How's the heart rate @WalkingCivilWar???

[demosaw 983]

Essendon are a bunch of ruck-knuckles.

I might of spoke a lot of [censored] as how we defend without the ball but the end was a magnificent result. Rapt.

[Lexinator 1,651]

Haven't seen Goody pumped up like that after a win for a while, happy for the man!

Not really, much like the rest of the news, it depends where you choose to get your opinions from. 😅

Indeed.

I expected we would win.

So certainly not against the odds from where I sit.

[Dr. Gonzo 24,032]

Essendon are pretenders, their gameplan will not hold up in finals. Unbelievable run so far, still beat no-one other than the Giants when they were in a massive form slump.

[YearOfTheDees 3,266]

well done by everyone involved at the club. Great planning and carried out to a tee.

[Demon Dynasty 17,109]

That's as good as any win this year with No.22 doing his best to get the Peptides back from the death.

22 should be sent to the country leagues and never heard or seen from again.

Thoughts on the non selection of a ruck?

That was bizarre umpiring in the last 5 minutes.

For example the bombers throwing the ball all night and they pluck one out of nowhere against rivers.

 

Plus the Kozzie 50 meters - his many more times did that happen but no penalty?

[praha 11,225]

We lost 2% after leading by 41 points.

Also the fifth most accurate quarter of all time. 10.0.

Thanks to the AFL ring masters and their dodgy fixture that's set up to manufacture preferred outcomes and the finals pecking order.

The umpires tried to snatch it in the end, but no dice!! 

GREAT WIN! My takeaways:

- I think we saw a rebirth for the team against the Lions. Great pressure for the whole game. Intense. Belief.

- The kids are the future. Disco kicking big goals, McVee’s skills in the wet, Kozzie doing things only he can. Rivers continues to step up. Windsor had another cracker. Great vision and speed. Kolt, love his grit. 

- WITHOUT Trac and Gawn. No axtual ruck. This is our character. 

- The bombers are FRAUDS and CHEATS! I’m glad we helped to show them up and help them back down the ladder (although their soft draw will continue to help). 

- How good was Langdon?

- How missed was Melksham?? 

Great night, always love beating these mugs. Only disappointment was not winning by 40+ but I can live that that. 

HERE WE COME!!!! 🔥💙❤️

Huge Win Kids

1 game off 2nd

we can still have a big year…..

The Plan worked 

[Heart Beats True 1,141]

There are some great young kids in this team that are showing up a lot of the older guys. Great for the future.

[BDA 22,520]

Magnificent win. Great to beat that mob.

some great kids coming through. Future looks secure.

 

[Dee Zephyr 19,252]

McVee, my goodness.

[layzie 33,576]

A gutsy win. So proud

[Dr. Gonzo 24,032]

I had a great feeling about this one coming in but didn't want to mozz it. Even without Gawn our pressure game has really lifted the last couple of weeks and playing the kids instead of NQR journeyman has given the team a real shot of energy/enthusiasm. Plus Essendon are flakey, they crumble under pressure.

Dunno how we'll go for the rest of the year but if we keep getting games into the kids, keep giving midfield minutes to Riv and Koz and keep giving Roo more time up forward with Melksham and Fritsch I think we are in decent shape moving forward.

Sweet win.

Lost the clearances.

Lost the tackle count.

Kick count

Hit outs 

Marks

Inside 50 s too

But a sweet sweet sweet win.

Oliver and Anb really stood tall in the second half.

Shout out to Disco as well.

Kozzie nice 100.
