If Taberner can be the consistent and contested marking beast he was today our forward line could be very dangerous!

I love the great man Pavlich but Taberner was never going to be a focal point while he was in the same forward line.

Balic and Grey continue to show good signs. And Brad Hill continues to make me eat my words about how good he is.
 
So pleased:

For the result,
For Tabs game (I've backed him many times)
We even got a good run from the umps

Negatives:

Ibbo, Spurr, Sutcliffe
poor game plan, poor forward structure until the bomber tired. They were hitting targets far better than us for most of the day

Three talls in the forward line. And he was the #3. And of course, he took his chances.
 
I like grey playing in the middle , he speed and handball is pretty good.

Kersten could have kicked 5 today as well. Will be hard for opposition to keep all 3 down. And it was the first time they played together, so still a lot of improvement in that forward setup left...
 
The Russians have General Winter...we have General Unseasonable Heat

Got to be realistic, Essendon have had a fair run of games with little turnaround. Any good footy side would've run over the top of them in the second half. Just glad we managed to do that and get another win on the board. Tbf there was also a noticeable shift in the 3rd quarter before they started to flag and a lot of our boys stood up and lifted their games while the intensity was still in the contest. Our work around the clinches improved dramatically (Fyfe, Neale and Blakely in particular) and we actually had a semblance of forward structure which surprise surprise, made our forward 50 entries more potent. Kertsen and McCarthy improve every week.

I refuse to believe that was Matt bloody Taberner out there clunking 7 contested marks. Huge game.

Small note - props to BHIll for almost a kilometre in metres gained. He'll probably warm down with a half marathon tonight.

Taberner has just made it easier for the other two next week.
