Game Day Round 13: 150 Years of EFC - Essendon v **** Carlton, Friday June 10, 7.50pm AEST - MCG

[Its Manbearpig]

How was curnow that far free?

 

[scythe]

One stupid mistake undoes five minutes of great defending. Typical.

 

[Donakebab]

How does Curnow find that much space Riddles?!

 

[Vindicater]

Coast to coast again with ease.

 

[Inspecta Gadget]

It's honestly staggering how easily teams can move the ball against us

 

[ghostdog]

Well, we look good. Defence looks a bit better organised tonight.

 

[sameolds33]

red time goal reminds us who we are but other than that, something to cheer about is nice for a change

 

[MiguelM]

How was curnow that far free?

Ridley didn't go with him. Poor

 

[Jobe Watson]

Our transition defence... seriously, what are we doing to address this. A turnover at half back should not result in a scoring shot 80% of the time.

 

[srobbo]

Red time bombers. Fk me how hard is it to hold possession for 60 secs, let alone defend on transition. Fk me.

 

[DonsRule]

Finished the quarter a little better but still too easy for them at times

 

[eth-dog]

How was curnow that far free?

Because Ridley thought they'd go for McKay and zoned off

 

[nesko_25]

Reid lost McKay and Riddles peeled off Curnow to cover thinking Cottral would go long.

It’s equally as difficult for us to get the ball forward

 

[TheGrizz]

Like, have our players never seen a team switch the ball before?

 

[scythe]

We’re cracking in, there’s no denying that.

 

[Squeaky]

Our forwards are shoulder to shoulder with their opponents and our backs are guarding grass.
It looks like they have so much more room!

 

[citizen-erased]

Redman needs to go back to block space instead of go cotterel who was well out. Make him kick long to contests

We'll eventually work these things out.

 

[MiguelM]

Rucks should absolutely smash into DeKonning at every opportunity.

 

[Squeaky]

Well, we look good. Defence looks a bit better organised tonight.

I reckon it is horrible.

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Fanfooty says Perkins is tagging Cripps? Great experience if he is and kept him very quiet.

 

[Seb78]

Perkins doing a great job on Cripps

 

[ghostdog]

Last goal was a late blight. I reckon we've looked better tonight back there than recently. Transition to catch the rebound still looks bad though.

 

[ghostdog]

Fanfooty says Perkins is tagging Cripps? Great experience if he is and kept him very quiet.

Went to him late in the quarter I think.

 

[ghostdog]

I reckon it is horrible.

We've repelled a bit. I'm not unhappy.
