If Essendon miss the 8, should Hird be sacked?
-
nah, they've got a winning culture that we could only aspire to
-
all stitched up till 2014
happy days for bumbers. :thumbsup
-
When was the last time a side started the year winning 8 of their first 9 games and then missed the finals? Right now the Dons look cooked!
'Golden boy' Hird is a protected species though so Bomber supporters and the media will go soft on him.
Bomberblitz is in meltdown though :lol
Just got home from the dome. Worst performance since Sheedy left. It was utterly disgusting and embarrassing. What made it worse was watching Cyril put on a master class of deliciousness to remind us how poor the decision was to take Myers.
We are not good enough, no midfield, no defensive skills, poor disposal, not fit enough not strong enough. I think it's safe to say our list is ordinary very very ordinary. Even with a new coaching panel, bigger football spend new fitness weapon, it lOoks like we have gone nowhere since Knights. You cant make a silk purse from a sows ear. We've polished the turd and it's still a turd. TRB have to trade some talls to get some mids. I really hope im wrong but I think we need to bottom out and start again
The last time I left game as early as I left tonight was the 1983 grand final and even then I lasted until after 3 quarter time. Tonight was spineless and insipid. Guys (yes you Jetta) looking at scoreboard replays when free kicks were given against them while their opponents played on; Monfries sulking after missing a goal while his opponent runs into space and receives the kick out; Hille looking at his man instead of the ball; Heppell doing dinky up and down kicks instead of spearing it. Injuries are no excuse for lack of commitment and basic footy smarts. WTF!!!
At the moment we are no better than under Knights in terms of defensive effort and basic set up in the centre square. We've been out-coached more times than not starting with the Sydney game. Good chance we will miss the 8.
Biggest problem of the night though was Hird's coaching. He has learnt nothing from last year's game against the Hawks. You simply do not push players spare between the HB line and centre and let the Hawks have a loose man from down back when they have the ball in their hands from a mark/free kick - they kill you with their footskills as they did all night. Yet Hird refused to deviate from a failed game plan right to the end. I think it was after the Monfries easy miss in the last I count 7-8 marks back & forth after the and then up the ground after the kick-out that ended with Roughead for a mark at 45m and goal. That play summed up the night.

They need the Midas 10 point service check also.
Apparently their missiles have been pointing in the wrong direction also.
-
Hird oops I mean Bomber Thompson won't be sacked.
It will be an open admittance that the war machine has failed and that the soldiers are not cracked up to what they should be.
For now they will still sell dreams to the masses.

Bump
Essendon in the 8 on percentage alone tonight with Freo convincing winners over West Coast.
If essendon lose tomorrow to Adel by around 36pts or more they will be out of the eight. :veryhappy
Final games against North, Carlton, us and Collingwood.
Freo play Adel, us, North and Melb
-
It would be sweet if we end their finals chances :pray :yep
Freo and North are flying home and should both kick the Bombers out and down to ninth :lol.

The Veruca Salts lose again :lol.
Bomberblitz has turned on "the weapon" are another two soft tissue injuries. The media bags us for our narrow losses but surely a club that wins 8 of their first 9 games and then misses the finals are the No.1 chokers in the comp. :yep
This from BB tonight:
you have got to be kidding this is the worst essendon team they are all stupid and are have no fear of losing for stuff sake smash someone show spirit thats the problem with accepting loses u become a loser and thats essendon a losers team

LOL is that Hirdy at the botton of the pic swimming for his life
-
:lol
Either Hird or the 'Weapon' since the veruca supporters have hit his eject lever.

Stuff them.
I hope they draw with Carlton next week.
No scum club wins.
Then we put them out of their misery the week after. :thumbsup
-

if we beat Freo next week the door will really open up for the winner of that game to make the 8.
If the blues win next week and we win i fear it will be them making the 8, especially with GC to come.
The question i ask is do we really want either of those 2 idiots to make the 8.

No we don't and that leaves either St Kilda with Geelong GWS and Calscum to come making it ahead of us or Freo. Quite a conundrum. We only have ourselves to blame with three horror results in July. It was ours for the taking.
-
We need to tank against Freo
-
THE NEXT SUPERWEAPON - PROUDLY MANUFACTURED AND PRODUCED BY THE ESSENDON FC.
INTRODUCING - THE WAR MACHINE: THE GREATEST WEAPON EVER INVENTED. EVEN THE AMERICANS ARE JEALOUS!

