Stringer should've been dragged for his. fter he kicked it to no one, Merrett was still on his own. Essendon has a lot of selfish individuals, and I don't care if Stringer goes elsewhere.

ive said this for weeks having watched all season.
You can blame the kicking - but the bombers presentation and delivery inside 50 is just appaling..I can't believe the amount of poor leads and decision making that comes from these players.

barrass being 4th worst but being worth 2 first

As an Essendon supporter that has had to watch this crap all year (and the past 20 yrs lol), it has been utterly infuriating thing to see everyone in the back six be defensive liabilities. McGrath not bad when he bothers to defend, but he has games where he refuses to anyway. Hard watch, and Scott thinks they’re doing a ‘good’ job. Sheesh

Once Mac Andrew was able to jump at that ball I don’t think there is a single player in the game getting a fist on that!

[kokmuncher]

Ben McKay is the most over payed player in the comp

[SkandiaAUS]

McKay had a shocker against Sydney last night. He reminded me of myself playing footy. Missed almost every hand ball and turned that ball over like a hot potato.

[jj]

Cheers for giving us Massimo, what on earth were they thinking?

[Sbock]

Mac Andrew one is flat out embarrassing. There is like 4 of you that can make a contest, it's like a basic skill that you learn playing markings up in a schoolyard. Put a fist on the ball. Surely these guys aren't earning hundreds of thousands of dollars a year and can't even perform a basic skill.

[darcyricho]

Hayden McLean has been huge for us and quite underrated but the media seem to not notice him

[shakkthikannan]

Get those current AFL defenders and replace them with the hungry VFL players.

[chriscoyne]

Ben McKay left for the bomber's thinking he was going to play finals footy 🤣🤣. If he stayed at north for another 2 year's he would be playing finals footy 🤣🤦

[blade]

Jake Kelly is so good hahaha bombers fans thought they were getting a good defender when he jumped to Essendon from the Crom lol

[johnbb]

2:20 Harry Jones has to make that instead of putting a fist in

[koop]

It's hilarious how Norths backline has become 1000 times better without Mackay

[portray_stories]

Now do one with all defenders between the 30-35% loss rate...while our defenders struggle, Jimmy has cherry picked this data to be sensationalist. Do better mate.

[MrWhitmen]

The lack of technical positioning ability, the sport really is just a bunch of athletes running around. 😂

[Ozziemick]

My team Essendon The Easybeats. Not the bombers anymore. All players and staff at the club failed. ALL!

[surfrescue]

Loving it. Brad Scott was acting like he'd landed the coup of the decade getting Ess fans and Lloyd were lapping it up. Sucked in!

[NickNesci]

This football club is a joke they dish up the same crap every year. Who ever decided to let go of Massimo should be sacked and he won’t be the last opting out. We pay McKay a fortune and he gets belted every week, Peter wright is a dud who won’t compete and shows very little effort on the ground he needs to go. Jake Kelly and Laverde are just as useless watched them all year and when the ball comes they are like a dear in the headlights need to go as they constantly butcher the ball.GRESHAM NEEDS TO GO BACK TO STKILDA and Langford needs to harden up and break the packs and be more consistent or trade him.Draper needs to stop show boating and learn to play football and learn how to kick. Stringer needs to do what he does best consistently and Cox needs to be traded.Put some hardness into the team and learn how to kick get rid of the duds and we might have a chance.Plenty of young talent just need guidance and discipline but when you play with spuds this is the result.
