Gameday: NAB Cup Essendon vs Brisbane

[mxett]

Sounds like half the crowd are bomber fans!

Would be a flogging if we could kick straight!

 

[Big Blow Hard]

Stuck between a rock and hard place?

LOL Yep, cept I was more coastal. So a beach bum rather than a hill billy.

 

[lionbear]

If we maintain that forward pressur just like the work that set Pev up for goal. man o man, we will cause alot of teams trouble this year. To think that Davey has yet to be thrown in the mix.

Your guys pressure has been good tonight.

 

[Big Blow Hard]

Hopefully nothing to nasty with Hille's shoulder. did not look to bad.

Nash and Dempsey of the HBF seems to be working a charm. When was the last time we won the inside 50's?

Makes me even more anxious for season proper.

Hope Johns can do something in the 4th quarter. Edit: Suffering a minor injury it seems, no i feel like an arse (No pun intended)


Anyone else smile everyt ime the commentators have to say Dick... meh, maybe it's just me.

I would drop Rhys Magin from the team - cause he is only a rookie and doesnt look to have the build yet for the AFL. However maybe knights is thinking of resting another senior player.

I am glad they didn't drop Rhys Magin. It's three quarter time, but what a game he has played.

He played and looked like a better player than most of our second and third year players. He looks a player.

 

[matthewlloydwebber]

magin showing signs for a rookie, very polished as with the few touches myers has had. dyson still looks shaky per delivery and ryder, well, his intensity hasnt gotten any better lolz. very exciting overall performance!

 

[mercs]

Boys look fantastic tonight and great to hear the support we have on the Gold Coast I beleive we have more support than Brissy there. But with 11 regulars missing and the Vossy and the crew think we are looking at a top eight finish gees there some depth and great to finally see these kids given a go

Thank god Andrew Swallow does not play for us! That would be an awkward passage of play to call!

Guys

Australia Network do not broadcast the NAB cup. HAve to follow it on SEN.

[Spikey]

So...Who's on the Magin bandwagon?

 

[Red Black and Blue]

So...Who's on the Magin bandwagon?

Right here

 

[Bombers42]

Yes we've gotem great stuff

 

[silk]

I'm on the Atikinson bandwagon. Just look at the size of him, and he has pretty good pace.

 

[DonMania#5]

Brissy mounting a comeback. 22 points now.

 

[silk]

Thats the JJ we all know and love.

 

[DonMania#5]

J.Johnson pretty much seals it.

 

[Bombers42]

They cant win Go DOns!

 

[Big Blow Hard]

Bring on the DOGGIES!!!!!!

 

[Bombers42]

YESS VICTORY Nash ract up the possesion ei

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Good match skills were down late in the game but tackling was superb all night

 

[mxett]

Impressed with Houli tonight, and Dempsey

 

[A Living God]

Is it just the sleeveless jumper or has Laycock really bulked up?

"Had a massive pre-season"

Getting sicking of hearing that already anyone?

But seriously, a bit of both i reckon, but is definately bigger then last few season.

 

[Windas_Magic]

Best Players: Houli (20+ touches), Mal(solid as always), Dempsey(great run and got a bit of the footy), Nash(28 touches), Monfries(did very well), Hocking(looks like a great player for the future), Nat-Rat(good run and kicked a few goals)
Good to see Myers had a few touches in the second half and i was very impressed with Magin as well.
