Game Day Essendon v. Sydney, Friday 7.40pm @ Marvel Stadium

[Chaisa]

Much better quarter all round. And unlike last week it was built around the whole team. Need to continue on.

That said, Essendon did look dangerous going forward. We're lucky they missed quite a few shots.

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

Cue the slow hand wave

 

[ShireSwan]

See yah wicks

No need to kick a swan when he's down. Wicks gives his all.

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Now for the nervous bit

 

[Stencorp69]

For Grundy imo

Put McLean into the ruck or even Logan

He needs a break but influenced the quarter so its a hard one

 

[The King!]

That quarter was better but still some odd patches

It's only 4 goals so need to keep going , they score quick

 

[melbournehammer]

Lot of pleasing things that quarter. Parker and heeney forward and Hayward and Cleary - I’m coming round to anartey off. We just are too tall and too immobile and we look better with mids who will compete

 

[ashep]

Was Heeney on Merrett that whole quarter? Did nothing while Heeney was BOG

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Dumb. Get Amartey off.

Either one non fussed

 

[The King!]

Kick 2-3 quick ones and sub Hayward with his knee

 

[Kiama Chris]

For Grundy imo

Put McLean into the ruck or even Logan

McLean rucking better than Grundy. Looks cooked.

 

[melbournehammer]

Still we got super lucky because Essendon defence are horrendous kicks. Like most division 1 vafa teams would kick better

 

[The King!]

Gotta step on the throat here. Playing from behind freed us up last week but we must be clinical from here.

Agree if they switch off they will lose

 

[ashep]

Lyon absolutely deathriding us.

 

[Jeffers]

Gotta finish the job.

 

[Kbroome]

Funny thing is that in the 3rd Draper absolutely towelled up Grundy but we smashed them in the middle. Shows that its more so the midfield turning up than the ruckmatchup being terrible in the first half.

 

[The King!]

Lyon absolutely deathriding us.

Yep they are talking like games finished

 

[Kbroome]

Essendon 'panic merchants' ahahaha

 

[Jeffers]

Lyon absolutely deathriding us.

he's absolutely right though..... can't rely on this burst footy in finals.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

McLean rucking better than Grundy. Looks cooked.

Needs a rest not surprised on that one

 

[The King!]

Oh I forgot the umpire can turn it

 

[Jeffers]

Heeney you idiot

 

[Wheresbuddy]

Has something

He's really fast.

 

[ashep]

Jordon is getting his mojo back. Great quarter.

 

[Day_night_honourer]

Campbell has emerged!! A vital cog tonight
