Game Day AFL 2019 Round 17: Essendon v North Melbourne, 4:35pm AEST Marvel Stadium

[HTPunter]

Clarke has been surprisingly good

If he doesn't get signed I'd like North to pick him up. He"'s no world beater but watching Sydney v Carlton with Aliir rucking it's important to just have a competitive ruck, with Goldstein, Campbell, Xerri only I want an option as depth and think he's better than Campbell.

* the coaches. Everytime there is a high scoring start to the game they try to kill it.

Don't bitch at me about all the misses. The style of play from Q1 to Q2 was stark.

Way fewer set shots because they reverted back to the rolling scrum and the goals were coming from that fast break s**t.

* * * the coaches.

 

[Back One Out]

Huddo just said Essendon have 9 wins coming in to this game and North have 8

No, they don't. The Cheats have 8 wins and North have 7.

The football commentators are utterly useless these days. They can't even read the ladder right.

 

[Kangapirate]

That deliberate out of bounds lol..one of those you expect the umps to give when you're playing on the other side of the country.

What a piece of crap Cunnington is. Dyl Clarke owning him so he starts throwing punches.

Punching the ball? And he's Hardly getting owned

Really no excuse to have the midfield dominated today. Still in it but got blown away last time once Essendon used their chances, so can not let the general play dominance continue.

He fists the ball though..if he gets rubbed out for that the game is down the toilet.

Afl live stream app working for anyone?

Can’t get it going either. Heard the same from others all over the country. Not sure what is going on.

 

[boncer34]

Been a good game. We're battling hard against the odds here.

Wouldn’t say owned, quietened him a bit still has 12 disposals

And merrett staged

The tenor of your post implied that the free kick count is immaterial, and doesn’t necessarily have to be even, or even close to even ( which I agree with ). Feral Essendon supporters on Anzac Day begged to differ.

those don fan's protests were about the missed frees on the ground, they had little to do with the count needing to be exactly the same. The post I answered highlighted the bombers were 4 frees ahead, as if that shows some sort of bias

He's useless at AFL level. Don't get fooled by big hitout numbers at VFL.

That just means he's lucky. I doubt he wanted to punch the ball. Usually the ribs of an unsuspecting opponent is his style.

 

[Back One Out]

I’m pretty sure Cunnington is just ******* dumb. After all the s**t already he is still swinging an arm like that?

Absolutely nothing in that.

Cunnington swung his fist at the ball in Merrett's hands - I think he might've got it too, but the ball didn't dislodge.

You're just overereacting to Merrett throwing his head back and trying to milk a free kick for high contact
Maybe you should stop being so ******* dumb

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Team that prides themselves on dirty acts are surprised when the free kick count goes against them...

 

[Chaisa]

Glad to see the big clashes live up to the hype.

Because they didn't know the rules about prior opportunity. Maybe 1, 2 max of the 5 highlighted decisions on ANZAC Day were incorrect.

Did absolutely nothing that quarter as we wrestled back ascendancy.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Lyon doubling down on Cunnington at half time. Nothing in it, you goose.

 

[Great8]

Nothing in the Cunnington incident. Ball first.
Both sides having a decent crack but we lack the polish to finish. Need the umps to stay out of it on the second half and let both sides just play football

Lyon going all out to get him suspended

He was clearly punching the ball. Get over it softy.

Good game so far.
North have the run of the green and being dirty flogs, decent effort by the Dons to still be in it.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Dons will win. It's been decided.

Came for the umpire sooking, staying for the umpire sooking
