[Yoda_]

Finally get out of D50, after a dubious high free to Nyko, ADJ > VV results in shot on goal

Goal

PM 8.10.58
Ess 11.5.71 (Visenini)

 

[Yoda_]

How's Tom Hird been going at the borough?

Good, captaining the side today. Has lots of tackles most weeks, gets usually between 15 - 25 each week. Has a goal every couple of weeks

 

[ghostdog]

Strong mark to Eckersley. ...and goal!

Port down 2 key defenders now?

 

[Yoda_]

Visneinti with a big clearance, Haely with the kick inside 50, Eckersley takes a good strong contested mark splitting a pack

Shot on goal from 40ish,

PM 8.10.58
Ess 12.5.77 (Eckersley)

 

[Yoda_]

The AFL listers are getting tired, time for Haely and he skipper to stand up now

 

[Yoda_]

Rebound from half back, ends up with Vigo snapping from the pocket

58 - 78

 

[Yoda_]

Free kick to Nyko almost next to the behind post, deep in time on

touched

58 - 79

 

[Yoda_]

Strong pressure and Setterfield with another HTB

Vigo dropping the mark inside 50 and throw in deep in the pocket

 

[ghostdog]

That Manton goal was total arse.

 

[ghostdog]

3/4 Time
Tsatas 23 disposals
Roberts 22 disposals
Setterfield 18 (12 contested) and 7 clearances
Hobbs, Hayes, Hately, Bryan 15
Bryan 7 clearances

 

[Yoda_]

Port rebounds quickly and scrambles quickly, Manton wins a 3 v 1 and snaps on the arc and brings the margin back to 16 points right on the 3/4 time siren

Port Melbourne Borough 9.10.60 (Gowers 4, Miller 2, Manton 2, Moschetti)
Essendon Bombers 12.8.80 (Visentini 2, Setterfield 2, Menzie 2, Eckersley 2, Davey Jnr 2, Scott, J.Davey)

Another weird quarter. down at half time, up by (almost) 3 goals within 5 minutes, late goal stems momentum we had. Really should have put this game to bed but some poor decisions and skills coming out of defence has us 16 points up at the final change.

Tsatas quiet that quarter, Setterfield keeps on keeping on. Roberts has snuck up to 22 as well (think a handful are 'play on' kick ins), Hobbs busy with 15 but hardly unsighted so a lot of scrappy garbage possessions imho

 

[ghostdog]

The AFL listers are getting tired, time for Haely and he skipper to stand up now

Flummoxing how the AFL listers are the ones getting tired.

 

[Yoda_]

Borough on the march with another repeat inside 50

Flockhart with a big mark over Hoare, kick on goal from deep in the pocket

another point

67 - 80

 

[Yoda_]

Ben Hobbs free kick top of the 50m arc, nothing eventuates

 

[ghostdog]

Jayden! Nice snap!

 

[Happyskeret]

Nice goal from Jayden

 

[Yoda_]

Great intercept, scrambles kick inside 50, Jayden front and centre, mops up and snaps truly from 30m

PM 10.13.73
Ess 13.8.86 (J.Davey)

 

[Yoda_]

Manton with a snap, quick reply

PM 10.13.73 (Manton)
Ess 13.8.86

 

[ghostdog]

Is Josh Green on an AFL list?
The best performing of Port's mids today and has taken it up to Setterfield. Could be good depth as a big body.

 

[Yoda_]

Hird receives a high free against Bryan, kicks inside 50, Flockhart with a scrambling snap, behind

74 - 86
