Game Day Round 2, 2019: Essendon v St.Kilda

[StCicatriz]

anyone got the gps stats?

The club should be compiling a list to present to the AFL with the words PLEASE EXPLAIN

I counted 4 last week that either cost us goals (Long) or gave them goals that we’re just horrendous calls. This week they probably haven’t cost goals (Lonie aside, Webster maybe) but they are just so horrendously bad. If there was drs in footy this is what it would be for, the true howlers it just seems like we get 4 or 5 against us EVERY game

Did Gary just call Jack Lonie Ryan? About 11 years late there... I can see how he would get confused, both of them being 6'3" and all...

I detest the rushed behind rule, it allows umpires the discretion to give away a goal. No Discretionary rules ( and there are way too many ) should carry a goal penalty.

The Lonie rushed is about the only justifiable one in that bunch but again, that happens twice a game every week and we get called for it.

We need to get Stuv into the game fast

Within 9m and under pressure is the rule.

Pressure acts are the key also right now. Saints are outworking them and must continue to do that. The first two goals in the 3rd quarter and they will be just about done.

 

[gringo2011]

Don’t see why we’re complaining, that was a definite deliberate behind.

Gotta hold strong in the second half, don’t fade like we did against the Coast!


St Kilda and proud.

When was the last time they have payed a free for deliberate rushed behind though. It was borderline at best.

 

[Kildonan]

Bruce, Newnes, Membrey, Ross, Dunstan, Parker and Lonie all doing well

2nd Q Gresham, Marshall, Webster, Lonie, Bruce and Newnes all doing well

 

[gringo2011]

getting absolute monstered in the hit outs

That's to be expected though.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

If we can clean up a few things we can win this one.

This is a stressful way to start the day. It's not even 7am yet [emoji2962]

I will have to get a few hours sleep after the game, then I'm at Old Trafford this afternoon.

 

[bird_man]

The Lonie one was there. Unfortunately he had no idea if anyone was behind him but the fact there wasn't gave the umpire no choice.

Great first half. Exciting, pressure based footy like 2016.

Hope we can continue with it.

Carn the Sainters!

Gresham is criminally underrated by outsiders; that spoil and rebound from defence, the run in the middle and his goals under pressure in the forwardline. Absolute champ.

 

[VDS66]

Lonie pretty much had the square to himself. That was fair IMO.

 

[Brains Trust66]

hope we can keep going , glad its indoors as its raining here .
the commentators biased towards Essendon that quarter , lets hope we smash em in the second half

 

[Jaxsons]

Don’t know why Kent is in before Ben Long

Jlt series was good

Interesting. We are well above in sprints but they are well above in distance

 

[bennymc7]

Our wings are killing them..

Billings, Newnes, Lonie, Sincs all playing well

 

[Jughead77]

It's like a morgue where I'm sitting on Level 1. Lol. Love it.

Have a look at the ladder, end the season!!

 

[George]

When Kent snapped that goal it was almost as good as sex.

Easy targets as usual

 

[StCicatriz]

sinclair needs to do more. he's barely touched it!

 

[Brains Trust66]

how was that not a free to Webster during that quarter for a high tackle , got paid against him . We seem to have had some terrible calls against us yet again.
