[andleanback]

What is Nic Martin doing...

He’s been essington’d already

 

[TheUnicorn]

19-15

Harley Reid here we come!

 

[srobbo]

Parish & Hind stood like concrete pillars watching Ainsworth walk through there.

 

[bennyg12]

Seem softer than last year with Zero pressure

 

[Learntopray]

We are a couple of steps behind across the whole ground so far.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Menzie definitely best 22.

 

[citizen-erased]

Start strong.
Start to fade halfway through the first....

Ive seen this one already

 

[TheUnicorn]

Menzie for his 2nd goal!

Could it be that Essendon pre season hype was actually true for once :O ?

 

[Learntopray]

Menzie pops up yet again for his 2nd.
Not liking our forward entries unless we ramp up forward pressure

 

[Schnitzengruben]

We've targeted 35m out directly in front for about 6-7 forward entries so far.

Was true with Martin last year too.

 

[Learntopray]

Panic handballs are still abundant

 

[Mr Sasquatch]

Michael J Fox the cameraman?

 

[ghostdog]

Michael J Fox the cameraman?

That's a ****ed thing to say mate.

 

[Learntopray]

That Ainsworth goal will be put on replay at the hangar. Pathetic effort from Hind and Parish

 

[84859300]

We've targeted 35m out directly in front for about 6-7 forward entries so far.

The cage returns

 

[jdstorm]

Great to have footy back. Team definitely playing hesitant. Hopefully that improves with more A team players

What’s the general message for games like this ? Do they want us going at about 70% and not doing anything too rough/reckless ? Or ?

If performance is anything go by that sounds like same messaging we've had for the last decade.

 

[bennyg12]

Bryan is f**king useless

 

[dank420_]

wtf Bryan LOL

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Nice from Baldwin. Good spoil out of position and then follow up with the tackle.

No idea. Redman's attack earlier was full on...that non tackle goal was as soft as butter.

Well it was true last year with nic…
