Game Day Round 16 - Geelong v Essendon, MCG, Saturday 29/6/24, 7.30pm AEST

[Its Manbearpig]

How many games has Humphrey's played

 

[Call Me Cake]

Get Heppell off the ground at least for tonight. It's clear he's off his game right now

Great to get to 250 but we need to stop being a charity club. He's costing the boys way too much

 

[bombreys]

Bloody hell Hep, be better

 

[Snake Charmer]

I dunno if it will ever be fun or enjoyable to support this club. Lol

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Should be further in front

 

[andleanback]

Heppell is such a handbrake

 

[ghostdog]

Ugh. A bit of composure required.

 

[Goat Hird]

We weren't from Essington to Fumbleton

 

[Mootsy]

Bloody hell Hep, be better

Even in the wet, you can still grab a footy uncontested, that was just odd.

 

[Snake Charmer]

Should be further in front

8 or so goals I say.

 

[biglaycock]

I understood the preseason thinking of using Martin as a distributor from the back half but he turns it over way too much. Bite the bullet and move him to a wing or HF

 

[Call Me Cake]

Also if we're going to persist with this Martin free running experiment he needs to be better by foot ffs. And be quicker in his disposal. Shanking it and getting caught way too much. It's suicidal so close to defence.

Otherwise he needs to go back to the wing.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

transitional defence

non existent

 

[joey_jo_jo]

Our forward press worked really well but couldn't capitalise. A couple of fumbles by smalls, some poor kicks inside 50, and Peter not paid an obvious mark

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Get off Hepps back...it's broken from carrying our club through dark times.

 

[MiguelM]

Jones has been excellent!

 

[joey_jo_jo]

transitional defence

non existent

We are playing an aggressive press and for most part its working, there will always be an opportunity to score out back against teams doing that. The problem is we didn't capitalise not that the defense was bad.

 

[Squeaky]

We are going to cough this up. I can feel it.
We let our oppo score too easily.
And we dominate the play for nought

 

[Petrify]

I am once again asking why Archie Perkins is in this side. He is once again our lowest rated player on the ground, despite playing in the middle and getting CBA's.

 

[tha Freak]

Hoping the dryer conditions after half time will let us open up the game more. Come on Dons, win this!

 

[FootyGuru]

We are controlling the game. Those 2 goals came from turnovers. Need to be bit smarter going forward. Nice half. Winning clearance, hit out and time inside 50.

Touey had to be holding the ball when he dived on it. They aren’t paying tackling without it, I hope they are consistent the entire match, because they have missed plenty for us.

 

[Tassieboy]

Is Durham our safest mark?

 

[Petrify]

Is Durham our safest mark?

Him and Jones

 

[justlookingaround]

Getting sick of dominating games for no reward on the scoreboard

They paid one very similar against us earlier but were gun shy because it was near goal. Also thought wright marked it near goal too.
