Game Day Round 2: Essendon v Brisbane, Saturday March 26, 4.35pm AEDST - Marvel Stadium

[Maddogm]

Wright leading the possessions

 

[Goat Hird]

Hopefully we can keep this up

 

[Mootsy]

We’ve been good, but our overhead and contested marking is still the pits.
If you hold onto the ball, you create immediate space and you won’t get tackled. There is a great incentive to nail even some of the more challenging grabs.

It’s embarrassing watching players fumble pretty simple marks and it should be a priority skill.

Much better pressure all over the ground except for Smith.

Peter Wright channeling Carey.

 

[Blind Turn]

Peter Wright on track for 350 SC points….

 

[Lore]

Ice skates have grip

Not so much if they’re figure skates… which feels about right

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Kelly some good stuff as well…important tackle near midfield resulted in a goal and solid defensively

 

[scythe]

I’m enjoying the “Daniher not getting a touch” thing, but the “not getting a chance to boo Daniher” thing kinda sucks.

 

[Lore]

Whoever MC’s the quarter time entertainment….

He’s getting booed without touching it anyway

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Wright’s last five quarters at Marvel have been epic. Dogs seven goal game was last time

 

[Alberto_Magnifico]

What kind of Essendon do we get for the rest of the game? Who the hell knows, the rollercoaster of emotions you get with this club is not good for your health.

Just need to get the finals shifted there

 

[Dave]

I've already thrown the remote due to umpiring.

I’ve already seen off the lady sitting next to me due to the umpiring. Didnt think I was that loud!

 

[sameolds33]

Fantastic start, hope we can keep it up

[The Devils Advocate]

Can you please spare a moment to hear the word about our lord and saviour Peter Wright?

 

[Beerfish]

That was 50..

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Did the ump just called Frang "Andrew"?

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Milky from Merrett, too cute my arse.

 

[Beerfish]

How far can you be from your man before you're in the protected zone illegally? 5m?

 

[mike14]

That's at least 3 very gettable goals gone begging

 

[biglaycock]

What has happened to Cox’s kicking

 

[MiguelM]

We still need to nail those chances.

 

[Donakebab]

How is that not 50 against Joe?
