Man I can see why Essendon supporters were bemoaning the selfishness of their players after we played them.
Merrett(?) wins that free 60m out and instead of hustling back to get it inside 50 he struts back in slowmo wiping his hands as if he's having a shot from 10m out. Then finally turns around once he picks up the ball to kick long because he's given Sydney time to flood back.
Essendon not learning from Gold Coast way to beat us is go man on man and clog the corridor we will attempt the corridor kick more often than not and turn it over under good pressure.
Commentators selling players out for 50/50 contests or split second bumps like it's a Gaff-Brayshaw king hit behind play is s**t. Guys like Darcy need to just leave it at "probably get looked at" or something similar.
Essendon can't play hawthorn every week. How bad do they look? Afraid to put their noses over the pill, afraid to apply anything that resembles a tackle.
