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.
watching them live at the ground on Friday night it was very obvious, as a Swans fan i was tempted to yell out to the Bombers mids to stop bombing it long!
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
@Gorilla_warfare what he says in front of the cameras isn't what he really thinks. McGrath needs to be put in the forward line and told to make as many tackles as possible. Maybe then he can harden up!
@@makk0861 great effort, wouldn't call it tough. That is a great example of what he CAN do. However, it's not something he is known for. Tippa had everyone in fear of being chased down... not just his speed, but his hunger and ability to stick tackles. Honestly, I'd love to be proven wrong. I love this team as much as the next supporter.
@@slingblade8963 I just think in our frustration we can sometimes pick on the guys who aren't the problem. There's a fair few I'd point to before McGrath, but it'll take some time to phase some of them out. But if you think McGrath needs to give more then I respect that, we all just want to see us improve.
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.
I don't think Barrass is ACTUALLY fourth worst but there's also no way he's worth two first round picks. Then again, Ben McKay earns nearly a million bucks a season and he's a fkng spud in ¾ of games. I saw someone saying the other day that Barrass is in the same sort of company at the Eagles as Glenn Jakovic and Darren Glass and nearly choked on my drink!
@@slingblade8963 That's Dodoro's thinking, he's a gun at bad trades and he's talked up during draft period like he's the Godfather. The guys a dud and has been a dud for the past 20 years.
@@slingblade8963 The media has always talked about Dodoro and his hardline, taking it to the last minute approach. By everyone I meant media personalities most of whom are ex players, I didn't mean Joe Bloggs fan that pays $27 for a general admission ticket and sits in the nose bleed section eating a four and twenty pie and yells obscenities.
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.
Haven’t you noticed how often he gets easily beaten in marking contests, especially around the ground? He’s slow as a wet week and a one trick pony. If he doesn’t mark it, that’s it. He’s got nothing else …
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.
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.
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 🤣🤦
Agree with Lloydy about Swans big forwards. Amartey plays like a basketballer with very little physical presence, and McLean is as slow as a wet week and gets pushed under the ball too often and out marked often. McDonald is also very overrated. None of them crash packs or have any mongrel in them. Swans need some harder players across the field, especially big blokes (Tom McCartin being the exception. He should be Captain for mine) …
Ben mckay gets paid 1M per szn to give opposition players handballs 30 m from goal. 😂. Guy made worst decision of his life picking brad scott over Sam Mitchell you deserve Everything that comes your way. Terrible footballer.
@S10xxxx nah.. he's on 800k with a heavily front ended contract. Don't stress bout him, mate. He will be fine. How are you going? Centrelink still giving you grief on a fortnightly basis?
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.
Ben is only on this list as he has been forced to play a lone hand for the majority of the season without Reid & Ridley. Laverde tries hard but is too undersized & Cox and Kelly just don't seem good enough.

barrass being 4th worst but being worth 2 first rounders?????
Probably a result of the amount of ball coming in.
I don't think Barrass is ACTUALLY fourth worst but there's also no way he's worth two first round picks. Then again, Ben McKay earns nearly a million bucks a season and he's a fkng spud in ¾ of games.
I saw someone saying the other day that Barrass is in the same sort of company at the Eagles as Glenn Jakovic and Darren Glass and nearly choked on my drink!
Probably because he’s averaging 7 spoils and 4 intercept marks
@lockedout8643 it's a percentage. Amount of ball coming in is irrelevant
@@jaredburgess8381The ball comes into WCE’s d50 a lot more than Essendon’s so Barrass has more to defend
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!
Cheers for giving us Massimo, what on earth were they thinking?
@jj45455 he would have struggled to get a game this year. He was offered 1 year, but Hawks offered more.
Good luck to him, I say.

Would you be willing to take his spot for half the price?
Get those current AFL defenders and replace them with the hungry VFL players.
Hayden McLean has been huge for us and quite underrated but the media seem to not notice him
Haven’t you noticed how often he gets easily beaten in marking contests, especially around the ground? He’s slow as a wet week and a one trick pony. If he doesn’t mark it, that’s it. He’s got nothing else …
Poor Chom !!
Don’t tell nick butler
Who? @@noahdebruijn6374
It's hilarious how Norths backline has become 1000 times better without Mackay
2:20 Harry Jones has to make that instead of putting a fist in
Jake Kelly is so good hahaha bombers fans thought they were getting a good defender when he jumped to Essendon from the Crom lol

The lack of technical positioning ability, the sport really is just a bunch of athletes running around. 😂
Its why soccer players do so much better in the game, they can use the ball more.
There’s no offside mate. Makes it a very different prospect

Yeah was gonna say, if Tom Barrass is in there, then I don't rate it as a good stat, Tom is a great defender
