First to 100, yay!

 

[windyhill]

Nice, that papley kick went straight through the middle.

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

 

[TheGrizz]

Transition defence is abysmal.

So many reactive ball watchers through the middle who are paying no attention to opposition players around them

Defence stands no chance at this rate.

 

[scythe]

Love Zach getting vocal with the boys.

 

[rumply]

Overall I’m happy with the first 5 minutes,

[Knighta21]

lol papley you little rat

 

[rumply]

I can't believe we're

ftfy

 

[Old man fletch]

Essendon win the centre bounce clearance and can't deliver cleanly inside 50. Sydney transition the ball cleanly from half back and mark it inside 50 for a s**t on goal. Rinse and repeat

 

[The Airing of Grievances]

Mcgrath has beaten him to be fair.

Well he's had it 12 times in a half, hate to think what happens if he gets on top

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Goldy only played limited time. Is he going to ruck the game out, Drapes subbed and Davey unleashed?

 

[Happyskeret]

ftfy

Have a sook.

How is this still a thing?

 

[JayJ20]

Durham and Setterfield completely transform the midfield. Great call shifting Durham.

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Setters makes us a lot better.

 

[MiguelM]

Like to see Stringer in the middle for first 10 minutes of the 3rd.

Need to tighten up on Papley, Heeney.

Setterfield been good.

 

[fishardansin]

Great to see a big improvement from last week, but so frustrating that the turnovers plus lack of transition defence leading to nearly all of their scores ... and lots of fumbles killing our forward movement.

 

[MiguelM]

Who is our sub?

 

[Call Me Cake]

ftfy

Time to choose a different team mate.

 

[bommer16]

Who is our sub?

Davey

 

[Blind Turn]

I’m enjoying the… edginess to our play. Long may it continue. I’d be happy for a few more uncompromising lead-up marking attempts that wipe out a stupid kamikaze Swan.

Sometimes players have to take responsibility for their own safety. Throwing yourself into the path of a 200cm giant is on you.

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Who is our sub?

Alwyn Davey Jnr,

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

I'm enjoying the unsociable element

 

[sameolds33]

We've played better than the Premiership Pies so far. Can we keep it up?

 

[rumply]

Time to choose a different team mate.

yeah nah.

If you think that defensive effort was acceptable then you have a low bar.
