AFL Round 2 - All The Other Games

[AmericanAFL]

I don’t think Australians often get up before beer o’clock which falls at about 1:00 PM on weekends

You’re really trying to get me to visit.

Huge game for the bombers today, it’ll be panic stations if they somehow lose to the saints.

Are there ever any noon games in Melbourne?

Closest you’ll get is a 1:10 on a Sunday our time and 1:45 on a Saturday.

A winnable game for the Saints but yeah Essendon should respond and win this quite comfortably. Looking forward to seeing what this game has in store.

It’s because of the Thursday night games. They seem to be dropping one of the Saturday day games intermittently for it.

They kept this Sat arvo free for the AFLW grand final. And then scheduled the match for Sunday arvo.

Great work AFL.

Haha, you can see the meeting ... "This will be perfect, as long as Adelaide don't finish top ..."

 

[TheCount]

Yeah this scheduling is ******* up my universe. I'm sick and just want to lie on the couch and laugh at Essendon and St Kilda play poor football, and instead I'm getting shafted watching the horses I back run third with No Third Dividend

 

[TheCount]

Jesus ... these blokes are professional footballers? The skill errors early are embarrassing.

 

[Bluelegs]

This game is amazing so far.

One of the classics.

I'm not sure if St Kilda have steadied after the nervous energy has passed from the start of the game, or if Essendon have just dropped their intensity after maintaining for a solid 10mins

When the ball bounces around from stoppage to stoppage as it did in the first 10 minutes eventually someone gets loose and kicks a goal. After that Saints gained confidence and Essendon have lost any they had.

Dons got really lucky the Saints forwards weren't expecting the ball to come in so quickly when two blokes ran to the bench instead of standing the mark and letting old mate play on.

Should be a 30 point lead to the Saints right now, but they're also crap and can't kick straight.

 

[Bluelegs]

Lol their supporters are booing them.

Omg that moment was amazing. I've never seen anything like it.

 

[TheCount]

I can't figure out if I'm horrified at the quality of this game, or really enjoying it because it's Essendon the 2019 Top 4 certainties.

Given how heartily I laughed at those two behinds, it would seem its the latter.

 

[blitznu]

Can't wait for next friday night. we go in with everybody saying we should win it easily then bam typical Melbourne loses the game we should win.

Nothing is surer.

 

[TheCount]

Good thing they got Parish straight back into this team after he proved himself in the VFL last week ... his 2 disposals have been vital.

 

[Bluelegs]

With Hannan and Garlett injured we could really use Kent right now

 

[MarcMaverick]

Essendon TF are you doing?
Poort TF are you doing?

 

[Jamurp]

You think back to that horrible loss to Essendon 5 or 6 years ago and how bad the situation with our club was, but fast forward to now and we’re in a good place coming off finals wins last year, while Essendon are looking in strife.

 

[Bluelegs]

Kent having a great quarter.

Funny you should mention that I was watching that match ad nauseam out of sheer morbid masochism.

 

[Bluelegs]

Think I've said this before but this Essendon side reminds me of us under Dean Bailey.

 

[Toump Ass]

Essendon board gameday thread is wonderful viewing.

 

[Bluelegs]

Saints just got penalised because Essendon don't feel like chasing hard enough, lol.
