Stupid SEN commentator.

 

[DeezNuts]

[jannissary]

geelong butchering it infront has kept us in it

 

[bommer16]

Haven’t seen a lot of heads lowered and hands on hips today.
Ess got heart

 

[Blind Turn]

• Showing a lot more dynamism in congestion.
• Running to provide options has been good.
• Pressure on opposition forward entries much improved.
• Forward pressure much improved.
• Jones has been impressive especially his efforts when not in possession.
• Our aerial presence is still disappointing other than Reid who is VERY promising.
• If we had an extra small forward or 2 wed have got away from them early. Gresham gives me a bit of hope though.
• Martin kicks goals. He needs to get the ball forward of centre so still not sure where that leaves the whole HB experiment. He’ll have to do a lot of running to be all things it seems.

 

[Dave]

Yes.

Yeah but they get the goal and it goes in the middle where we've been smashing them.

Actually quite good practice for our defence

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Hot damn I'm glad we kept Parish. Beast. Gun. Jet

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Zach Reid just makes you feel soooooo good

 

[Algorithmic Hot Takes]

Hot damn I'm glad we kept Parish. Beast. Gun. Jet

He was too young for Geelong anyway.

Biggest change from last year to this year is Essendon being more physical at the tackle. Not as many being broken, not backing down from some collisions and how that has affected Geelongs disposal.

In the past Essendon players would avoid contact and try for the smother which would give oppo players enough extra time for an easy kick understanding that proximity doesn’t mean real pressure.

They are doing that better tonight
