Round 11: West Coast vs Essendon

[Thrawn]

Well done Essendon.

As much as it pains me to say it, you guys are looking pretty good this year. Terrific win, one of the games of the year for sure. I hope our boys can find that heart when we meet the same opposition at TD later this year.

Did the Dons fans do the jacket thing?

 

[Itsmyshow]

You little rip snorter.. Excellent game...

Good win Dons, but Brent Staker is one of the most impressive players running around ATM....

 

[blues4flag]

Fantastic win by the Dons - brilliant final term.

Though, looked as if neither team wanted to win when it was 94-94. Too much squaring up instead of having a shot for goal - that Kerr pass in particular.

 

[Supahodge]

Grats Bombers.

After watching first half thought you guys were gonna get belted. Can see the headlines... "Worsfold bemoans inaccurate kicking" (again!)

 

[EssendonPride]

Great win Bombers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Can't believe my heart made it through those last 5 minutes.

Amazed by West Coast Supporters..... True Gentlemen.

After suffering disgraceful Tigers and Swans fan the last few weeks, you guys certainly make for a breath of fresh air.

People call West Coast supporters arrogant... maybe some are a touch. (with a side like that, it'd be hard not to be. Can certainly relate after 1999-2001)

But being gracious in defeat is a truer sign of who they are.
Really impressed!

 

[Bretski]

Arg! why did that ball bounce out instead of through for a point! Top stuff bombers nevertheless

 

[Smyth94]

49,000 @ The Dome... what a crowd
At least 8,000 Eagles out of that...how many of that figure would've traveled from Perth?

 

[Alphanumeric]

KERR! Why didnt he have a shot!?

What a great question!

Why didn't he have a shot??

 

[Ealesy]

What a great question!

Why didn't he have a shot??

Lack of confidence? I mean Slattery had pretty effectively shut him out of the game for the previous 119 minutes!!

 

[Genesis67]

Only heard up to half time on the radio, sounds like a corker in the second half.

Grats Bombers fans

 

[Deanoz]

49,000 @ The Dome... what a crowd
At least 8,000 Eagles out of that...how many of that figure would've traveled from Perth?

Because quite simply, Essendon is our most feared rival...

I had tickets myself to go over for it from WA...work got in the way though unfortunately...

 

[krustyman]

the bombers have overcome their last quarter fade out, the eagles should have won easily but did a freo.

 

[- PC -]

What a great question!

Why didn't he have a shot??

Ring rust.

 

[sharpie]

all eagles fans know that WCE are essendon's b1tch

we are used to some don champion destroying our hopes

see salmon, mercuri, hird, lloyd etc etc

 

[MoFF]

What a match! Essendon totally deserved their win. Be proud of it guys

Goddamn I love matches at the Dome vs Essendon. They are always packed full of excitement.
