Essendon fans doing it tough - blame result on luck/umpires

[🏅Dooks]

Some absolute gems online and tantrums thrown last night.

I present the following gifts:-

Really upset, more upset than after the losses to saints and dees. More upset than after that terrible first half against the dogs early in the season.

Richmond were lucky. Ball bounced to their advantage all night. All their tackles stuck and they always got a free as reward.

Honestly, I thought Richmond were poor. We were all over them for most the match. Pathetic umpiring didn't help at all. I love how they can pay a free kick to Richmond for a high tackle, yet when we cop a high tackle it's play on? (Sarcasm).

 I hate the AFL and I am getting pretty fed up with my once beloved bombers. We members deserve more after two years of hell and what, 12 years of mediocrity.

Bless their cotton socks.

How was the umpiring in the first quarter and a half.

Jake Carlisle was that a mark?
Goddard free kick?
We were getting called on everything, essendon does the same play on.

Houli's 100 should have been a 150 given Carlisle and Melksham where carrying on like two drunks at a bar who were told drinks service is now closed for them. Spare me.

How Gordon didn't get a 50 when Dempsey flattened him was beyond me.

If Jobe Watson was in Gordo's shoes at 3 qt time I bet you that goal would have stood.

Sorry didn't hear the siren fellas.

Tell them to go and get fornicated down Puckle St with their poodles.

Thats pure classic.

l like the bit about l take Heppell before Fyfe 

Fact is the younger Heppell is a much better footballer than his brother

[TigerMonk]

Thanks Dooks that was some classical reading by the bombers sooks bar one who said we played good footy. The whole football community is talking how good the game was overall & after watching Eddie on Fox footy last night l reckon he was backing the Tige's 

[The Big Richo]

Yeah, Richmond fans on here never sook about the umpires.

[Hellenic Tiger]

Winners are grinners and Essendon and their fans can go and get fornicated.

Music to my ears

ahh love it

Miles is a hack who had a breakout game and will end up like Dean Polo.

These guys are on the same stuff Dank had the Bombers on.

All their tackles stuck

That's nothing to do with luck

Yes, check Heppell's goal in the last, three tackles on Essendon players where the ball spills and falls to an Essendon player, Zaharakis, Melksham, Heppell who ends up kicking the goal it was as if they were sharing it round. We did everything right defensively but still concede the goal. Yeah what rotten luck Bombres.

"All their tackles stuck and they always got a free as reward"

Um..ok..yep they did, 20 more times than your lot clown..

Tackle count was 70-50...

Let's hope the club reconsiders its decision and Hird is back in the box in Round 23 and has the boys play with a bit of heart.

I thought it was one of the few games the umpires got right, they paid what was there and didn't go too stupid.  It was a tight game.   I think, if anything, the bummers were stuffing lucky with the amount of rugby throws they got away with to be honest.  If they were paid, as they should be, we would of won by another 5 goals.
