VFL Round 15: PORT MELBOURNE vs ESSENDON Saturday 6 July, 2:05pm, North Port Oval

[Yoda_]

This really is two shit sides going at it, half time

Port Melbourne Boough 7.8.50 (Gowers 3, Miller 2, Moschetti, Manton)
Essendon Bombers 7.4.46 (Menzie 2, Setterfield, Scott, Eckersley, Davey Jnr, Davey)

Strange half, looked like Essendon was going to run away with it after skipping out to a 23 point (iirc) lead but then Port got to work.

Some horrid turnovers gifted easy entries to Port which didn't help. Need to get more out of our small forwards

Yoda_ I saw from the beginning of the second. Tsatas' reading of the play impressive. How was his ball use in the first?

Not looking to do cue things, just get the ball forward. The occasional time he has hit up a target has hit its intended target (Bryan on the lead and I think it was Foley I mentioned) in that second quarter

where is Hobbs at? Looked like he was going to take the next step but has dropped off.

wen out of my way to comment in his player thread. I hope he is rinsed at half time for not giving first option.

The sooner he gives first option and helps protect his team mates into knowing what he will do, the better a player he will look like and become

Brilliant centre clearance that was almost rebounded but pressure from Essendon's smalls caused the HTB free kick.

Setterfield kicking right on 50m


Goal, 3 in 5 minutes to Essendon

PM 7.8.50

Another centre clearance to Essendon, rebound almost but more pressure causes HTB free kick on goal from almost identical spot to Hately

No score


Rushed behind after some scrambling though

I say this every week but Will Hoare should be on an AFL list

 

[ghostdog]

Will Hoare's a very good contested mark.

2 really fluent inside 50s that didn't result in anything. Disappointing

Borough rebound and Manton hits the post from outside 50m

51 - 65

Lual that is crap, turnover by hand and Port running in numbers now

 

[ghostdog]

Momentum in this game ebbing and flowing all afternoon. These guys need some edge to arrest it.

How's Tom Hird been going at the borough?
