We look the better side, work rate is very high.

Very whistle happy tonight aren’t they? Viney needs to lift tonight

Yze, Williams combo now the favorite according to SEN

I wonder what the mindset is with several players taking sideways kicks for shots on goal even when in front of goal. I find it strange mainly because they have been working on their kicking with Choco a lot this year.

He was tried there a couple of times yesterday but he is just not getting his hands on the ball anywhere at the minute.

Unfortunately covid makes it impossible to just turn up and a lot of older people who aren’t tech savvy find it too hard these days. We tried to get a group of friends to go but found it very hard to organize seats in n the same area . I went with my son but it would have been 5 or six of us if we were just allowed to rock up.

We have three glaring problems. 1. Our starts 2. Centre bounce clearances 2. No presence up forward/ forward connection If we don’t fix these up before finals we won’t pose a serious threat.

Out Pickett, Sparrow , Petty in Bowey, Declase Weideman

It does worry me a little that we haven’t smacked anyone yet and been beaten by two lowly sides.

I’d try something different with our forward mix and replace ANB with Brown, because even though he is a good pressure player he hardly troubles the scoreboard for a forward. Chunk for Sparrow who can consider himself unlucky as he hasn’t done much wrong , but doesn’t t get enough of it for mine. Jones will be an upgrade. Bowey the Sub, been really impressed with this kid. Skillful, works hard and good decision maker. Vandenberg looked good today too and just might work his way back into this team as he gets his fitness back.

They are such bad sports. On the train they were jibing Melbourne supporters , saying stuff like when was your last premiership?, and, you guys aren’t good enough to win it this year . They we’re hurting and it made the win so much sweeter

6. Lever 5. May 4. Oliver 3. Gawn 2. Petracca 1. Salem

Essendon supporters are the biggest whingers on the planet . Feels so good to beat them.

Richmond just don’t seem as hungry this year or as fit. A Saints win would be good for us. If we can win and Bulldogs lose to Weagles over there which is highly likely we can go two games clear of anybody

Essendumb

Viney can run with Merrett, Harmes to Parish and Hibberd on Stringer should get the job done.

Still no official announcement even though 7 news have reported 25k last night

Especially when we are having such a good year and we don’t get to fully enjoy the experience. Heres hoping it gets back to normal by finals

Essendon’s home game so they’ll get most tix. Most likely something like 15k Bombers supporters 5k Melbourne 5k AFL MCC Corporate

Only 25k allowed reports 7 AFL

Lever is a standout

Well done Hannan, been in it quite a bit tonight.

Nope, I think exactly what we all feared happened, and I hope we are better prepared next time the tactics used by Adelaide and Collingwood get used by another team in the finals.
