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

[TheGreatBarryB]

Martin…good hands and a nice kick. What a find

 

[sameolds33]

Our defence is so ordinary

 

[boncer34]

He was our deepest defender, just bad timing that Rachele was their deepest forward at that point. He was on Himmelberg 2 mins earlier

I guess the point I'd make is he shouldn't be. Whoever is on Rachele needed to be more aware.

[TheGrizz]

Bullshit effort by Snelling.

Lay the freaking tackle

 

[srobbo]

What’s wrong with tackling him Snelling?? Ridiculous option!

 

[eth-dog]

Needed to tackle there Snell

 

[sameolds33]

Good attack by Wangers right at the end.

 

[Alberto_Magnifico]

What’s wrong with tackling him Snelling??

Nahhh surely youd rather have the 5'6" guys bumping!

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Should be three goals up with that stuff up in forward line and now they get it on rebound to be only one down qtr time

 

[Lore]

Bullshit effort by Snelling.

Lay the freaking tackle

First game back from injury with no VFL, I'm gonna hope it's just a matter of getting his touch back

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

 

[quotemokc]

We just give up such easy goals.

Even if Snelling made the tackle Adelaide had numerous options around the ball

Where is everyone?

 

[TheGrizz]

I guess the point I'd make is he shouldn't be. Whoever is on Rachele needed to be more aware.

Sure, but the ball transitioned like lightning from end to end so Racheles direct matchup probably didn't think he was a threat as the ball got pumped inside our F50

 

[CBombers17]

Great to see some clinical ball use by the young guys and good goal kicking

 

[naraku]

Should be a long way in front. But our guys just need to build and get confidence during this match.

 

[Learntopray]

I think Snelling thought he was going to get to the ball first and then braced when he realized he wasnt.

 

[mike14]

Turns out goal kicking was the least of our problems

We are not fit enough/fast enough across the ground which is why we struggle to hold our shape. We also make some poor decisions.

Pretty good quarter. Durham was very good and Parish/McGrath are working hard. Wright looks like he can mark everything

 

[TheUnicorn]

Good signs from the young fellas! Perkins, Durham and Martin. Our side is even younger than Adelaide I think our future looks bright, Hopefully some of these talls come good!

 

[JT_the_Man]

Pete is that guy

 

[TheGrizz]

First game back from injury with no VFL, I'm gonna hope it's just a matter of getting his touch back

If you elect to bump instead of tackle, you sure as he'll better make sure he goes to ground all the ball spills loose.

Snelling teammates stood off expecting to stick the tackle.

 

[BratPack]

Dominating the hit outs, Winning Clearances. Still only up by 7.

I know it's Adelaide but why am I scared?

 

[Squeaky]

Good signs but also some bad ones.
What does that mean?
****ed if I'd know!

 

[boncer34]

Sure, but the ball transitioned like lightning from end to end so Racheles direct matchup probably didn't think he was a threat as the ball got pumped inside our F50

Be a boy scout Grizz.

Prepared.

 

[Donakebab]

I'm prepared to cut Snelling a break given he often is responsible for like a quarter of the teams total tackles. Just blowing out the cobwebs.
