Essendon dominating, about 65% time ball in hand = 1 goal 4 behinds. Dogs looking pretty much all at sea for most of it = 2 goals 1 behind. If Dogs get their game going (no guarantees) they will romp home. Bombers re sprinting and kicking and doing all the stuff but look unable to captalise. 

Because they have no one who even resembles a key forward

I know it’s a small thing in the current climate, but gee I wish the AFL would demand consistency in the camera angles and heights at all AFL grounds.

At smaller grounds the angle is much lower and so as an audience it’s much more difficult to judge the distances in kicks and between players. It makes for a completely different viewing experience.

With 95% of the audience of games not at the ground (hence the value of the broadcast contract) the least they could do is spend 20k on scaffolding and make it visually consistent.

My hope is for an Essendon dream run that gets them into the grand final only to come up against a brick wall that in retrospect everyone agrees that no one was beating that year.

Either that or for them to never win a final ever again. Either option works for me.

I love the thought of this but geez, wouldn’t wanna run the risk of the worst happening.

I'm glad we didn't have to play in Tassy. 

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

The Bulldogs look awful.

 

[Jaded No More 68,903]

Jesus the Dogs are soft. Lazy two way running. Absolutely disappointing in every way. 

[bobby1554 1,244]

Ha, the boo is back!

[Dee Zephyr 19,267]

Lucky Weightman and English are out there today for the Dogs.

[Demon Jack 6,907]

That's a terrible decision against Draper.

[Jaded No More 68,903]

Umpires as per usual giving the Dogs the game. What a disgrace. 

[Maldonboy38 6,400]

Bulldogs defensive running is appalling! 

[Demonland 72,155]

Bulldogs are honestly the most blessed team when it comes to dodgy umpiring decisions their way. 3 goals from frees. 

[Queanbeyan Demon 6,843]

This game will be decided by free kicks.

[The heart beats true 18,123]

Bombers supporters are booing, and as an impartial footy fan that makes me happy.

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

God i am so sick of these Essendon fans booing evrytime the opposition has a shot at goal regardless of how they won the ball.

Such a loser mentality is hard to fathom.

[Nelo 813]

Can’t stand the bombers supporters. They boo  every decision. Seem recall them constantly doing that against melb too. 

[Demonland 72,155]

Neither of these teams will beat Port in Port.

What’s up with the red stuff on Draper’s hands and shorts? 
He looks like Jules and Vincent from Pulp Fiction after they blew that guy’s head off by accident! 😳

If it means Essendon lose another final then I’m all for it.

[BDA 22,743]

I can see Weightman becoming one of the most hated players in the league

Assume it's the paint from the forward 50 lines. Max had a blue spot on his head last night.
