Strong body work by JVR in that last minute

The centre bounce dominance is magnificent

Seems that way

At last AJ !!!

Johnson mmmm ????

Lovely play

Much better third quarter. Made to look good by Richmond not packing their backline

Nice connection ending in Jeffo goal

Definitely better in the third quarter. Smart play by Johnson

Not really a useful game for development of the gameplan due the howling gale. Tigers packing the defensive 50 just makes it worse. Only caught the last ten minutes. Forward 50 delivery unimaganitive Will watch the second half

If we don't win it won't be pretty. Tigers and Eagles are the 2025 easybeats. Let's win for Essendon !!!

Wouldn't you My only worry as a Tigers supporter would be Tasmania stuffing up the draft but if they go first pick this year and trade out another 28 year old for a low first they'll be set nicely for a rebound in 2-3 years

Gov't has a requirement of a "commercial return" on assets. Included in that return in some instances is a "social return". There's a lot of water yet to flow. At a minimum we will need to pay for our share of the ground staff, car park etc etc. Then there is the rent on the admin building. Why would that be subsidised?

They are the main tenant and the driving force for the complex. Don't underestimate the compromises they will ask for including a reduced ground rent or similar that we will need to make up.

We seem to get an injury a week this season. Doesn't explain our woeful year but it's hard to build consistency

Hell I thought it might be at Punt Road and was thinking of dropping by but its at Windy City aka Casey

I was scratching my head over that one too

Was it pressure or a bad case of the fumbles An almost comical last five minutes supported by the Fox commentator with every cliche known

Jefferson should plead for a go in the ruck plus a chance to play up the ground. If Petty becomes a full time forward Jefferson will always be behind JVR and/or Fullarton.

Finance wise it's end of this season that is the clincher. Not hard to engage a wannabe coach on a slightly deferred salary plan and avoid the "luxury" tax. Last thing we need next year is weekly speculation over the coach. The good thing from a future gameplan outlook is that at least SG is taking the team along a pathway consistent with modern football. Becoming obvious that success requires forwards who can gain separation be they small or tall. Not sure JVR or Jefferson fit that mould. Strangely enough Fitsch does but he needs to improve. Not really expecting much from 2025 but I'd be happy with tenth just to upset the Bombers

Nice to win against Freo Let's do the same against Collingwood and I can live with 2025

It has been a long time

After expecting so much from a strengthened Casey this has been a woeful performance. At least in previous weeks you could see the germ of a gameplan. This week it was back to the boundary style of previous years

He does get it a lot but I'm yet to see him do much damage with the ball. Saying that he's tracking better than Woey and Brown

Perhaps we train too close to the Storm. We seem to love the up and under kick
