Game Day Round 1: GWS v Essendon, Sydney Showgrounds, Sunday 24/3/19, 3.20pm

McKernan can't take a mark. Francis can't take a mark.

We have 15 marks to 28. TWENTY EIGHT. Need to slow the game down and run a bit harder. Get the butter off our fingers

Francis took a great mark. Only one that looks likely.

McGrath got out ran by the gws dude after they went to ground.

Richmond's slowest player would have won that contest. Mindset. Intensity.

Please never play Langford again . Shocking player.

 

[JayJ20]

Midfield is actually doing well, but we can't seem to kick a goal from midfield dominance.
We seem to go back to defence to score.

I know I said no Whipping Boy 2019 but I have to reneg!

Ambrose is ****ing shit

I'm glad we didn't pick Parish and Laverde. They'll learn a tonne watching Baguley and Guelfi get amongst it.

Oh he's taken 2 I think. But as a team it's letting us down and I saw him miss one right before I posted.

That was a nightmarish combination of rusty and pansy. Team needs an absolute spray if Worsfold has it in him.

 

[Kakkle]

Hey ref you know you could call this thing now and we can all get home in time to see Melrose Place.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Mitch Brown looks like an umpire wearing Essendon colours.

This. Need to give them a rocket.

 

[daffo]

Well that was depressing

 

[TheGrizz]

Not playing smart footy at the moment.
Bombing it in long and missing targets by hand wont beat anyone, let alone GWS

 

[EnolaGay]

Well, it was a pretty awful quarter from us, so there is definitely upside. The lack of run and effort from some key players is worrying.

If we can clean up our first touch and lower the eyes going forward we can turn this around.

Shit start, but beneath the garbage there is a lot to work with. Smashing them in the clearances and stoppages, and 14 inside 50's show we did move it forward enough, just need to clean up the kicks and lower the eyes instead of bombing it on top of the forwards heads.

Not a good quarter by Pidge, rushed and clumsy

Don Air podcast Zaka mentioned the spray they got after one particular game last year. So someone's definitely spraying them, at least sometimes.

Essendon winning clearances but losing uncontested. Can this be rectified?

Doesn’t bode well if GWS start to at least break even clearance wise

 

[jellyfish]

Did we forget to do fitness??

No. Too many pea-hearted players who pick and choose when to turn on the intensity. Happens every year.

 

[windyhill]

Keeping us in it

 

[eth-dog]

Dumb Baguley

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

McGrath can’t stop the Perryman

Heavy training load

Think they've got it right with Bags over Laverde. Lav could def never live up to this level of veteran presence and production.