-
Essendon got the 'Weapon' in to supposedly give them superior fitness yet they were outrun by a North side with just one player left on the bench :wallywink :rollin.
-
Essendon can have any coach they like but the facts are their midfield is still turgid.
-
But what about Milkshakes, Wantfrees & Shortsteppell? :'(
-
We need to tank against Freo
we tanked though the middle stages of the season :shh
-
All this talk of them getting their pre season wrong..no talk of them having an easy draw in the first half of the year.
The media darlings were massively overrated.

Too funny
-
That "weapon" guy, earlier in the season hailed as the reason behind Essendon's fitness is now being flogged by Bumbers supporters.
He will take to fall for the Golden Boys Hird/Thompson this year.
-
Long live the Essen Don bowls club 8)
-
Games gone past dusty :whistle
-
Bombers midfield getting absolutely smashed as expected.
-
No finals for the Bombers after winning 8 of their first 9 games :wallywink :rollin
Games gone past dusty :whistle
Significant soft tissue injuries end careers for 30+ year olds these days. We saw that with Richo - 2nd in the Brownlow in 2008 and 6 weeks into the following year it was career over. Fletcher has done a groin injury so father time may have finally caught up with him.
Another victim of the 'weapon' :whistle
-
Hirdy should not be sacked he is the saviour remember.
In three years time the bums need to look at this regardless of the results. :thumbsup
-
who cares that the blues won, its just an absolute pleasure watching this pathetic football club slide out of the 8.
nothing makes me more happier.
Bomber/Hird hahahaha
-
Bomberblitz in meltdown :rollin
http://www.bomberblitz.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=65613&st=255
What do you expect from over-rated gutless players who don't play for the team, the fans just the cash.
Give them something to play for and they fall apart, they are soft, soft, soft.
Don't they want to succeed.
Bring on Trade week and pee off a lot of these handbaggers
-
Bomberblitz will go into melt down after that flogging :lol
-
Mark Maclure on ABC radio stirring the pot by saying Essendon has got worse under Hird. "At least under Knights they made the finals a couple of times".

Exactly ;D
-
I watched that second qtr. They are a complete rabble. Smashed out of the centre and giving away dumb frees and then 50m for back-chatting the umps. A one stage Carlton had kicked 3 goals in a row from just 5 kicks lol. Eventually that all has to come back to the senior coach and coaching staff especially in Essendon's case given the $$$ being spent on their coaches.
-
hahahaha
I loved one of the comments on Bomberblitz.
"Did we win? My TV blew up with all the skata going on in it". :lol :rollin :lol

Days like today it's hard to buy into the clubs grand plans.
All you can do is have faith. As EFC supporters we are not patient, 15 years is too long to wait for a flag, we are not Richmond or Melbourne.

There are just sometimes when I have to agree with a Carlton person. This is one of those times. Essendon are a complete rabble. No FINALS. No TEAM. No WAR MACHINE. Just complete utter crap from a mongrel club.

And just to add:-
I hate to say this but I wish we took Dimma all of those years ago who wanted to clean out the list. We have has to endure 4 or 5 years of up and down crap only to realise that our list is nowhere near where it should be....
Some big post season decisions to be made I feel.
And
and who"s gonna cover carlisle and fletch for us next week??
Pears. Dear God we are in big trouble. Cue Riewoldt to kick 10.

You have to go back to 1971 to last find a side (Melbourne) that missed the finals after starting a season 8-1. The Dees finished with 11 wins and a draw so Essendon is worse ;D.

Golden Boy and Bomba have no answers?
It's called karma - never stab a Tiger in the back and not finish the job
Hope you fail again next year

I think Thompson actually believes

personally the players have made the Cats
what they are, he just went for the ride.
bummers been sold a patsy. :lol
-
There's some irony in that Bombers' father-son Joe Daniher looks to be a gun KPP but because they'll need to use their first rounder to grab him the Bombers will likely miss out on the chance to draft a quality young A-grade midfielder they actually need. They have a few quality talls but their midfield is crap and inconsistent aside from Watson. Long may that stay that way and they keep finishing mid-ladder - not good enough to become a contender but not bad enough to improve their list.

Essendon-the new Melbourne

Come out all fired up for 10 minutes then cave. The sign of a bottom 4 side.

I hope Hird is so stubborn he keeps going down the same path and makes his players too big!
Big & Fast is not a sustainable shape for a AFL footballer - given the pace of the game

Well according to Ch 7 news tonight, Dean 'the Weapon' Robinson has been sacked by the Bombers.
