One thing that hasn't been mentioned and was the absolute highlight for me. Tom Sparrow's game saving tackle on Jake Stringer in the centre. Essendon had momentum and Sparrow stopped him right on his tracks.

Bring in the other Brown then. McDonald has not played a decent game since the Port Adelaide game last year. Can't continue to carry a bloke that's had zero influence.

Glad you mention this. No one will say this from an external point of view but James Jordon role on the wing is very underrated. His work rate and defensive running is off the charts. Did a lot of unrewarded running and held his width well. Harmes, Sparrow and Rivers were all good tonight. Hunt not so much for me.

Told you all that Weideman was a good selection pre game. Nah jk I put my hand up. That was like Weideman of the 2018 finals series. More of that thanks. Tom McDonald on the other hand is depth now. Casey. Whatever it takes. One game I'd rather forget and move on with the win.

Told you all Weideman would be a good selection tonight.

Weideman, Petracca, Fritsch and Co. This is absolutely on you for missing those easy shots early on the game to get us going. [censored] idiots

Urgh Joel Smith....

Trac more focussed in running through blokes instead of giving off the first option. Gawn has gone MIA. McDonald is so cooked that he's struggling to to get to a contest from a speed point of view. Once the ball hits the ground he's a liability. Viney, Jordon and Oliver our best mids so far. Harmes sloppy for the 3rd week in a row. Both Kozzie and Spargo need to pull their finger out. Have not once spotted them at the drop of the ball when we've entered forward 50. Both giving us nothing. Backline doing a superb job.

We should be 30 points up. But no, once again our forward [censored] the bed when the opportunity presents itself. Our backline is saving our bacon and doing a tremendous job down back. Hope Steven May absolutely gives our forwards an absolute spray.

Horrendous game of footy. Full time pro footballers missing goals dead in front is seriously inexcusable.

McDonald is cooked.

Toby Bedford is the sub.

No one legit wanted him. I too want him to have a great game tonight, but 6 years in the system for very little return doesn't stack up well. The biggest weakness for him is confidence. He's so down on confidence and has been for 2 years now. The biggest worry I have of him coming in tonight is that he's not coming in on good form and his confidence low from having a poor game last week. Dropped easy marks against lesser opponents, poor body language, poor 2nd efforts and defensive work. It wasn't a good look last week Talent the there, mental strength isn't unfortunately. Going off this logic then Van Rooyen should be playing because he was far superior then Weideman last week. Coaching staff wouldn't throw him into the wolves so early which is good, but watching the whole VFL game last week he's imo behind a VFL ordinary player in Mitch Brown as you say, and an 18 year old forward who hasn't even played AFL level. Weids confidence was shot last week and it was very evident watching him play.

Lol... On last week's VFL form I'm seriously perplexed how Weideman gets a game. He was so poor last week and his body language was woeful. Went from being quite confident for tonight to now being not confident at all especially with this selection. Reward form, not by name.

2000 and 2013.. Enough said.

No surprises which is a good thing. But, Jake Melksham getting named emergency is genuinely taking the [censored] right? His VFL performance last week was woeful. Absolutely cooked.

Well you'd think if there was a Blake Howes debut we would have heard by now..

Yes

It was his left knee

Good riddance

Jeff Farmer??

Goody confirmed that Lever and Hibberd will miss again this week.

Why?

Doubt he plays but this shot was from today's training. You aren't wearing footy boots kicking a footy around if you are not close to playing. Hopefully hes back playing competitive footy in the next week or 2 at either VFL level or AFL.
