That’s some qanon shit right there, i believe in NAB777Same margin as the 84 GF.
At one point the score was 100 to 81 and I said to the bloke next to me ‘wouldn’t be appropriate if score 5 more behinds to finish the game. Was close to it.Same margin as the 84 GF.
Great game from McGrath. Best I have sen him play for a long time
Agreed. He was ordinary. For the role we are looking for off HB he provided none of it. The jury was out for me in this one and I’ll give it a week or 2 more but we can’t afford to deny ourselves a goalkicking mid, which he is, if instead we’re getting a low efficiency accumulator off HB.I don't want to be negative but I thought Martin was off today, his disposal and decision making was off compared to his usual standard.

Some would consider marking one of the basics.Jones . Does the basics right but can not mark.
I thought he was genuinely terrible - it felt like every time he got involved it felt rushed and would lead to a turnover.
Yep. I mentioned in his player thread that when you’re on the boundary fence spectating you really appreciate his sharpness and dynamism to get us out of hot spots. His kicking may still let him down but I was really impressed watching him closely today.I disagree wholeheartedly. McGrath had the most disposals on the ground and was highly instrumental coming out of the backline. Steadied us up a lot when we needed it.
I disagree wholeheartedly. McGrath had the most disposals in the game and was highly instrumental coming out of the backline with a lot of them. Steadied us up when we needed it.
He buggered it up a lot of times coming out of there though - cost us a few goals at least
Clearly you weren't paying much attention to his game specifically. Had a moment where he was running out and got pinged but to hang that on our leading disposal getter who was 90% good is teetering on the typical whipping we see on McGrath (which is getting a bit old now).
If you thought he only had kne bad moment I think it’s you who wasn’t paying too much attention mate. You were happy with his decision to take an advantage and kick it out on the full under no pressure?
lol watAlways great to have a win after a long off season. This was a game with positives but also glaring negatives.
First McKay seems to be a perfect fit and a big upgrade on BZT. I am quietly getting more optimistic that our usual Hawkins mauling might not happen this season. Great first game in the sash.
Loved the work of Perkins, Caldwell, Setters and Co. Centre clearances were amazing and did the defensive stuff too.
Goldy was great. Can't believe how well he moves considering his age and stage of his career. One of the most consistent rucking displays we have had for a while. Doesn't have the dash of Draper or the leap.. or the 'X' factor.. but he controlled the ruck and I think showed a case for playing 2 rucks depending on situation.
Stringer and Langers - tale of two halves.. great to see Stringer up and about early. Langford had a dog first half but stuck with it and came up big when needed. Both players led from the front and made sure the ball hit the deck and big reason why we had so many tackles in our forward 50.
Guelfi.. won't get the accolades but did a tonne of work up forward. A big impact. Made a case to keep his spot even when everyone is fit.
Not so great:
We have seen this exact game from perkins against Hawks last year.. and he didn't repeat it. Need him to really step up and be a consistently good player from us.
Our kick ins.. LOVE that it was something different after 10 years of the same thing.. but some poor decisions and then poor execution made it still look amateur and messy.
Our defensive web in the middle during open play. Hawks carved us up down the middle time and time again. Martin a big culprit. No accountability for his man on several occasions.
Overall a good game but that won't be enough to even get close to good teams.. we need to clean up a few things in a hurry. Also very disappointing to see Reid go down again.. feel sorry for him but we need to plan around him as I just don't see his body holding up.
Bring on the Swannies! Go Bombers!
David King is still a sourpuss and p*ssed his best game was in the 2000 QF against us where he kicked 7 goals from 22 touches in that magnificent 125 point flogging and no one remembers his performance
This is spot on.Unconvincing but a WIN - we'll take it
Skills and defensive work needs attending to
Perko fantastic, Package was the X factor
Loved Zac and Setters grunt in the midfield - Tsatas as the sub did some great work when he came on
Happy for Mass for the Hawks - really played and used the ball well
Hate to rain on the parade.. but we had some terrible moments (especially in the first half) where Hawthorn absolutely waltzed the ball through the corridor while we did a few little throw-the-arm-out half chases
Is there a Gif yet?My favourite moment was Sam Mitchell's frustration, dropping the phone in the 4th Q. I said to my son, they put that shot up just for the Essendon fans to cheer.
Rolled gold!
Marking on the hard lead is not really a basic skill as such . Not a lot are good at it.Some would consider marking one of the basics.
I will concede that he appears to successfully sucks air into his lungs so there is that I guess.
So long as he’s having a great time as an Essendon player I’m happy to have him on board.
