Review Post Mortem vs Bombers

[wmvaux]

worst officiated match this season I've seen.... the umpires wanted a close match and it was obvious... they impacted too much

it was bad for both teams

Yes the umpires put the whistle away and let too much go on. You can't umpire like that and differently for other games. So many times Grundy was pushed and held and there were high tackles not paid and holding the ball for both teams.

Great game of footy.

Full of admiration for the way both teams played and Pendles is an absolute champion

 

[TheStigxo]

We played like crap and got lucky, but I'll take the 4 points any day.

Also said good game on the Essendon board and got banned, well done flogs. Just like your pathetic supporters who booed Pendlebury. EAD.

Bullshit we got lucky

Buckley will be on the Channel 7 show tonight at 8.30 pm.

Now to the game, so many mistakes, I will unlikely be a fan of Thomas especially leaving Cox to chase the player whilst he waited for the cheap handball. Newsflash... Cox is not that fast.

Essendon were the better team for the majority of the match and would have won if the game had gone on any longer.
Happy to bank the four points at this stage but we need to improve.

 

[Thatsmyname]

We need a quick in the midfield, we've got grunt up the wazoo, Sier and Mayne coming back even more so.
We need another afterburner to go with Treloar.

After the disgraceful behaviour of Essendon fans I now agree with Malthouse’s sentiment except it should only be stripped from those bastards. Scummy and not fitting of the ANZAC spirit.

Agree, just give it to a team that their supporters would appreciate playing today against us. It was a disgrace.
If we had boo like them l would be angry. Boo jurying the game but not afterwards.

 

[Highly Evolved]

Sorry for the intrusion, Pendles was immense. Field kicking hurt us a lot. I was surprised we were able to claw back tbh.

 

[TheStigxo]

Bullshit we got lucky

I think we did, some really poor decisions cost them. Against a top 4 team, that would have been a loss.

But it's Round 5 and I'd much rather our team peak in September then in April like 2011

Edit: It's actually Round 6...used to Anzac Day being Round 5!

 

[Mavs13]

Did any hear David King go on about the umpires costing Essendon the game. He must have had $$$ on them.

 

[CFC2010]

Kirby how shit is our skipper.

 

[left at home]

oi! I'm trapped in your avatar!

Great minds think alike

Another game in which we won ugly after a promising start. We could have been overrun but....... we weren't. We had a lot of passengers and still won. Well done boys.

Poor umpiring affected both sides.

Pendles was brilliant 38 possessions, 16 contested, 7 marks; 3 clearances, 6 tackles, 4 I50's, as was Grundy with 24 possessions; 16 contested; 6 marks, 3 clearances, 6 tackles, 2 I50's, 39 HO's and a couple of brain fades. Crisp and Adams hardly put a foot wrong.

We do not have a great midfield. Yes we have good midfielders however, they hardly play well or consistently at the same time. They looked slow.
Clearances -11;
Stoppages -8;
Centre -4;

2.10 from set shots.

Brown for the good things he does is let down by his poor kicking, which lacks any penetration. He kicked 0.3 with all his shots within 30-35m and basically directly in front.

Beams looked slow and his disposal was poor. Was he injured?. Varcoe was poor. He had one kick after QT and finished with 4 for the game which included two direct turnovers. Mihocek, other than his goal in the 1st Q, was unsighted. Thomas and Stevo had another poor game

 

[wmvaux]

As soon as we stop winning the ball out of the middle, we struggle. We have enough talent, but it doesn't deliver enough when we need it.

 

[PeanutButter Pies]

What a scrap in the 4th, happy the boys pulled through.

 

[jonbe54]

Some of you are almost as salty as the bombers FFS.

We are not playing consistently good footy but truly speaking bad kicking for goal is bad football.

This needs to be sorted out because the only thing that gave the bombers a whiff of hope was our atrocious kicking for goal.

We should have converted at least 4 of those goals - add those and it's a comfortable win and also take into account the bombers are the biggest front runners in the business - should have been 50 up at half time. As it was we frittered those chances and gave them hope.

Won the match against a valiant team who played like a 5 goal better team on pure adrenaline.

As far as their supporters at the G. I have only one word to describe them.

Troglodytes.

Yeah I yelled at the TV. Help him Thomas ffs. Was really disappointed in leaving Cox to chase & stayed outside looking for cheap ball.

 

[jackcass]

Shit we we’re lucky there but hung in there and won ugly which is what a good side does. Pendles such a champ.

Kept them in it and gave them a sniff. Set shot goal kicking was disgraceful, as was much of our transition into F50, spanked in the clearances. Still, play poorly and still get the 4 points, take that every day of the week.

 

[Go Woods]

Eddie saying Essendon public are fantastic, wrong Eddie

Two words Ed, shut up!

Yeah real happy to get away with that.

 

[I bleed Blue]

Congrats on the win guys. I always love to see the Bombers lose. Especially like that.

Also Bucks is a class act. Good on him for calling out everyone booing!

Good luck for the rest of the year.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Lead all day and were good enough to hold on against a decent opponent.

Next opponent please, that’s in the bank.
