AFL Toast Rnd 18: 21 point win against Adelaide!

[Bjchan13]

Only caught the last quarter really, spewing, but I feel like that was our most important win of the season. I think I am a believer, even if not this year, then 2020.

I think injuries or not its about getting on a roll and playing good footy at the right time of the year. The players look like they know they're at least a chance.

 

[TheGrizz]

What. A. Win

 

[Bjchan13]

So many of our younger guys can win critical contests. Parish, Redman, Guelfi, Clarke

Can't recall this trait from an Essendon side for a long long time.

Also mcgrath, francis and Langford

Hooker HAS to play forward for the rest of the year. Isn't the last month enough evidence?

I do enjoy him playing forward. I think it’s no coincidence that Mitch Brown’s effective increased after Hooker went forward.

It is a weapon for him to play at both ends — keeps the opposition guessing.

 

[Hird05]

Brown and Hooker forward. Take that to the bank. Call me crazy but I was certain we are better than Crows and deserve to be top six. Stoked

Wish i could give you all a hug and a high five tonight.

Considering who we had out, 5 goals down on the road that’s just about the best Essendon win I’ve seen.

 

[Macca18]

The best win of the year. And I thought we couldn’t top last week!

We are purring at the moment. The personnel out there doesn’t matter because the system and belief is so strong.

Great signs for our future beyond this year.

 

[vast]

That was a gutsy win.

 

[Jesse Custer]

What a feeling! Well done Dons serious belief going on

 

[Pweter]

I'd like to tip my hat to Ben Rutten. Our defensive structure across the ground is becoming really strong and has been one of the keys to our resurgence over the last 7 weeks.

Hopefully this is the game where the club gets the belief it needs to take the next step.

 

[SydneyBomber]

Mental.
And it's killing paul roos in the post-match commentary. EAD you campaigner

And he's stil going... ****head!!

 

[Dave]

I gave us no chance today

Love the fact I was wrong

Great win

At 30 points down my youngest was the only one who believed. Boy did he let me know afterwards!

[JayJ20]

Also, well done Ben Rutten. I've never seen an Essendon side defend better.

 

[brutus76]

BT and Bruce GAGF.

What heart.

Outran and ourworked them in the last 40 minutes.

Saady Irish Pidge and Redders take a bow some real desperation and gut running.

**** yes to savor this all weekend!

So, I’ve just checked in after taking the missus out for anniversary drinks. Last score check was half time and I checked out thinking we were up against it. WTF turned it around for us! I’m absolutely stoked!!!! Go you effing good things! Brown?? Looks like an even contribution on the stats sheet.

 

[vast]

Jesus Christ, where is this coming from ? Keep losing soldiers, keep winning. So bloody impressed.

Zaka pointing to Truck Ruttens system post game.

Rutten has been our real recruit of the year for the system he has put in place. No hurley, hooker fwd and we still keep the crows to under 80 points. Very impressive

 

[essendon]

Heay Mickey McGuane.......did you watch the game...write about this one........u wanted us to get a scalp.......we got one

 

[MiguelM]

Damn, the Norf autopsy thread was much more fun than the Crows

It's a junior colts best players list. Despite a few standouts, "team effort"
