AFL Toast Round 21 - Win v The West Coast

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Don't think Goddard looked 100% - down on haunches at one point. Not sure what, but not 100%

Had the trackie top on at half time.

 

[The Dustbin]

Mark Baguley was enormous all day, playing well above his height and winning most one-on-one contests. Dempsey's tackling is officially better than Kieran Jack'.

 

[eth-dog]

Once Melksham went off we started hitting targets, just saying

Melksham didn't kick the ball at all, just saying.

laughed at Brendon tonight...grumpy at everyone...telling the whole team off...and making a truckload of errors himself

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

When Melksham dropped the mark when were streaming down fwd was the end for him.

He was was utterly tripe! Trade the you know what! Merrett comes on...we win!

Yeah

Watched him closely at HT was hanging out the back doing his own thing and not getting involved with his team mates.

I'm not saying he was good, but how the * can you blame him for not hitting targets when he didn't even kick the ball?

How about he works harder and gets the ball, the best moment was when we subbed the useless one off.

 

[Tassieboy]

After being so negative about our umpiring run, tonight we were very lucky.

 

[Harlequin]

Hubby is a West Coast supporter ... it's been a good/quiet night

How was his response at the umpiring tonight

 

[rines]

If Jetta has his papers stamped.. then I don't see how Melksham still has his. He has been really poor all season. Just disappointing after we all thought he turned the corner last year.

Anyone know when Gleeson will be available for selection?

He didn't actually watch the game as he was at a local SANFL game but he didn't talk to me for a while after he got home haha

Don't you just love those nights?

That's the most annoying thing about him,maybe he doesn't respond well to Bomber as he would with Hird but still needs to pull his finger out.

Merrett coming on was not the main factor in our comeback. He was good, but Winderlich, Heppell and Zaharakis in particular were far more instrumental than Merrett.

Gleeson played VFL this week iirc.

 

[Autobahn]

Apparently, 11 will be next weeks powerball number.

"Essendon won their 11th game of the season with a score of 11 goals 11 behinds and the Zaharakis goal which put us in front was scored with 11 minutes and 11 seconds left to play."

 

[Doss]

I'm rather hoarse.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

I'm rather hoarse.

lol

Came down from level 3 at HT and managed to snag a seat behind the EFC cheer squad was losing my s**t when we made the charge in the 3rd.

 

[Sanj48]

Absolutely loved Jobe's reaction after the game, made the win so much sweeter.

 

[Kakkle]

That first half was so putrid. Holy s**t. Must've been the worst half of football we've played all season (worse then St Kilda).


Good game to be at live. I enjoy beating the Eagles.

 

[BomberWatson]

It says a fair bit when that wasn't even our best win against that mob in the past year or so for mine (mind you, sandwiched in between was probably our most disgusting performance against them ever outside of the 'Lecras' game).

Games against West Coast either make me feel really good, or really s**t afterwards. It looked like it was going to be the former, but turned into the latter, and boy was it satisfying

This makes for great reading. From when Winderlich played on and got tackled by McGovern.

Couldn't believe the amount of times we just bombed the ball to a West Coast defender in our forward 50 was pulling my hair out.
