Have We Gone Past Essendon

Post: # 1942757Post Vortex »

1 goes past us and we go past 1.

Did everyone overrate the Bombers because they made the finals in a Covid Cup year?

One team was playing Geelong and one team was playing garbage.

Essendon will spank us
Run us off our feet and that tw@t forward of theirs (out injured name escapes me) will kick his regular lazy 4/5 against us while Parish gets 43 and 15 clearances
Laugh at Essendon (o hate them) but that midfield well ahead of ours… we are praying Zac Jones is our “run n carry answer” **** joke

Did we over rate ourselves because we just beat bombers in community cup game

Have we got too many threads?

Should there be a limit to how many new threads you can start when essentially you're talking about the same thing?

In line with my question and having regard to being consistent with my values...I didn't start a NEW topic :mrgreen: :wink:

Nope. Not even close. They had as bad a day as we had night before.

But I’ll take their kids over ours any day. Our team would look a hell of a lot better with Draper for a start.

And despite being GronkGrub of the highest order - Stringer is a genuine match winning mid/fwd. Finally, that Crouch over Caldwell thing might come bite us on the arse. I like Brad, but he’s just a better version of Seb Ross - give him 3 year and he’s done. Caldwell has way more upside.

Yeah upon reflection I think you are right.

Our midfield is bottom four.

Interesting. Here’s a question fo you:- who do you consider to be the 3 midfields below us (judged on balance, dynamics, talent)?

I’d say perhaps only WCE are below us. Maybe North (but they’ll rise quickly)

As good as Steele is I think his one small weakness is plaguing the culture of the team, his shyness and reserved quiet and nice nature. Cuddles and Steele are just way too nice and I think we are viewed as a nice team to play.
