Not sure about everyone else but kicking a point isn’t advantage?

They should never call advantage so close to goal. Just let the team take a set shot.

Kayo having a mare. Just work dammit!

Is it crashing for you as well? I thought it was my nbn down at Phillip Island.

It's been flawless here for me. Maybe try restarting whatever device it is you're watching on?

Done that 10 times already.

Bummers will continue to run and gun. We need to get our hands on it a lot more.

Would be good if the midfield could play the whole 4 quarters without lapses in concentration.

Kayo working flawlessly for us

I've never seen Clarrie start a game with 2 touches in the first.

[layzie 33,808]

Fine start for Essendon they should be really proud of that effort. Draper scorching us in the ruck and if Petty is really hurt then they could really exploit that weakness down back.

Great kick from Melksham to steal one back before QT but these guys need a rocket up their behind.

We need to keep backing our ball movement because once we break the centre line the Bombers are very susceptible. Get stuck in and win more contested footy to shield the backs and we can easily get back in this.

If you take the advantage it is, miss the goal stiff 

We didn't take advantage, the foul was called after Grundy had disposed of the ball. Hard for Kozzy to know if he should kick or not.

Him and Trac need to really lift. Not good enough. 

[Gawndy the Great 9,011]

2 touches to Oliver, TMacc & JVR not doing much in looking the ball forward.

Damn. Hope it improves for the rest of the game for you.

Our midfield can be so lazy at times.

I'm 5 km from the Adelaide Oval and there's no wind at all, so I don't know where you are. It's not raining. In fact, perfect conditions for footy. BB will play. There won't be any changes for weather.

Might have changed your mind ..windy ..a bit of rain & no BB 🤔

Shocking defence efforts but very efficient forward line entries -  almost the opposite of last season -  our backs need to get head in the contest and mids work harder defensively 

[Garbo 1,534]

Mids need to get involved more just letting the bombers have to many unpressured entries fwd  

[dees189227 12,394]

Spargo, trac, Chandler & bowey  need to get into the game 

[McQueen 17,864]

Let’s hope the coaches have sorted some of that [censored] out. 

[Demon Disciple 12,129]

They’re trying to make it a shootout, we’re trying to make it a contested game.

Petty and Tomlinson stinking it up 

One of the results of playing Petty up forward for most of the year?

They are playing with a really high defense. Just have Rivers and Sparrow kick to space behind their last line of defence, get Kozzy, JVR and Milkshake work on ground.

1st 

fumbles very costly 

Bombers spare defensive across half back is very good (Scott 1 Goodwin 0)

Draper causing problems 

Oliver 2 touches 🤮🤮

Parish 13 disposals 🤔🤔

Pickett nearly dangerous 🤩

Fritsch 💙❤️

Good news is that they can’t play much better and we have much we can improve on. Not losing to those cheats in Adelaide.
