Autopsy Dogs smash the Bombers: 137 - 33

[ScragCity]

If you have to have a perspective, may as well make it a doozy. Even the worst player in the league can out palm English.

Doesn't really take any skill to get first hands to a ball, its 99% about size. English is simply still too skinny to be competitive in that area.

Funny stuff on Essendon's AFL website start Instead of match highlights vision which is normal after any game.


They have vision labelled "Hot Start"

Saw this today and had a good giggle

Start of 4th qtr:

Slobbo wearing his beanie and scarf and all huffy and puffy fanboy on 360.

Zero mention of us playing well or not allowing the Dopers to play well.

Didn’t expect much more really.

I hope the dopers get belted by Freo and destroyed by Collingwood they deserve nothing less.

 

[Floridog]

Was just browsing at the Freo board. It seems they were REALLY cheering the Dogs on to get to 24 in a row. They may have been more disappointed than the Dogs fans when Tippa kicked that second goal.

Replay about to start on Fox

 

[Runk]

I felt like I could pinpoint the exact moment in the third quarter when , Ralph Wiggins style, we officially broke the Bombers players’ hearts.

Can confirm. This definitely happened.

I know we often question the selection of Will Hayes, I suspect that this vision may gave an insight into why the mc are pretty keen on him.

21! Go easy on yourself...

Currently watching the game again.

Paul Roos "This is the 2nd match I've watched today. The Bulldogs look like a quality AFL team By comparison Essendon, Melbourne and Collingwood look VFL standard (paraphrased but that was the gyst of it).

 

[immortalmike]

What an excellent win. Can't fault a player.
But special shout out to Macrae for having pings at goals. Makes him even more dangerous.
Even the lesser lights fired like Hayes.

I do have one note of caution however. Essendon were lower than VFL level. They were embarrassing. I'd still feel more comfortable with Libba or Caleb playing than Hayes. But I'm also hoping he proves me wrong.

Pretty good day for the Hayes family. David & Ben win the feature race at Flemington with a $25 shot and Will plays easily his best AFL game.

Stringer's hit on Dunkley was completely fair. If it was the other way around we'd be plauding Dunkley for smashing him. That's footy. Come back with the flight and expect a hit.

only thing String did all night

 

[A1Delivers]

Dunkley would be 2nd in the coaches votes had he played the first 6 games in the midfield. Superstar despite his kicking, which has improved massively in the 2nd half of the year.

may look awkward, but effective and lots are from congestion

Just watched the replay. Couple of quick thoughts:

1. Richards’ start was superb. Really helped get us going.

2. Lipinski played great. Very strong in the contest and clean with the footy.

3. Contest on the wing very early where Naughton and Schache were outnumbered and competed in the air, then won it on the deck. Awesome from 2 young talls.

4. Tippa’s field kicking is sweet.

 

[Dry Rot]

Any truth in the rumour that the mad Sydney stabber today is a Bombers fan who's had enough?

Some Essendon supporters behind me at the game were talking about Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti leaving the Dons to play for Western Bulldogs? I couldn't work out if they were just being funny or not. Could there be anything in this, e.g., his contract expires at the end of the season?

Watched the kid closely he ran like that all night thankfully he got rewarded on this occasion. If interchange numbers come down again he’ll be a great asset. So happy for him...

I heard this one over 1 month ago. Apparently we are interested and so is he. Would fit into our forward line perfectly

Hayes is probably second only to Hunter in terms of covering the ground.

If he is under contract, what price would they ask? It would be really high, I imagine. Tippa's a top notch established player but if it is going to take our main acquisition resources at the end of this season, I would prioritise other areas, such as an established CHB or FB.
