Matchday - Sydney vs Essendon - ANZ Stadium

[OzBomber]

Few minutes in, barely got it past the centre. Early days though.

 

[Andronicus]

very lucky 50m there.

Need to score from this push forward.

Intensity not quite there, but we're in front. Took us a little while to get rolling last week, but look a little flat from the travel.

Travel doesn't mean anything, it's a 2 hour plan trip, as Hird said during the week that's nothing. A little slow to start off but wait till the boys warm up, they'll start hitting their strides soon

 

[stugots]

going nicely now

Meant as mental thing as well.

Meant as mental thing as well.

True, we started slow last week Dogs couldve been 3-4 goals up quickly but we got things rolling and come back strong, kicked a few on the trot now... It's gunna be a dog fight that's for sure

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Super impressed with Bellchambers as well, beating Mumford quite easily at the bounce and giving a good option coming out of defense. After the slow start, its about where it should be, they missed some early chances we missed some late. Heres hoping we can open up in the second quarter.

 

[stugots]

lol, biggest quarter time lead away from home in 6 years according to bruce

 

[beev]

Happy with that. Started slowly but finished well.

Heppell reads the play so well. Good to see Belly continuing on his NAB form.

 

[Andronicus]

without getting too far ahead of ourselves, knowing we aren't looking invincible, it is a refreshing change to see a game plan working for us.

Rather than relying on good individual performances, or defending another teams plan, we seem to be setting the tone a bit in this game.

Will take a while to refine, but it's a good change to see.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Umpiring has been immensely weak both ways.

 

[Kyptastic]

Bit sloppy these last couple of minutes.

edit. Nice work from Davey however.

 

[Charliebrow 16]

Good signs but I'm still very cautious.

 

[OzBomber]

Winderlich doing some very nice things today. Like what he's done.

 

[stugots]

ryder up forward working a treat

 

[OzBomber]

This game is being overumpired big time. 4 blokes jump on the ball and we get pinged for it.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Agreed, there was about 6-7 free kicks between the both sides in the first quarter for high tackles when the recipient clearly ducked the head. Disgusting they kept on getting sucked in.

 

[Charliebrow 16]

Even though Hurley just missed, I love the Ryder/Hurley combination.

 

[stugots]

swans should thank their lucky stars goodes is playing else they'd be getting a hiding

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Free to Smith is WTF, worst call of the day.

 

[OzBomber]

That push in the back call was bull shit. Hardly touched him, then Bruce goes on saying it was a good decision.

 

[Charliebrow 16]

Half time came at the right time. Sydney were quickly developing numbers at the contest and forward of the ball and it was troubling us.

 

[stugots]

hmm, poor last 5-10mins...
