Re: 2019 AFL Finals Series
I think the debate as to whether the pre-finals week off drags on too long has been settled.

Re: 2019 AFL Finals Series
Geez Essendon are getting exposed here. Five minutes into the second and they have given up.
Jakey's having a blinder too...
-
Re: 2019 AFL Finals Series
It is 5,480 days without winning a final for Essendon. Best case add 365 more days before winning a final. That's 5,845 days.
Big club... 'Deserve' Good Friday Ove us... Players want to be traded there... All while not having a salary cap...
I hope you don't regret the next three years AMT.

I struggle to square the 2015 Stringer against the 2019 Stringer.

Re: 2019 AFL Finals Series
Oh Jake, not your best effort.
Commentators still pumping him up though, which is good to hear.

Re: 2019 AFL Finals Series
Jakey + sharting the bed in a final.
Name a more iconic duo.
I'll wait.

Poor Brian Taylor can't get off the Stringer shit show now after years of jumping up half hearted efforts. I wonder if he has regrets now...

It's actually at perversion levels now. The myth's well and truly busted, but he just can't stop himself from getting up him.

With some of his efforts tonight I'm glad he signed again with Essendon.
I'm glad they payed big for Shiel too. He's a shittruck.

Might have to do with them doing a fair few sportsmanship nights ($$$) together. Surely no fans in neutral team land is buying it anymore. Maybe?

Would be nice if them signing Shiel, which stopped them from getting Martin last year delivers Martin to us. May need to send Dodo a fruit basket to say thanks (all fruit infected with fruit fly).

Taylor was going on about what a great year Stringer has had and in the next breath says "his tummy is sticking out of the bottom of his jumper.
So which is it? The ripped B&F winning superstar or roly poly Jakey?

I'd be happy to deliver the fruit to Dodo personally. Thrown one piece at a time at pace. And the more rotten the better.

Re: 2019 AFL Finals Series
Stringer getting some cheapies to try to hide his lack of effort. Nice try Jake.

Re: 2019 AFL Finals Series
I knew they wouldn't risk taking their eyes off the real prize which is the national trade week championship, which is still a few weeks away yet, by concentrating on this Mickey Mouse finals rubbish.

Remembering their prize pick 11 from this smashing tonight is going to GWS for Shiel...

He's had a fantastic year apparently. such a fantastic year. Here's his comparison with Sam Lloyd, who's had less tackles than Jake but hasn't managed midfield minutes, which Jake has to earn his 12 touches a game average.

So fantastic.

Lloyd needs a 'cool' nickname. Maybe the hard worker-er? The effort-nator?

So fantastic.
Jake Stringer Name Sam Lloyd
Essendon Bombers Team Western Bulldogs
Forward Position Midfield/Forward
How is Jake just a forward and LLoyd is a midfielder/forward? Lloyd has spent about as much time playing in our midfield this year as I have.
-
Re: 2019 AFL Finals Series
Nauseating hearing the commentary panel doing contortions to put lipstick on the turd that has been the Bombers' season. WHY?
They staggered arse first into September then embarrassed themselves in their only final and the coach is on death row.
Carey "Yeah, I'd give them a tick".
FMD.

They have a lot of pain ahead and no stomach to do the overhaul to maybe win a final anytime within 20 years since the last one.
So good news.

Re: 2019 AFL Finals Series
Only negative tonight is Woosha likely to get sacked and they might get a half-decent coach now.

Is there a coach trade week they could win too? Winning both player and coach trade weeks would be amazing. Totes amazing.
While the best coaches have already been hired or re-signed.

Re: 2019 AFL Finals Series
What did NicNat just say to Worsfold as they were walking off? Woosher walked up to him to shake his and and Nick said something, turned his back and pointed to his shoulder. Worsfold just sort of snarled and walked away.
Maybe it was "If you ever send a dickhead like Belchambers out to snipe me like that again I will take it out on you"

over the past 50 years in finals, only Kevin Sheedy has coached us to a win (23 Wins & 20 Losses). Every other coach has tried 7 times (Make that 8 after tonight?) and lost them all

I always knew it but far out Essington fans are delusional. They are convinced that Stringer played shit tonight because they rushed him back before he'd recovered from his injury. No, he was shit tonight because he appears to be eating lard straight from the tub...

He looked like a bit of a fat shit by AFL standards didn't he.
Jumpers these days are pretty tough on players, but it was noticeable with Jake after a couple of weeks off after apparently one of the most fantastic seasons ever (I can't believe he didn't make the AA Squad at least after 1.8 goals a game at 12.1 disposals whilst rotating through the midfield).
It's been a great night for sport in Australia tonight. WCE didn't look immediately convincing whilst pantsing Essendon, and Steve Smith puts together a great innings with support from our mediocre captain who had a well welcomed dash of form to make us super competitive in the cricket.
