line set up... Put Backmen there ????

Move it quickly and kick it away from the guy who's been getting easy kicks across half back his entire career!

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

Similar to last week, we had great pressure in the forward line for the first quarter and then little for the remainder of the game.
Positive was we kept at it if this was last season we would have lost by 60 plus, negatives are some baffling player and coaching decisions.

Sadly he's the only guy we could hit on the chest in our forward 50.

On the train going home and fuming we lost this. Bad third quarter really was the difference in the end.

Might have been ok if Big Wil was down there or we played Campbell this week.

One of the positives was that the lapses weren't as long as previous weeks. If that can be a positive.

Good luck on the train.
