Game Day Round 4: Essendon v Adelaide, Sunday April 10, 1.10pm AEST - Marvel Stadium

[CBombers17]

Spirited first half. Somegreat signs from the kids. Adelaide are brave though. Cant see them folding in the second half

Just not a fan of how we are trying to play. It is nearly all slow short kicks or long down the line. There is no spread when we win the ball just a lot of blokes jogging or a bunch of trees standing around.
It is almost like we are too frightened to take a risk. It is really noticeable from level 3.
Limited fast play. Too many soft turnovers and we fumble the ball along for 20 meters only do the to just pick it up.
fu** I hope this is not our preferred plan. It is bloody horrible.

Add to this, when we do take a risk/play on quickly we end up handpassing to a guy that's under pressure or about to run in to pressure at full pace

Hate saying this but Wanganeen is not up to it right now. Good he has had experience at the level but he is costing us.
Ham. Looks well done.
Guelfi goes harder than anyone but too many mistakes.
Captain, do you need glasses ? Trying his guts out but I am bemused at what he is seeing up the ground at stages.
Sam better this week.

Ham's cooked/smoked/cured whatever.

Ham is meant to be smoked pork. We have underdone chicken

 

[ghostdog]

Snelling subbed out

Disappointing for him

Who's the sub?

 

[Shane Heard]

what happened?

Not sure

They are waiting for a report why

 

[Lore]

Who's the sub?

Smithers

He’s a chicken giblet

 

[BratPack]

Who's the sub?

Mr. 4 possessions a game.

 

[Andronicus]

It's the ones they don't pay are the issue. Adelaide do the same thing and no free to us.

Parish was dragged off the ball that last centre bounce and nothing.

'All paid are correct' is a cop out and only half the story

The high contact free in the centre just before they got a goal was a second or 2 after she ignored an arm across the head of Shiel.

Oh Good. Maybe he can run for a half I suppose.

Does Andy have a run-with role?

 

[windyhill]

Philips = ruck craft.

 

[Alberto_Magnifico]

I get the feeling Martin would be just annoyingly good at everything, you'd hate to be his mate. like hed always win Monopoly, guess the right amount of jelly beans in the jar, get drawn for the club working bee raffle etc.

Mr. 4 possessions a game.

Only playing a half so is that double the effort?

Looks like Crouch at stoppages.

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Does Andy have a run-with role?

Andy McGrath not tagging I don't think.

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Hind having a much better game but squibbed a hard ball contest at CHF. Almost pulled out.

 

[andleanback]

Martin, durries and 7 seater great first half
