Which were mainly off the back off JVR workhorse performance and our mids working around him. Petty was absolutely horrendous tonight. Even Goody acknowledged that by throwing JVR into the ruck into the second quarter that turned the game for us. Our own senior coach is pretty much admitting that Petty was pretty much ordinary in the ruck.

McVee.

My only negative is that they subbed the wrong player off. How Bowey kept playing when AMW was actually playing well is beyond. Bowey is a huge worry for me moving forward alongside Petty and Sparrow. Judd McVee out marking Lance Whitnall was the highlight for me on too of many others of course. Kid is a serious talent.

Against the odds! Well done lads 🔵🔴

You've got to be kidding me.

Put these [censored] to the sword!!

Yea lads!!

One more quarter lads.. we've got then on the ropes! We look dangerous going inside 50 so the more entries and pressure the closer we'll look to the knock out blow.

Bowey matching up on Harry Jones?? Can't be having that.

His kicking is actually ridiculous.

Our ability to wrestle the momentum back has been first class tonight.

Great first half lads! Our pressure and tacking intensity is up. Conditions is suiting us more then Essendon. Essendon are incredibly soft and don't like the contest work. One more half to go boys!

Take note of JVR work in the ruck so far @BigBadBustling This is exactly what I wanted off Petry.

You are absolutely missing the point of my discussion.. have another go. The issue is not starting Petty in the ruck, its the fact he hasn't given a yelp at all when in there. Some od his efforts were ridiculously soft.

Trent Rivers is an absolute machine!

Melky..

Well according to Simon he is tonight over an actual ruckman we have sitting in the 2s. I'm not asking him to turn into Max Gawn, but some of his physical efforts have been [censored] poor.

Because our mids are working overtime for the pathetic performance is dishing up in the ruck.

Sparrow, Oliver and Petty all on 1 disposal each. Seriously...

Please get Petty off.. he's getting slaughtered.

Please get Petty off.. he's getting slaughtered.

Draper is absolutely smashing Petty in the ruck and giving their mids first use of the footy.

Defence just don't want to defend tonight it seems.

Weather check?

Rather it be a rain and wet weather game. They're not a big contested based team and do rely on that outside game and overlap. Also brings their talls down a notch.
