AFL Toast RND 4: 13 behind WIN Against the Giants

[Bjchan13]

Just looking at the first clearance and goal of the game. Josh Kelly gets a handball (throw) off to Coniglio, where parish and Merrett are both instantly drawn to, who kicks it forward where Kelly has run unattended to recieve the handball and kick a goal. Someone from the centre bounce simply had to stick with him and not be drawn to where he had already disposed of the ball. A player as good as Kelly should be borderline tagged every week

Don't get any Lav knocking after today - thought he was very solid today.

I’d give him a 5/10. Hogan used his body much better than Lav.

Good to get the win but I won't be watching this replay

Hahaha I didn't watch it. I read through what you guys were posting that was enough for me. This team had taken a toll on me over the last 50 years. that's but not as much of a toll as the umpires in the last 20. I just can't watch the game live I get to friggin angry

Likes: Defense, Stringer with 10 shots at goal and dominance around the ground.
Dislikes: Accuracy, lack of purposeful movement and the tool that put UFC PPV spoilers in the chat.

I liked the two rugby throws leading up to Himmelberg's last goal near the end. 4 umpires and they still can't pick a throw.

Must say, the 2:10 Sunday game is much better than the 3pm start. I can actually watch the whole game and then cook dinner afterwards.

 

[frodos gardener]

Not the worst umpired game I’ve seen but the most non-calls I can remember. Absolutely bizarre. It makes me wonder which teams benefit from very loose application of HTB and marks because usually such a shift in umpiring is meant to benefit particular sides in the league or curb others.

 

[Bombermania]

That was one of the strangest match I've ever seen for we totally outplayed them yet we were ordinary.

I put mine in the slow cooker at lunch, nice to do that.

 

[tha Freak]

heck me dead. It ain’t hard. To win football games you need to kick between the middle posts! Phillips would be be among the best if he kicked straight, Stringer would be a superstar if he kicked 8, Draper needs to bag the marks in front,
Menzies/Davies is no good to us unless they bags goals. Scott needs to work on this!!

What time do you want us there to eat?

 

[andleanback]

No idea what that was about, crowd got very restless.

Think the umpires forgot the whistle. Start of the last qtr only 9 fee kicks had been paid in total. Very poor umpired game

 

[carloss]

Thought Menzie was really good

you just gotta let go. it's a game. the umpires are like multi-ball in a way too. it's just random.

Looked to me there were a couple of make up frees paid in the 4th, one in particular from Razor.

Definitely felt that way

 

[citizen-erased]

Judging by Brad's look when Jones hacked it out on the full, that might be his last run for a few weeks.

A true welcome to essendon moment

Weid probably misses due to concussion, so reckon the same talls go in

2 last night were streaks ahead worse.

Missed marks as well.

I need to watch again but I thought so from what I saw at the ground

 

[Lore]

The press conference is really long (16 minutes) but it’s worth a listen. Pretty much every question that’s been pondered on here in the last couple of weeks has been responded to.

 

[Chief Hopper]

Scrappy game, but nice we wrestled the win.
Heppell was great, proved he has a place. Let's see how this year pans out.
Philips and Draper work great. Please don't drop Philips.
Dons wayward kicking probably made this closer than it should have been. Credit to GWS, they played hard and have a great spine in that playing group.

 

[Runk]

Thank **** that’s over and I can get on with galvanising myself for the next four weeks

Thought Menzie was really good

except he has a chronic aversion to kicking goals
