MIA: Sidebottom, Lipinski, Schultz, McCreery, Quaynor, De Goey, Cox, Howe, Crisp.
Missed and irreplaceable: Murphy. Frampton is no substitute for what Murphy brought to the defence.

Played well enough to win but just didn’t execute finishes like we usually do. Draw was a fair result. Those saying we deserved to lose are just petulant sooks. We were better than Essendon but they were just cleaner. Fair result.
Just like the cat,
Play with the mouse.
Let it go and then hunt it down.
Over and over.
But just like the cat playing with the mouse, when it’s eventually eats it it always leaves the arse alive!

Man Elliot running in circles instead of kicking it to Crisp blew it

Didn’t help taking off the one guy that can win one.

It is hard when we are second to the ball. Both teams had multiple chances to win. Brodie twice and Billy. Glad Langfird choked. So many passengers. Concerned by the repeat offenders. Loved HH's quarter. Naicos brilliant. Pendles and Darcy M were huge when needed. Glad we didn't lose....

No run out of the backline. Quaynor has been abysmal this year. Seems to be out of position, can’t stick a tackle, isn’t giving us anything from half back.
Age has caught up with Howe I’m afraid. Has lost some strength and is struggling to keep up.
McCreery needs to be a 15 possession player.
I thought Cameron was good again today.
I would have moved Hoskin-Elliot up to the wing and Sidey forward given neither were getting near it.
Harrison needs to be starting next week.

Exactly my thoughts on the matter. Is that not what they actually do?

Got smashed in the clearances all day. Stringer was allowed to do what he pleased in the middle, poor coaching to allow that to happen. Elliot marks that ball we win, although Essendon should have taken the lead. But Checkers, 2 misses in the last were terrible, as well as the ones he missed early.
Draw not a terrible result.

First bit and first nations war personnel mentiin. We are all one.
Feels like a loss, but Langford kicks that easy set shot, and we're getting 0 points. Take the 2, and move onto next week....

Reckon Sidebottom 7 and WHE 4 is a bigger worry.

Sidebottom had the same. That's a more telling issue given their relative positions. At least whenever Creery was near the ball he looked half a chance.

A loss would've been devastating after all that so I'll take a draw. Need to sort out our first quarter efforts, I know Fly's game plan involves conserving fuel for the last quarter but starting off 5+ goals behind is hard to claw back two weeks in a row.
Don't know what was happening with many of those centre clearances. We had talented players in there but looked like witches hats.

Parts of our DNA game are building and you can see we still believe in the process and the boss.
Giving away 6 goal head starts regularly at the moment is annoying.
Two different styles on show today with Essendon wanting to kick mark short and wide compared to our run and gun corridor.
Our clearance game is the area where this team can really obviously improve to elevate us back again.
The rest of our game held up ok today when you consider the smashing we had in clearances.
It was evident today that a few of our older guys looked real slow in chasing ground or loose ball.
In the end it was what both teams deserved.
Langford had a chance to win it
Mihocek two out on the fulls in last
Elliott missed the moment to kick for a result too after Langford miss
Harrison had an impact when he came in and was involved in the last so this is also a positive.

Where were our winners? Checkers maybe?
Merret, McGrath, Parish, Martin all killed it for them. Langford kicked 4 and choked on the winner.
We had and gave nothing.
The umps were poor all day but saved their worst for us.
They had us 6 goals to 1 and yet we were essentially level by HT.
After all this they still failed to get over us.
Pretty conclusive.

McCreery has done nothing all season and is part of the future of the club.
At least Hoskin-Elliot was BOG last week.

No, he didn’t. You’re just lying because you’re in the midst of a tantrum. God forbid anyone go out of their way for Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander people!
Been floating around disinterested all season. Being dropped hasn't helped either. He's not tuned in and he's not the only one. He & Mitchell would be dropped if we had two more capable midfield players to come in but our depth is not great. And let's not pretend that Fin MaCrae is an answer either. Something need to change up with our midfield mix but it might be next season.
