Game Day: Melbourne v Essendon

Featured Replies

Well this is positive reading! Sounds like they are having a decent crack which is what we all wanted. From the sounds of some of the missed shots early, we could have been a lot closer too!!

im starting to get very nervous about Jurrah, this will be 2 very bad games in a row for him

For goodness sake...spare me the hysteria....

The guy has played 9 proper games....

Are you here [censored]? Jurrah's getting into it.

Its the pre-season, he is the only target up forward atm and the other teams will be playing closer attention to him this year.

I'm not worried but he will have to work harder this year I think.

Jurrah was pushed up the ground that quarter to get a feel for it. Had some nice clean touches

which will be really good for his confidence. Is getting caught behind the packs up forward, and is bring held

every now and again which doesn't help.

Sylvia and Grimes are playing phenomenally well. We are killing them in the midfield but just can't capitalize up forward.

We are not great at bringing the ball out of defence either.

Would love to win this quarter and give the bombers a scare. Remember we are without Green, Bruce and

Davey.

no mate, just going by the lack of posts that don't have his name in it, glad to hear he is getting into it

Great to hear particularly about Sylvia. He needs to assert himself this year to show he has what it takes to be a great player and prove last year wasn't a one off.

Also good to hear Jurrah is getting some touches. He is a freak but I don't think we will be able to rely on him. He is the x-factor that can blow the game apart but not the lynchpin that we can rely on to straighten up our forward line I think.

Grimes 29 touches by 3/4 time!!

nice :)

Bomber goal :(


is Morton playing???

whats the go for all the Morton bashers?

FAR OUT !! every time we get close they kick one any word on joel macdonald

Miller is out there as are the top two. Bate isn't in.

Jurrah off the ball I'm not sure about.


Joel macdonald has attacked it pretty well ireckon. Not sure who he's on though, I'm crap at that.

33 points game over

Make that 33 points. Bombers 3 goals in as many minutes.

 

That's annoying. We get first goal of the last quarter to get to within 15pts and they then kick three in a row..:(

Alright, score is irrelevant now, not getting blown away is far more important. Hopefully they don`t drop their heads.
