Why did the Bombers on 3 occasions late on in the game try to play on with hand ball? They ****** it up every time. Had they shown more composure and poise under pressure they would have taken the four points. That being said, the umpiring was ******* atrocious. The game - bloody marvellous. The Dons with their 3 straight goals to end the first half made it a cracking and intriguing affair after it looked like it was going to be a blow out bore fest. The 2nd half was a pearler and one to remember, much like the historic first one in 95 and one's after that in 2009 where Zaharakis nailed the winner and the 1 point win to the Pies in 2012.
Dons you played good and have a 1993 Baby Bombers feel about you. I've picked the Pies from day dot for this years Prem and will continue to do so. But I have Essendon along with the Cats as teams who could play alongside them in the GF, and possibly beat them.
Dons could roll us next week. Good game by both today.
