When Scum was still two goals up, they opened a bottle of Bollinger complete with flutes and started singing the Scum song.F111 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 07, 2024 9:54 pmA great win in the mud. ND made the point that being in front with a heavy ball was the place to be. Saddens me though as ND was captain in 82 but his knee injuries essentially stifled his brilliance.
Pitfatzrick was always a smug scum and it showed for many years.
Of course the rest is history with Glen Hawker and Neil stealing the game from right under their noses. When I turned to commiserate with them, they had vanished!!!
The only evidence that they had been there was the half bottle of Bolly which had been thrown to the ground. I pounced on it and finished it off.
Cannot recall a drink tasting so good!!!!

Forecast is moist, slippery and cold. Not windy though. Bonus.
Re: Essendon v Scum
Moist is a word that a lot of people find offensive.
I don't know why.

Thought I heard Mrs Cohen mention something about "That's all they ever talk about!"But it might started with S,......
Re: Essendon v Scum
Scum are clear favourites ~ 70/30 split...unless you read the Essendon tipping site where that's reversed
I prefer being the underdog!

Re: Essendon v Scum
Just who the f*** is our forward coach?
Nobody is leading straight in front.
Marks/leads are to the boundary again
Even then, our goal kicking is f****** woeful.
Also - missing Reddog big time.

Re: Essendon v Scum
Two weeks running we make a shithouse opposition small forward look good.
Hollands has only kicked 2 goal max three times previously. Tonight he is on 3 goals a few minutes into the 3rd quarter.

Re: Essendon v Scum
Two weeks in a row that the exact same two things have cost us...terrible kicking into the forward 50 and terrible kicking for goal. Who the hell is the forward coach??
Re: Essendon v Scum
According to the website ... it is Dale Tapping. But I thought he stepped down to deal with illness...billyduckworth wrote: ↑Sun Jun 09, 2024 10:05 pm Two weeks in a row that the exact same two things have cost us...terrible kicking into the forward 50 and terrible kicking for goal.

Re: Essendon v Scum
Apart from crappy forward play, we just played a lot of dumb footy all over the ground.
We were sloppy.
Can someone explain why we can't mark the ball?
Leave Martin in the forward line. The bavkline experiment must end. He gave us a spark in the 3rd qtr.
We look a bit tires and we miss Parish, Draper and Redman.
The biased draw with byes is just straight out corrupt. How can some teams have two byes at this stage of the season snd we've only now getting bye?

Re: Essendon v Scum
Goldstein was too slow. De Koning will get the 3 Brownlow votes.
Not only did he negate Goldstein (who couldn't deliver to our mids), he did a lot of clearance work himself.
Why we didn't run two rucks with Goldy and Bryan (for around the ground) is beyond me.
Our goalkicking is abysmal ... though when our top goal kickers today are Martin and Geulfi ... we have problems.
Wright has kicked one goal in the past 3 weeks
Langford has kicked no goals in the past 2 weeks
Gresham has kicked 1 in the past 3 games, and only 2 in the past 7.
Time for Caddy.
To put it another way...
We had:
* 20 more inside 50s (60 to 40)
* 4 more scoring shots (25 to 21)
* 4 more marks inside 50 (14 to 10)
* 22 more tackles (79 to 57)
* 9 more frees (24 to 15 ... though crap frees/50s in the first 5 minutes gifted them 3 goals).. and
* 33 more disposals (363 to 330 though it was 57 more handballs and 24 fewer kicks which is an issue)...
And we still lost badly.
