Have always loved Ballard but he is becoming a dumb footballer, I don’t know what’s happened

pretty good game if you take out both teams mistakes every minute

mitosis kicks in and he multiplies

Rowell having a great night

 

[Southern Sun]

We are so close to being bloody good. But frustrating watching us not want to be that good

 

[Young_Guns]

Hayden Young style?

Exactly. Powell getting some of the easy outside ball Anderson fluffs and we are 3 goals better with his delivery.
Has the size to match it in there too.

Get Rioli in to take his HB spot and put Powell on a wing/outside mid spot. Profit

 

[KaySwizzle]

So we’re playing Sexton on a wing. So now we have a bit of speed there.

Defenders are mostly ok, but getting stretched in the air. Forward connection is better than some games, but still not great. But forwards are presenting well at least.

Mids are doing a bit, but Rowell is carrying the team. Still getting beaten on a bit of spread if they win the clearance.

Need a big quarter, and for Noz to get involved and hopefully we can break a few curses and end a season for Essendon.

Least he can get near it. Jed is a net negative. Doesn't take marks, doesn't kick goals, he has no idea what he is doing out there.

We know you’re not a fan of Walter but you can’t expect him to be lance franklin after 12 games

I'm not expecting that and I'm glad he has kicked a couple, he just doesn't have the forward IQ to be playing afl right now. His 1 wood was pack marking and strength and it hasn't translated to AFL level.

 

[RowellAnderson12]

Man i hate that this flog turns into prime jon jones against us

 

[RowellAnderson12]

1 quarter to go, we'll be national heroes on monday if we win.

we could break essendons season here and australia wins

 

[Supersuns]

Let's see if we have any semblance of a back bone here

 

[CanYouFeelTheSunburn]

Racist campaigners booing mac

1 minute later and weve done everything completely the opposite of my objective.

Nice !!!

 

[Scotty_222]

Has Draper had all his goals from free kicks?

 

[Supersuns]

Absolutely no movement. We are so boring and predictable with the ball

 

[Ben Drever]

Jed off Swallow on

Deja vu off resting Jed after almost tearing Geelong a new 1 in Darwin

Kicks 2 quick ones then gets binned

 

[RowellAnderson12]

Absolutely no movement. We are so boring and predictable with the ball

Consistent footy cant ask for much more

 

[Young_Guns]

The pressure of this completely meaningless Round 22 game against the hardened beasts that are Essington seems to be too much for us to push back against.
Fair enough.

 

[DTLSchulzy16]

Can’t win a contest forward of centre atm. Ball use not helping either

worth his weight in gold. Absolute ripper.

 

[DTLSchulzy16]

Why wasn’t that advantage out the centre?
