Alex Neal Bullen on 0 disposal.. Not good enough!

Yep DA ..nothing much to get excited about there . Bombers unlucky not to have that goal awarded. Dees need to get going

3 possessions between Hogan and Dawes. WTF

Derm called it well, the dees forwards are all flying for a wet ball and spoiling each other.. Stupid football really (seperate and hold your defender away or at least hold your feet)! Poor 1st quarter so far. Hopefully we play better than a vfl team next quarter

How to beat Roos:

Step 1) Put a loose player in defence.

Step 2) Win.

You'd think we'd learned from the Collingwood game. Even before the match the 3AW commentators were reminding Roos about how easily Oxley cut us up. What the actual frack is going on?

No real Desire to win there. They seem to be getting behind the ball so every time we go forward they have men back. Dawes and Hogan don't look like marking anything.

Need to come out 2nd qrt with aggression - run and spread!

terrible play so far from the dees definitely need a rocket at quarter time. the game is there to be won

My god Eddie is annoying..

"We've had some weather so far..."

Errrrrr......

We've been poor with our entries inside fifty.

Have to give credit to Essendon their plans are working, much like the NAB cup game.

Players behind the ball. Frustrate our entries though long bombs.

Howe, Dawes and Hogan need to separate, all jumping at the same ball allowing Steinberg and Gwilt to drop off.

Big test for Roos right here right now. Coaching points to Hird clearly ATM.

Barring injury need JHK to replace a tall when subbed.

They'll give it another quarter and see if we're still too tall in our forward line. Clearly what we're doing now isn't working in these conditions, so pull the sub trigger with Dawes for JKH at halftime.

Howe, Dawes and Hogan all going up in the same marking contest is as dumb as it gets when they have a spare behind the ball.

What the actual frock is that?!

Boring as batshit and horribly unskilled

It's gonna be a long afternoon and we will lose

That's the spirit!

Viney needs to seriously work on his kicking

yeah i thought...Gus has ball..ok.. Viney has it....wtf

Gawn - 18 hit outs. Dominating. Reckon we will wear this mob down.

No working structure in the forward half whatsoever. What the hell is ANB trying to take a screamer for every time the ball comes in? He's an extra in the contest which means that they have an extra at ground level. We are playing right into their hands.

totally agree...dumb footy atm....need to divide to conquer

On a side note, I cant handle seeing Howe out there.

Continues to not care to do the hard stuff.

His man is having a huge influence clogging up Hogan's space.

Wish Roos was tougher sometimes.

Cross going to Goddard, finally.

3 possessions between Hogan and Dawes. WTF

If going by the afl stats, a lot of players aren't seeing much of the pill (both sides), it's just that their major ball-winners are getting it a lot more than ours.

We're definitely playing to their gameplan atm.

Cross to Goddard.

Great mark and handball Dawes!

Starting to work now.

Well done Dawesy.

Gawn and Vince are doing as they please.

Did Dawes just mark a ball?

Great play Dawsey

Terrible kick from Jones. Should have hand balled it on.
