I thought Corey was pretty good round 1 and was unlucky to be dropped. His disposal looks clean which is something we lack and he was hard at it. Josh looks inboard a lot...we can do with more of that too Y'know, Swimmer, I also thought that the Wagners were go-ers, as well. It will be good to see them tonight, launching at the ball... 1
sisso 2,628 Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 I guess the only mild consolation is their ins are no better than ours

HBDee 376 Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 Corey Wagner very stiff to be dropped after round 1. Was one of the few who was having a crack and at least applying some tackling pressure up forward. Looking forward to seeing him have another go tonight. 2
Ethan Tremblay 31,389 Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 (edited) With the time delay it’s on at 4.50 here which is too early to settle down and watch the game so I’ll have it on record. At least I’ll be able to fast forward the bad parts. If we lose this game I’ll be prepping the microwave and putting on my Spider-Man costume. Edited April 5, 2019 by Ethan Tremblay 1 1 2

The sad part is I made decent money out of the loss to Port by backing both sides, we kicked the 1st 2 goals which triggered a promo payout and then my other bet on Port also won....saddest $200+ ever 1

Deeoldfart 8,201 Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 Well I'll be buggered ......... a H&A fixture on Friday night. How novel is that? Let's make it a memorable one Dees. Start our season rolling, and mount an undeniable case with the AFL for six Friday nighters in 2020. 1
Watson11 2,252 Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 Gloomy place demonland these days. About tonight. I can imagine what both coaches did all week. Essendon - Looked at the tape against Geelong and know we bomb it to 20m 9/10 times. They’ll have their defensive tactics sorted and have 3 defenders dropping back, and the others spreading to get outside leaving plenty of Melbourne players free (as we never take the best options) Melbourne - Looked at the tape against Geelong and know we bombed long 9/10 times despite plenty of free players in our forward 50. Directed to always take the free option. If we win contested possession and clearance (expected) and do what Goody is asking and take free options heading inside 50 we’ll win easily. If Essendon lose contested possession (expected) they need to pressure our mids so we bomb. They are a good chance if that happens. Hopefully tonight is the start of a turnaround.

I reckon Essendon will be more focused on fixing their own game plan than to watch the opposition. That's what I'm hoping for anyway. It'll make for a very average weekend if we lose tonight.

Lord Travis 10,819 Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 We’ve lost our past 5 matches now (Prelim, JLT 1+2, Round 1+2). That’s a bad form slump. We need to turn that around tonight or our season will quickly slip away as we lose touch with the top 4/8. I feel sick heading to the ground at the moment. I have no confidence we can get the job done and am confused how such a talented list can perform so poorly. FIRE UP DEMONS FFS!!!

Thats footy I suppose........ and I bloody love it 1
Bitter but optimistic 22,289 Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 Just heading in from Scumbury. Have an odd feeling of confused confidence. Maybe it’s the vibe from the happy looking group of dees supporters nearby More likely it’s because I’m horribly sober for this hour of the day 2
