ESSENDON VENT SESSION: this is a safe space, let it all out

I don’t know if I’ve been this flat since Bulldogs kicked 21 straight against us, Ridley re-injured his quad, Perko hammy, Nick Hind. It’s diabolical

No comment needed

McKay, Merrett, Martin, Gresham & Jones is all that gets a pass mark

Livid. Somehow Dodoro is still there. Nothing will ever change at Essendon.

I’m not even surprised or needing to rant at this point. This IS Essendon.

We need you back herb. Please more videos

Port cut us up with short sharp kicks. Our mids can’t kick. Float balls above heads of small targets or kick around their bodies constantly. Need to be ruthless with selection now. Stand for something. Don’t perform get dropped. Would rather play kids than the list cloggers

I'm also getting really tired of Martin playing like a washed-up Aaron Hall during his North Melbourne days. Just floating around getting cheap handball receives, sideways marks, and then doing nothing with it.

I don't understand how we just keep repeating this cycle with different players every few years. No doubt there's talent in there, but as usual we're miles off any kind of watchable football bar the odd game or two a year. At what point do we actually get good?
