Essendon v North Melbourne

[Lance Uppercut]

heart attack stuff.

Bit like Round One in reverse. That game we had 2 on the bench all day and got run over the top of. Let's see how North's stamina goes

injuries will cost us the win, we were all over them in the first quarter when we had wells and adams

A shootout was expected and it hasn't disappointed. It's a crazy close game at the moment in all aspects.

 

[gPhonque]

absolute joke that decision, hansen should have gotten another goal.

Meh. You were lucky to get the ball out if the middle to begin with considering Bellchambers couldn't get within 10m of the umpire's awful center bounce that should have been recalled.

Goldstein tapped it from inside the centre circle. Bellchambers didn't run at it.

No one is denying Essendon's injuries.

I think the issue is having 2 less in rotation for 3 quarters, hence why people are suggesting it would be a great win if North can get up.

How is it two less rotations?

We have two on the bench, don't we? That is one less rotation.

Was it f##king what.

Hansen did everything right and got penalised for it.

I thought I saw a hand on the back.

This rule has been in place for ages now. If you use your forearms you are fine, use your hands and you are asking for trouble.

Goldstein received that ball in the centre circle.

For sure, If ADaams was still on we would be losing by 60+

Jobe Watson

 

[quin_stick]

The good 'ol "predict something happening so that the chances of getting it right are lowered" trick.

I like it.

I do that all the time, but with money. Has won Essendon many games this year

Yeah, because it bounced 1m high straight to Goldstein.

I like it.

It happens when you have multiple injuries in one game, I'm sure you know all about it this year.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Watson is peering inside our engine and just pulling parts out one by one.

Monstering our midfield. Gee Ziebell would be han-- [O BUT STANTON AND HOWLETT AND ALL THE THINGS WOULD BE REALLY HANDY TOO]

they didn't cost us the win in round one when we had two go down

 

[Joker91]

Just switched over from the Richmond game... Wells and Adams injured? Did one of them get subbed off?

 

[Terror Time]

The key for me in the second half is Petrie, can he fire up.... or not ... is the question.

zaharakis
stanton

Adams subbed, shoulder dislocated

Wells won't play any further part, calf injury

I'm liking him in the back half where he is appearing mostly now

 

[Terror Time]

zaharakis
stanton

howlett

and Zeibell is better then all of them combined

 

[Lance Uppercut]

lol uh huh

 

[Drummer_19]

Goldstein tapped it from inside the centre circle. Bellchambers didn't run at it.

It also went about 3 meters up in the air straight to him. Not a lot belly could do.

 

[fairdinkum]

Every cloud has a silver lining. The injuries to Wells and Adams provide Garlett with a perfect opportunity to show what he can do in the middle against decent opposition. Been good to see him starting in the centre square. Cunnington was brilliant even before the injuries and will be even more important to outcome of the match now.

Tarrant and Hansen with four goals have been good but only four goals between the three towers is below par given how open the match has been. We will need them to lift and/or some goals from the likes of Anthony/Harvey/Bastinac etc to kick a winning score.

 

[Flawed Genius]

I would like to cry, to be thoroughly honest.
