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

[Lance Uppercut]

 

[Dixie Flatline]

North Melbourne cannot buy a free kick this quarter.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

There’s a payback for you. No mark there.

 

[Ron The Bear]

Holding the ball was reasonably well adjudicated last night but is back to 2019’s putrid standard here.

 

[Le Grille]

There’s a payback for you. No mark there.

Brown?

 

[Rod Stroker]

ANOTHER softie that leads to a shot on goal.

 

[Sir_Loin]

If players are playing outside the rules they should be suspended accordingly, unless you're not a fan of physical footy?

Did you even read what I posted? Where did I say it was outside the rules and players should be suspended?

 

[kaiserchief13]

Umpiring the difference so far

 

[Rod Stroker]

Zurhaar takes Hurley out of the game with a fair bump.

 

[Rod Stroker]

LOL! Another soft one.

We just won't be allowed to win this one.

 

[Stax on the mill]

Kangaroos being well and truly reamed without lube by the umpires. 15 to 8 in Bombers favour. Some of the decisions directly leading to Essendon goals have been disgraceful.

 

[Adz]

So dominant. Essendon should be 20 goals up.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Brown, holy s**t that would have been awesome

 

[compact72]

Very good game

Essendon getting the rub of the green

Essendon run and Saad is a pleasure to watch. Wonder how they'll go with 2 men down in the final qtr

 

[Back One Out]

Free kicks: Ess 16, NM 8

Bombers failing to capitalise on their free kick dominance

Only 1 goal in front

Glad that neutrals are seeing it.

They can't win on merit.

 

[giggler99]

That's how you thread the needle.

The other 3 out there will lift for them

 

[gavaniacono]

Stringer!
Great game.
Still time for another momentum shift.

 

[Great8]

That kick was a thing of beauty

 

[Acinath]

Glad that neutrals are seeing it.

They can't win on merit.

Their pace is killing you.

 

[gavaniacono]

Shiel's skills, and mental fortitude, are very poor.

 

[Ron The Bear]

Glad that neutrals are seeing it.

They can't win on merit.

To be fair they’re all over North. Need an Eagles-type fadeout.

 

[EasternTiger]

Brad Scott's game plan would never have conceded this many free kicks.

 

[compact72]

The other 3 out there will lift for them

Meh. North aren't trying like they did in the 1st qtr.

Bombers keep trying. Hurts me to say it, but they're playing well
