Jon Ralph is a disgrace:
1. Spent whole last quarter saying that Essendon coaches were cutting off communication for whole third quarter. Ended up being same for both teams.
2. Went with McStay having an acl, now saying pcl.
How does he have a job?
Was about to post about (1). Weasel Ralphy was all over it, adamant that Pies had an advantage. Even when he was told both had problems, he added that Bombers probably had it for longer. Turns out no, both clubs were equally effected. Quality journalism.
 
Unless the injury was as he was moving towards the goal line, and caused him to lose his feet, I don’t see an ACL mechanism for McStay. An MCL as the Bombers player fell across his legs makes sense to me. Fingers crossed.

Great three quarters of footy, but I feel we had a few passengers. WHE, Houston, Beau were all down. We probably lacked an aerial presence too with Howe fumbly early, Checkers mostly absent, and no Moore.

Good to have a strong win and still room for improvement, I guess!
 
Jamie Elliott soaks up one of his five goals.


The rain bends to touch him

More backflips than Dutton.

Wow Nick absolutely gets marked differently to others.

By far the most damaging player on the ground.
Would be interested to see his score involvements.
 
Annoys me a bit how much commentators always go on about tagging Nick.

Leaving aside whether it's effective (Lions worst Q last week was when they decided to tag), there is more happening in the game. Josh was dominating the play, but all the talk was about whether Nick, playing forward, should be getting a tight tag.

I guess the focus on Ablett was similar, but it would usually be once he was dominating a game, not constant discussion regardless of how the game is going.

it's not about who was necessarily best on ground

If Ned Long did what Nick did, I would bet my house he would be bog.

Marked differently
