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

[Mister B]

Minor Premiers.

Reward for effort. Now the real season starts.

 

[GoulburnSwan]

Woo hoo we will be minor premiers

 

[Jeffers]

What a fantastic response in the second half. Excellent win. Still have to sort out our intensity and effort at the start but a very important win

 

[WhippingCupcakes]

Not really

Yeah it was rhetorical. Time for him to learn. We have so many options anyway.

 

[Bloods86]

Does horse actually rest players?

Did with Amartey. Talked about resting Grundy then forgot about it I guess.

 

[The King!]

Did Amartey go off

 

[The King!]

Rest Heeney next week he is our MVP

 

[ShireSwan]

Florent has been in our top 2/3 players tonight jeez

If you read what I said...

 

[Bloods86]

Did Amartey go off

Nah just 2 goals.

 

[The King!]

We just needed a win, I know all the other bullshit

But just win for now

 

[the hypnotoad]

Nah just 2 goals.

hahahahaha

 

[Millky95]

[ashep]

Are you sure we're not just pacing ourselves better than the opposition? Essendon came out and threw everything at us tonight, we hung tough and waited till they dropped off, then pounced. The volume of I50s conceded was a worry though.

 

[Jeffers]

As long as we don't do a Port game next week, that should be the minor premiership

 

[ShireSwan]

Yep but surely rest him next week. Grundy too imo.

Does not compute!

 

[Jack2Jack]

Jordon very good by the way. When they were all over us early Merret could've torched us, but he locked him down. Big part of keeping us in it.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

If you read what I said...

Under no circumstance ever are we every considering dropping Florent

 

[kneecapper]

As long as we don't do a Port game next week, that should be the minor premiership

Nope, it's locked in

 

[GoulburnSwan]

It’s killing the commentary teams to praise us.

 

[Swans22]

Lots of positives but here are they important ones
-Florents form. If Mcinerney doesn’t come back we need him for his speed and elusiveness
-defence looks rock solid - kept us in the game in the first half
-Melican is integral to our defence
- Mills looked assured and much better in defence. Hopefully his position is settled for this year
-others - Parker, Cleary, Hayward and Heeney

I dunno. -9 ground ball gets -10 contested possessions doesn't seem like pacing. That inside 50 count against Geelong or a team like the bulldogs will not do at all.

If we can get our starts right and still have that burst footy in tact then look out

 

[Millky95]

Nope, it's locked in

Port win by 110 both games and we lose by 110?

 

[ShireSwan]

Nah just 2 goals.

 

[Day_night_honourer]

Post match fox team - did someone die?
