Game Day Match Discussion - RD 7 vs. Essendon. Fri 25/04 @ 3:20pm (MCG) ANZAC Day

[sr36]

I saw it as they were good for one quarter, we were good for another quarter, the other half was an arm wrestle. Given both teams had 4 quarters to get a result but didn't just shows neither deserved to win. Which is generally the result of a draw.

I thought we had them, but went into our defensive kill the clock mode - which didn't really hold up last year.

Blue skies in south morang, where's this downpour from hell. Bring Cox back in.

Congrats to Jack Crisp on a wonderful achievement. He’s always there, he’s so consistent, we probably take him for granted. Hard to believe he was part of that horrific time when Dayne Beams left us and some - including me - thought the world was ending.

I could not have been more wrong. Thank you Crispy

He’s officially the King of (Steak) Knives

My guess is that Essendon will come out fired up, will put up a real fight in the first, may even have a narrow lead at quarter time. This board will explode with all the usual suspects flooding back to forecast our demise.

After quarter time we kick it up a gear and steamroll them for the rest of the match, cruising to a big win. And the usual doomsday merchants will slink off to the shadows for another week.

This is the only game in the next month I'll go in feeling confident! Going to make the most of it with my mood! If we lose I apologise and I'll go back to my pessimistic self! Come on pies make us proud !

No rain so far in Melbourne, so maybe it won't be as wet as anticipated.

See how the afternoon unfolds.

What’s the point of fly publicly saying how desperate he is to get games into Allan then playing him for 8 mins as sub and dropping him?

I've said enough about Mason Cox. He's on my icon, so everyone knows how i feel about him.
Now turn the subject to Ned Long.
Just love this young man.
He is illustrating the notion of Carpe Diem.
He is seizing the moment, with both hands.
Just love how he goes in for the ball without fear, and tackles any opposition player who might have it instead of him.
He has absolute clarity on what he needs to do, and acts accordingly.
Has a huge tank as well.
Looking forward to what he does on his Anzac Day debut.

He looks like Superman, chiseled jaw, a body carved out of granite, I fully expect him to fly one day.

To give us something to complain about. It's pretty slim pickings on the complaint front at the moment. He's got to give us something.

Best kit combo.

At Gate 3 already waiting for my mates to show up, just saw Peter McKenna.

 

[Kes1984]

Entered the ground. No wait for security. Pretty good spot. Last year took ages to get through and I only managed top deck.

 

[Matt_352]

Security just waved me through
