This game has a distinct 80’s VFL vibe. Essendon vs Footscray at a regional ground with lots of mullets on the field.

Yep, not to mention the mud patch in the centre too 👌

Game being ruined by umpires poor decisions. 

In a grinding, wrestling game there are soft frees everywhere. 

Let them play.

Though amazed at the number of throws that aren't called.

The players seem to appeal everything, reminds me of cricket.

Nice pun.

I find it hard to feel any sadness for Essendrug.

The boos from bombers fans just sounds like the sweetest music

Its is just me or is Cody Weightman trying to become the most disliked player in the AFL?

I'm not even trying.

Brisbane wouldn't be unhappy watching these sides slog it out in the wet, heavy conditions.

Essendon young players are mostly over-hyped but Sam Draper is going to be a very good player for them

Weightman, umpires boy toy.

Bomber Blitz will be great reading tonight.

Dogs very lucky

Useless trivia:  Unless I'm mistaken, the margin in both games yesterday, and today's game at 3/4 time in each case was/is 19 points.

An Essendon supporter walking back to his seat had a tray full of beer in one hand, a cup in the other and was still appealing with the hands for insufficient intent. I would never risk one beer spilling let alone a tray pleading for deliberate.

Makes you wonder the psyche of some players. 
Same with Mathieson.
They know they look like flogs don't they.

Now who would have thought that would have happened.Thought I spotted Wallis Long and Sheedy out there but nay, it was just a Diamond Valley seconds semi at Preston on Sunday 

Essendon will be better for the experience. They were lucky to make it to be honest. Dogs still horribly unconvincing. I think Brisbane will waltz into the prelim against Port. 

I can’t help but like Mitch Hannan. Always seemed like a good bloke but he wouldn’t be in our best 22 now

"Start a biff."

"Poor, poor team selection for wet weather…"

6 free kicks to Weightman.

As much as I thank Hannan for that goal in the EF he would go missing for large chunks of matches.

Not without a haircut, he won’t. Just ask Luke Jackson. 

So many free kicks in front of goal for the Bulldogs. 

18 frees to 12 in favour of the Dogs. 

So looks like Sydney the only higher ranked time to lose this weekend.

Oh, hell. It looks like those nice boys from Windy Hill are going to go down to the horrible Footscray team. So long since they've won any final. And they've had more scoring shot s and everything.

So, pretty reasonable then…..
