[Happyskeret]

Great tackle by Roberts

 

[Happyskeret]

Game is starting to open up now.

 

[Yoda_]

Nice intercept by McKay that turned into Shiel going inside 50. Resultant mark and kick on goal from Eckersley was brilliant

Ess 33
Pies 34

26:45 on the screen

 

[Yoda_]

Bryan is really starting to have an influence on the game now. Brilliant tap turning into an Essendon clearance through the front of the stoppage. Eckersley shot on goal. Behind

Scores tied 34 - 34

 

[Happyskeret]

I have enjoyed watching our mids. Pretty strong lineup for the VFL.

 

[Yoda_]

scuffle broken out, unsure on what brought it on. Jiath apparently instigator

Meanwhile, Nyko interrupted from behind the mark resulting in 50m and shot on goal. Behind

Essendon hit he front

[Happyskeret]

Very entertaining qtr

 

[Yoda_]

Jack Jedwab literally takes a contested double grab mark on the 1/2 time siren. shot on goal


Behind

Essendon 5.7.37 (Jedwab 2, Eckersley, J.Davey, Roberts)
Collingwood 5.5.35 (Eyre 2, McCrae, Long, Johnson)

 

[Rick Ross]

Great stuff Yoda_

 

[Yoda_]

Didn't catch the first goal but Byan kicked one within the first 100 seconds of the third quarter

Cam Nyko now gets on the goal kicking column

Opened up small lead

Ess 7.7.49
Pies 5.5.35

 

[Yoda_]

Great team effort but Roberts missed a Ricky soda from 25m out under pressure

Essendon pushing to open the game

Tsatas (21) leading all comers, Shiel (18), Bryan (14), Setterfield (13) leading ball winners for Bombers

 

[Yoda_]

This twos side would be bloody frustrating if I were a pies supporter. Reef McCinnes should be an AFL regular but just does dumb shit all the time.

Ash Johnson does some magical things but balances it out with some really ordinary efforts

 

[Yoda_]

Great second and third effort from Dylan Shiel

amongst a workmanlike team goal from Jack Jedwab in the square

Ess 58

[Yoda_]

We have to many guns now and our role players are doing the job. Oskar Smartt now getting in the goal kicking column

Ess 65
Pies 36

Nyko, Shiel, Foley, Bryan, Tsatasand Hoare our best deep into time on in the third

 

[Happyskeret]

Nice

 

[Yoda_]

O'Neill now snaps after scrambling a ball inside 50

27:00 into the third

 

[Nuggs Bunny]

I'm never going to get sick of the name Jedwab

 

[carloss]

Great goal

 

[Yoda_]

Absilutely brilliant team goal, handball - handball - handball - handball starting with McKay winning a 50:50 on the back flank finished with Eckersley snapping truly

Now a free kick to Smartt just on the 50m arc. Pies rebound

Ess 77

[Yoda_]

Mr frustration Reef Mcinnes kicks a neat snap for the Pies first of the third quarter

Ess 77
Pies 42

 

[carloss]

Tsatas with 28 disposals at 3/4 time, Sheil with 26

 

[Yoda_]

Essendon 11.11.77 (Jedwab 3, Eckersley 2, Smartt, Roberts, O'Neill, Nyko, Davey, Bryan singles)
Collingwood 6.6.42 (Eyre 2, McInness, MacCrae, Long, Johnson singles)

Three quarter time and the game opened up with Essendon kicking 6 goals to one (late Collingwood goal)


Tsatas has been productive but not as influential if that makes sense. Shiel been more impressive. Setterfield surprised me with 16 to his name bu being inside the clinches maybe not as noticeable on the box.

Bryan really got on top in the middle and our mids got to work. Clearances would have been heavily in our favour on the back of this.


I must say, with this group of VFL listers, if we can keep them around could forge something nice. Nyko has AFL attributes and if continues on this trajectory would be on the radar of AFL clubs, Hoare should be on an AFL list if Sam Weidemann and Josh Shache can be, Matt Foley as a small defender has been one of our most consistent players across the first three quarters and would not look out of place on our list. Eckersley continues to show AFL attributes even if kicking boots missing (again) with 2.3 from his 13 possessions
