Mike, Essendon are ****. It never mattered whether you were playing Adelaide in Melbourne or not.
We did play quite ****...

****ing Dempsey injured again. How can he be so ****ing injury prone? bloody frustrating.

We won't win another game this year with the injuries we have now. WTF is Magin playing for? Even i have bigger arms than that kid.

You've probably got an All-Australian ruckmen in your team, but couldn't win a single clearance. When Peverill is your best midfielder there's an issue.

And Nick Gill kicked 5, and absolutely dominated. Nick ****in Gill.

Peveril is not our best midfielder...

Gill is **** but Adelaide really don't have any other forward options atm so he was always going to get the ball directed to him. These games really mean **** all now, subconsciously the guys know our season is over. We haven't played anywhere near the standard we were a month ago. I guess once we get to pre-season, hopefully we can address this ****load amount of injuries we have and fix the problem. Then with anything like a decent injury run we can gie the finals a crack.

BTW Jono your in no position to be dishing out **** after Richmond's insipid showing last week.

Obviously, but I didn't come in here claiming that there was no chance Adelaide would beat us did I?

And atm, as the commentators were saying, Peverill has been your best midfielder over the last 3-4 weeks. That's actually not good for the Essendon Football Club, no matter how good he's playing. You want Stanton, Watson, Lonergan, Lovett etc. to be standing up about now.

And you actually pay attention to what Shaw and the like have to say? He is a disgrace. Watson, Stanton and Lonergan have all had good years and Peveril won't be at the club next year. We are on the right track annd will be successful in years to come.

BL v WB a hard one to tip, the Dogs have been pretty crap the last couple of games, and Brisbane need to win to stay in touch
Damn it, should have listened to myself

The Brisbane win wasn't great for us. Bloody Dogs. Caught a bit of the Geelong game, Sydney never stood a chance. Compared to all the dominant sides in the recent past, Essendon, Brisbane, WC they don't really have as much flair or brilliance for lack of a better word but they're just so complete and efficient.

I actually don't think Gill is that bad. He's lacking in skills but he's a good mark and works hard. Not the first game he's had a big impact in because of that, he dominated someone last year, Brisbane I think. His kicking has improved a lot too, which is something. He's a better option than anyone else we have up forward at the moment anyway.

What a great win by the Lions last night- full of character!

Hopefully we only need to roll Carlton to make the playoffs.

Lack of height really costing us atm, should have made the most of a couple of opportunities in the first quarter as well when we were owning North. Defence also falling to pieces after doing so well in the first. Cloke's mark was awesome, though.
