Depends which Melbourne shows up, strong 4 quarter effort means we should push them

Hahaha I cracked up when I heard Walsh say that, your best player danger got smashed In every sense of the word. Tex your captain was soundly beaten despite his goals You never got your system going against a side who finished 17th last year at your home game We take our chances and we probably won that game. Claps for phil.

Reckon bernie might get looked at for a couple of bumps? Start brayshaw on the field and swap frost for michie or grimes

Jack has been better this year, not great today but his work rate has improved.

Umpiring was awful. Danger takes three Melbourne players out of play with an unrealistic marking attempt that got nowhere near the ball, and he didn't even put his hands up to mark resulting directly in a tex goal, apparently that sort of thing is within the rules. Watts dropped mark was huge, he marks that and it may have saved 3 Crows goals at an important time, maybe the crowd shuts up a bit and jesse and jeff aren't as put off by the crowd

I like the aggression by our boys! To become great again every other team needs to hate us and hate playing us.

How good has bernie Vince been? Love him getting into danger!

For sure, he's a quality ruckman, clearly an area we need to improve. If he didn't cost us much is jump at it.

Nathan jones is a far better leader/ captain than Ablett imo, not in the same league as a player though. He is very good but Gary is something else.

Too top heavy, frost needs to either play a key post or be replaced by a genuine runner imo

I'm sure his off field influence and experience has been huge for the club, and he is a good bloke but he frustrates the hell out of me, he's paid big dollars to take marks and kick goals, he's not doing either, and I get out delivery isn't fantastic but hogan is already averaging 2 goals a game at AFL level, I hope Dawes can lift his game and start having a more serious match day influence consistently

Toumpas is also 21 Dawes is what 27? Reckon 6 extra years experience, 6 pre seasons and 6 years of good coaching probably makes a slight difference.

F$&@

He did just give Jeremy Cameron an absolute bath in a game where he had enough quality inside 50's to kick a bag against a lesser opponent, he exectued the basics beautifully and consistently and for mine is playing the sort of footy chip did in his AA year

Tommy Mac vs tex should be a fantastic contest

I just hope brayshaw starts, give the kid 3 quarters he's already winning his own ball and making an impact

We have been chasing Dylan Shiel hard over multiple seasons, fair chance we go again at seasons end

Hogan is a little stiff I think

Michie would be smashing the door down imo

I think the reason roosy didn't put a man back was because he wanted to see if the team would respond, we simply needed our Mids to get their hands on the ball and they didn't/couldn't

I flat out refuse to go to or watch any game the Essendon football club are a part of, I don't believe the result of the tribunal reflects the truth in any way, shape or form.

Winning the bluey easily at this stage

We seriously lack speed through the midfield it's so one paced. Jkh in and Kent to play on ball

I'd drop Dawes

I could honestly say not one of our leaders stood up and set an example today It was jack Viney, Jesse hogan, Tom McDonald I was particularly disappointed in the amount of finger pointing. any positives that came from round one are now buried, until this team can work hard for 4 quarters consistently we are just going to dish up the same old thing over and over
