AFL Autopsy Pre-Season Game 2: Geelong vs Essendon, Kardinia Park, Saturday 06/03/2021 @ 7:10 PM AEDT

[MiguelM]

At least the players seem to be playing for Rutten.

The images of Woosha on the bench smirking with nobody engaging with him, now a distant memory. No more learnings bullsh*t.

 

[Zach Package]

Gotta be happy with the intensity of the game. Scott would be livid, their defence leaked like a sieve

 

[JT_the_Man]

No mate. Redtime goals.

No red time goals = we win.

 

[Shane Heard]

no mark paid in defence
10m kicks paid
soft free-kick to Miers led to final goal
player ducking into tippa free against us

Forget it mate


Our ball movement when free was superb


Draper is a gun..midfielders were aggressive

Good times ahead

 

[Megabattimus]

So do you reckon this will be our line-up for Round 1, assuming Stewart's alright? If not, who do you reckon comes in/out?

 

[MiguelM]

Some really nice signs by all the played. Even though it was a practice game, shame we didn't win.
Was noticeable we had more talls around the ground, Jones mark.!
Merret was everywhere, 37 disposals!

With reduced interchange & longer quarters the Talls will have big impacts this year.

BZT is the obvious one I guess.

 

[Harlequin]

No red time goals = we win.

We kick straight = we will

 

[JayJ20]

We will destroy the Hawks.

Nah Hawthorn look good.

 

[JT_the_Man]

We kick straight = we will

Also correct.

 

[BuffDog]

Wonder if anything happened to Shiel, had ice on his knee for a bit

 

[JT_the_Man]

Nah Hawthorn look good.

They played Norf.

 

[scythe]

No red time goals = we win.

Or convert 2 out of 18 behinds.

All that’s missing is Jake at FF

Relax mate. It’s a preseason hit out.

You can crack at it them if it goes on during the real stuff.

 

[Drummer_19]

Pretty good hit out. Had some nice link ups in the midfield and the pressure was good all night.

 

[MiguelM]

All that’s missing is Jake at FF

Is Stringer any chance for round 1?

 

[SherbertLemon]

No injuries?

 

[windyhill]

Ahem, it’s not all about geelong foxfooty

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

* Hooker is a big barge arsed unit. Made Blicavs look like chicken little at one point.

 

[TheFrenchCut]

9 contested marks between Wright, Hooker and Jones.

 

[DapperJong]

We have a game plan wtf

 

[Megabattimus]

No injuries?

Stewart had hamstring awareness and sat out the last quarter. Everyone else got through okay.

 

[Bjchan13]

Its refreshing watching us play in a loss but still have so many positives come out of it. The pressure and effort was excellent, team defensive structure looks like its improved. Minimal 'WTF are you doing!?' moments. Bryza/Draper duo could be absolutely lethal in a couple of years.

 

[JayJ20]

They played Norf.

Also played Bulldogs too. They've been decent. It'll be a close game.
