Essendon vs Port Adelaide - 1:10 PM AEST - Etihad Stadium

[fishardansin]

8 touches? How does a mid not being tagged only get that many times?

 

[Greasyrhys]

Just outplayed today, I expect us to bounce back on Saturday & hope to get revenge in the last round

Port is far too soft to win the flag, don't apply enough pressure and have no composure when the heat is on.

Their decision to recruit soft cook front runners watts /Motlop and Rockliff to an already flat tracking team will see it blow up like Brisbane did under crazy vozzy- now I wonder where he's coaching these days

You can't punch the ball away like the Essendon player did after danihers goal. That should be a free.

 

[fishardansin]

Drives me nuts. Learn that rule in Auskick!!!

Great effort by Stringer to seal it - GOTW for sure

The Port player grabbed his shorts as he was gathering it back from the bounce. He didn't bounce it while be tackled.

Maybe this game will finally end the midfield rubbish he was playing.

For the good of football god I hope so. Excitement game winning machine inside 50 who will win Essendon a game a month, rushed and reactive everywhere else!

It was a free 100%

In what world is Rockliff a front runner? He averaged 26 touches a game at Brisbane of all places.
You really don't know much about football do you.

 

[Power Raid]

finish it off watts

 

[fishardansin]

Surely this is it now. This is surely the end of Port winning a flag talk.

 

[Power Raid]

a decent effort there

 

[twiggy4PM]

That's 2 minutes of crap football all round

 

[HBF]

Port have had so many chances in this game.

He's a stat paddler mate , nothing more , most minimal impact per possession player in the league... he had the run of the show up at brissy , now he's in a midfield where he's not the main man and it's shows
Will be the most underwhelming recruit this year

 

[twiggy4PM]

Ball game. Port are cooked

 

[fishardansin]

McGrath is so quick of mind. You could see he was going to throw that on the boot and then saw a player out the corner of his eye and pulled the kick. He is similarly quick with hands around the ball.

 

[Power Raid]

great running by the dons

 

[HBF]

Thats game for sure now.

Tbf it was really only their supporters who brought into it.
The rest of us knew exactly what they were and always have been -flat trackers

Not the wine!

wine is one of the most over rated things on earth

 

[HBF]

Merrett staging?

 

[The Joker]

It was a free, but dont act like you got shot...

 

[twiggy4PM]

It was high but Merrett went down like he was shot. Glad it wasn't paid.

 

[jimbob12]

Merret should get done for staging. 3rd or 4th time today he has dives forward or "staged"
