I hate losing games on iffy free kicks but it seems to be happening a lot to Essendon
Yeah the umpiring sucks. Not as bad as last week, but still.

But Walla doesn't pass off to Smack and takes the set shot and kicks the goal, and with that momentum, it's pretty much game over. We burned ourselves in the forward line.

Nope I've got you covered. Again.

1,864.

Should have just deleted the team earlier when it was clear that not having any of the top 4-5 scorers as starters and then a rash of injuries and under performing premos meant no upgrades early to mid season.

I've learned my lesson though - never entering any sort of competition on here again and will just wallow in abject mediocrity out of sight, if I actually can be bothered starting another team next year.
I might join you actually, haven't felt like this in a long time.
5 good weeks of improvement makes no difference when all it takes is 1 week of random out-of-the-blue sucker punch to knock you in the face.

Trying hard to enjoy SC this season like what Thanh mentioned but...

1,860 btw

Mate, why did we also not smash the ball through the points when under so much pressure?! Could've then at least maintained the ball...

Chin up mate , 1853 here

you should have joined me and @Ironhawk head-to-head game a few weeks ago

as frustrating as it it (and believe me I know) just have a bit of fun with your side for the final 8 weeks , try a few different players.

I have learnt not to compare my score to all the guns on here , and just try and improve a little each week

I was robbed.

Played you in Backburners and that late Saad goal got you within a point of me and then scaling got you 1 point in front.
I saw that. Sorry mate. A lot of my H2H matches were close and a few were decided by that goal.

Edit: Won games by - 15, 10, 2, 1 points. A couple of others won or lost by 20 odd.

You just answered your own question.

Oh, and Callan Ward.

I agree, we were pretty poor, but not that poor. I know I look like a one eyed twat blue in the face right now but I'm happy to own it this once :ROFLMAO:
Funny I didn't see any umpires kick a goal.

Undisciplined play by McKenna gives Shaw a 50m and goal......blame the umpire , yeah right.

Maybe players skill errors eg McGrath handball gets intercepted results in a turnover

Shiel deliberate hand ball out of bounds = goal for Cameron

etc etc

Anyway

Letter of the law , Ward got hit high , yep he milked it for all it's worth , still got taken high

Fair enough

Must have watched a different game.

And the 50 against McKenna ?

Shiels deliberate ?

Anyway buy the paper tomorrow and the result will be in it.
