Essendon $251 to win. Anyone brave enough to put a sneaky shekel on the Dons?

Do the bookies know who they are playing?

Ugh another goal on the siren.

Luckily we have a good lead. But we need to play like we did in that 2nd quarter. 

Funny reading comments online from essendon fans that are saying how well mitch brown is playing and how essendon de listed him and they get stuck with daniher who has done nothing. 

 

Given Daniher's combination of appalling set-shot kicking, general inconsistency and the dreaded osteitis pubis, I was staggered they delisted a tall forward with demonstrated 2019 goalkicking ability.

Here we go again - coughing up junk time goals.

Thoroughly enjoying this game. Best performance all year. Well done Demons.

Opposition is ruuuubbbissshhhh though.

Gorgeous collect & pass there to Hunt from Kozzie.  Sublime.

Sam Weideman handballing to Jayden Hunt for the certain goal is one of the best things I've seen in recent weeks. Weed hasn't kicked a goal in a long time and didn't need to give it. Much respect. 

It was a selfless percentage play for sure - a tougher kick on the run on his right foot at that angle vs Hunt in perfect location - my heart was in my mouth from Weid's heavily weighted handpass but can't complain about the result!

Much better 2nd quarter. Oliver kicking the ball now and is 100% efficient, viney not trying to take tacklers on and just getting rid of it, fritta kicked a goal and our backline going ok. 

Joe Daniher statless

Mitch Brown looks good leading up  

Ouch!

Surely they can bring Brad Green on a casual basis down to the club to teach our forward to kick goals. He was the best goal kicker I’ve seen in my life. Natural, relaxed, could nail them from everywhere. We need some of that. 
 

And he trained with Manchester United!

5.2 to 2 behinds - great quarter Dees.  Can we be ruthless and really put them to the sword in the 2nd half?

Langdon tackles, player drops the ball - incorrect disposal - free kick?  Noooooo. [censored] off umpires.

Hibberd in the rooms - what happened?

I am so happy with what Petracca has become.

BETWEEN THE BIG STICKS, FRITTA!!!

Our centre clearance work is pretty good right now

Nibbler :-)

4.5 - thank heavens percentage is not an issue.

Brown what a mark after losing his feet :-)

Jeez we are lucky they are so terrible - out on the full there.

Edit: ...and made them pay beautifully :-)

So knocking the ball out of hands is holding the ball now?

Such horse****.  And he was taken high not paid at the earlier centre bounce. 

Goody down on the boundary again.  Good to see.

Much better Oliver.  Looking forward to Fritsch's behind here.

Smith on Danners does anyone see a problem

Could get ugly

Every quarter of every game for as long along as I can remember. Let's show how limp brained footballers we can be and give up a scoring chance in the last minute. I guess that's what bottom 8 teams do and that's us. 

I'd bet my house that if a tally was done of last-minute-of-quarter goals against over the last few years, we would be miles ahead of the rest of the competition.

I thought Weideman had a really strong block of form in the middle of the year. He's been utterly useless in the second half of the season. He gets pushed aside by the weakest of bodying. 

Without him taking grabs or bringing the ball to ground, our forwardline obviously doesn't function.

Oliver's disposal by hand was shocking that quarter.

Essendon look thoroughly ordinary. We should win easily, but we find ourselves a few points down. Hopeless.

I may be recalling incorrectly, but he seemed to perform better alongside Jackson.
