goal kicking. our age old problem

I love Clayton. but he killed that chain with another poor handball. he's not beyond criticism

no more complaining about the umps for the rest of his game folks

double 50. what a gift. suck it up essendon

Maxy has a point

ridiculous goal but we'll take it

Hunt has been decent so far

Clayton needs to get his head out of the clouds and mind on the job. Poor decisions costing us. Hoping he can turn it on for the second half

The negative: we've been rubbish The positive: we're somehow leading this game

very lucky free

Much better Dogga. Come on Dees. We're way better than this

Rubbish kick Fritta. What a waste

If not for May we'd be in real trouble

Earlier this season TMac nails that kick

Missed targets. Dropped marks. We're badly out of touch. everything is so labored.

We have to contest and bring the ball to ground in our forward 50

Dons are up and about. It's going to be a battle from here.

kicked to a 3v1 just now and missed a target completely earlier. He's out of form. That said our forward set-up not working first quarter

Kozzies delivery poor tonight

Spargo has to be one of the best tacklers in the league. always makes em stick

Essendon can;t pierce our defensive set-up. This game is very much on our terms. Just got to make it count

Nice kick Nibbler

I can't take Port seriously. Massive choke coming up by the looks of it.

Saturday afternoon. My favorite time slot. Afternoon at the G, a few beers afterwards and home in time for dinner

I want to see us set the tone for the rest of the season tonight. Pressure and intensity. Only area of concern for me is our forward set-up. We have to settle on a structure and focus on perfecting it through to finals. Essendon will be no push-overs. They're confidence is high. Delighted to have Viney back. He embodies the Dees spirit and fight. I don't believe we will deliver another lackluster performance while he is on the field. We'll respond to the Collingwood defeat with a proper performance tonight. Dees win by 30 points.
