Essendon V WCE Gameday thread.

[Lach72]

Bloody good stuff
Good ball movement and power marking, coupled with good tight defense.

Naitanui is playing a game and Kerr's been great

 

[Audacious]

Well Essendon were never gonna just let us run away with it lets be honest.

It will be good to see how we respond here.

Pretty decent game otherwise.

Be nice to snag a couple of late ones.

Your wish is the Eagles command

 

[Bacchus]

Can we have two of Glass and none of Schofield!

 

[Makka]

Good first half. Unfortunately let the Bombers in a bit there so need a big 3rd to open it up again. Can't let the Bombers get a run on again.

Schofield has been good. The two marking contests he lost, he couldn't do a thing about.

I do wish Emac was there though.

OK then just win every game and the 2011 flag now

Harsh on Schofield - he's giving up a lot of size on Ryder...

 

[mitchzz]

Kerr back to his best. Naitanui great in tight. Kennedy and Darling presenting and marking well. Nicoski snagged a few important goals. Shuey using his speed well. Scooter great in the guts. Smith great down back. Cox good as always.

Really hope we can hold onto this one.

 

[sTeeL]

Emac was obviously a big out. Schofields doing alright but I tell ya what. Without another KPB, we are gonna always struggle with the amount of big guys they got.

 

[EagleMan87]

Similar to last week we burst out of the gates before conceding our lead in the second. Although it's against much better opposition this time.

Hopefully we can start well in the third and kick away kick last week, but I'll be happy so long as we keep up our intensity.

Thought you were going to say the opposition has been poor again, that's what you've said every other game this year.

I still think we will struggle to win this game, lack of KPDs is hurting us, but keep the pressure up and anything can happen.

 

[fomoco04]

Huge half. Intensity has been as good as its been for several years.

Big second half needed or Essendon could still steal it. The opportunities we have created so far we should be s couple more up.

Got to be excited where we're heading tho, win, lose or draw.

Who's winning the Rising star duel - Heppell or Darling
Darling for mine but Heppell is good

 

[we57st]

What's happened to Embley? Is someone running a tight tag on him?

 

[The Falcon Strike]

LOL @ your pain. At least you can watch the ****ing game. Im doing mothers day shite

Breakfast in bed, takeaway coffee, kids kept under control until 11am.

Two cleaned bathrooms, 2 disinfected toilets, vaccuming and mopping.

I've earnt this!!

 

[pantskyle]

Quinz is your pic from garth marenghi's darkplace?

 

[Jimmy_the_Gent]

Jetta, the bastard, keeps using his pace to break our press. I wish I knew how to stop him but I don't, so I'll just say "someone needs to iron him out".

 

[Quinz]

Just playing a poor game.

Quinz is your pic from garth marenghi's darkplace?

Yes. Yes it is.

 

[ghostdog]

You blokes are playing well. Cannot believe people were writing Kerr off. Perhaps he's realised it's time to make or break. NicNat is fast becoming the guy we love to hate. Shuey, LeCras, Darling... we might meet again in September me thinks

Was coming back to us this year if Knights was still coach

Was thinking the same thing. The other thing they have done well (the Bombers) is the tapping to the speedy outside players rather than taking posession

 

[Sw3Et]

Gonna be bloody hard to give votes for this game!

 

[Fargo]

Great signs. Here's hoping we don't tire and the Bombers better efficiency kills us.

 

[WaltzingMatera]

Always so much more nerve racking playing Essendon than any other team.

Would be truly surprised if we got over the line but hoping like crazy.
