I mean, I'll take it?

Essendon infringing too much

They could argue it was at the marking contest but at the end of it, he still whacked Berry fair and square and not the ball.

 

[deklares]

Witho playing well

 

[jackess]

Clearances the only issue really

Bit worried when it gets to ground in the back half.

 

[PTizzle]

Witho playing well

Definitely looks up for it. Good to see.

Did Ballenden have any ruck time that quarter?

 

[kenberger]

I tell you what, after putting up with Bruce barracking for Essendon for the first 15mins I’ve found the mute button to be a revelation. Might make this my default option

 

[Toffee Lion]

Witho playing well

Answerth as well. Both have come in and done their job.

We're well stocked for when Birch & Rich retire.

 

[FLVanLandingham]

Happy so far. Answerth and Witho looking on point at the moment.

Ballenden and Skinner are going alright, I expect them to grow into the next quarter. CEY slotting right back in.

Definitely looks up for it. Good to see.

Did Ballenden have any ruck time that quarter?

Yeah gave away a free kick in the ruck that looked pretty ticky-tacky.

 

[DERRINALPHIL]

Bit sloppy there

Liked the lead by Hipwood when Lauchie got the free. Hipwood dropped a simple mark but it shows he is thinking like a forward. He saw the space and ran into it. need to see more of that.

 

[jackess]

Answerth as well. Both have come in and done their job.

We're well stocked for when Birch & Rich retire.

His kicking is a bit of a worry. But has looked good defensively

 

[luthor]

Set shot kicking still a concern.

Charlie and Zorko both missing sodas and Skinner hitting the post.

 

[Dalions]

If I could use one word to describe that quarter - sloppy!
Strange because we lead by 24 points.

 

[jackess]

Tackles 13-2 our way

 

[BRAB]

Witherden looking very fit.

Great first quarter, Essendon will come back hard so hopefully we can weather that.

 

[bato]

Reckon Skinner was just really tired earlier on? Or is that his normal defensive chasing speed?

 

[Harris Specter]

Hope we can keep pressing on and not let them back in.

 

[MSB ROYS]

What a roller coaster quarter...

 

[Toffee Lion]

For the love of god though, please just put them away. Can't stand another nailbiter.

 

[FLVanLandingham]

rayner is going to get a mark of the year one day

flying at them!

 

[Back2Back2Back]

Wow Hipwood a bit lucky to get a free from that falcon.

 

[PTizzle]

If Essendon went for the ball more and our players less they might have a bit more luck.

 

[jackess]

Struggling at clearances

 

[FLVanLandingham]

holy cray CEY is SCARY

 

[Back2Back2Back]

CEY WITH THE DUMP!!!!
