Stephenson is to blame for that last goal.

Had the perfect opportunity to lay a tackle within our forward 50 but didn't extend himself in the early part of the chase.

Does my head in when our forwards do that as it happens all to often.

Wasted multiple opportunities that quarter to bury them because of dumb disposal going inside f50.

Essendon now back in the game.

Once again we open the door for a team in the last 5 minutes of the quarter in a game which, on this occasion, we've basically dominated for the entire first half without getting the return we should have to essentially put the game away.

I'm hoping one day we can get this "we're far enough ahead we can relax a bit now" out of our team psyche, but somehow I doubt that will ever happen.

He and a few others haven’t laid a tackle. Next to lift the intensity.

Stephenson is interesting. He has reported elite speed yet rarely runs away from anyone and doesnt apply much f50 pressure. He is on borrowed time.

I'm furiously refreshing my AFL Live app for score updates on the free wifi at Narita Airport in Tokyo. First time I haven't been at Anzac Day in years!

Give it to me.

How are we looking?

Inaccurate again, ....or a lot of rushed behinds?

Inaccurate. Bombers have got 3 from really tough kicks. We really haven’t kicked any of our tough chances.
