Jvr does get angry. In fact it's cost him several weeks off It just doesn't help his game . And winning or at least playing well sure makes for a sunnier weekend.

Tried his guts out all day

I have maligned Petty as a fwd all last year and I think most of the time it's been justified . But today he was a different player. Heaps of confidence. Lease well. Kicked true. Read the play very well. It's early days given his efforts last year but he could be the difference. And if one of Jvr or Fritta could come good. Who knows,?

Tmac take a bow.

And there we go. That miss by Freo would have been a dangerous point. All over now. First to 100. Sing the song loud fellas. Our first win but it still sweet

We are in trouble here. Next goal wins

Atomic wedgie in reverse by Rivers. Play number 326a.

The fwd line pressure has been good today and it makes a huge difference.

Kozzie is all class. Reads the play and bounce so well.

Just knew Max was never going to kick that one.

I like the the was a good you think.

Loving these junk time goals going out way. Like old times. Petty FOUR.

Yep

Tracca only good at snaps. Terrible set shot Too much thinking music.

STRUTH....on track to kick over 100. What gives?

Haven't we missed someone like Kozzie adding five goals a week? And maybe Petty can play fwd going fwd. He failed miserably last year but today he's been good. Is Sparrow tagging? And I don't know what's Bowser did to prepare for this game but by golly he's been great.

Not always pretty but we've kicked our average game fulltime score at halftime. I'll take it. Some great individual performances ... especially Bowser. Back to his best.

But he redeemed himself. And shame on the poster that mentioned junk time goals just recently.

Laziest handball by Tracca.

Bowser on track for 44 disposals. Not too shabby

It's no wonder Fullerton isn't selected after that shot at goal. But some decent signs today all around.

Great goal by Tracca That kick by Fullerton reminds me why he's never selected

Not sure if your being sarcastic. But if you are about the fact that they manhandled us, I would not say that was their( Essendon's) fault, Sir. Our players are grown men and seasoned players, so if anyone is to be blamed for them being manhandled, I would strongly suggest to start there. Anything else imho, is just making excuses. And poor ones at that I'm not suggesting for a second that you are BP, but anyone who does, is a complete fool. Enjoy the game.

A fwd line that struggles to accrue 60 points each week with a back line that concedes about 100 points each week. And a midfield that plays like a group of headless chickens ....we are still a good chance to win.

I never thought I'd ever say this but thank you Essendon. You have given us the chance to get out from being the worst club in the league points wise at least. Go Dees. And I hope Fritta enjoys his time in the magoos.
