Cutler

Umpire put the whistle away

Several HTB , head high, HTM frees let go - result - C snap hitting post

C 95 - E 74

Q4 20 min

 

[84859300]

Sadd grabs the ball on the wing, in his new unrestricted - uncoached role. Runs and bounces - looks a million dollars and kick. Mark to Essendon.

This new role is working out a treat for the young man

 

[faible]

Hooker is back in defence at the moment. Guess he'll play either end as needed.

 

[The Prosecutor]

Cox would've had it 20-25 times and a goal. He's going to be a ripper.

 

[84859300]

Umpires whistles have gone much like the last quarter of a grand final - non existant

 

[faible]

Cutler receives a handball on our defensive 50. Nice acceleration and run forward. Carlton player comes at him. He panics. Launches a long handball forward well before any chance of contact. Misses target.

 

[84859300]

Big last 5 mins for Cutler - several touches - none going to us. None.

 

[JT_the_Man]

Lol Cutler trying to start something.

 

[Big Slam]

Cutler = hard man. Enforcer if you will...

Game Carlton 95 Essendon 74

Game Over; ESS 74 - CAR 95

Cutler gets in to a scuffle in the last moments with Cunningham. Not sure who won, or the status of the egg.

 

[faible]

Francis with ice on his ankle. Apparently holding his knee meant he has a sore ankle.

 

[Bjchan13]

Cutler was only just warming up

 

[7zark7]

Wow, Cutler is next level bad. If he plays a single game this year our list must be in an absolute mess.

 

[84859300]

Siren sounds - huge win to the blues

Crowd singing the "Da Da Da Da Das" Men crying, children being thrown in the air, memberships being removed from microwaves.

Gee they look mint for a great finish in 2021.

Bosses are being rung, as days off will be taken on Friday for celebrations of the huge win.

 

[rumply]

good to have some footy back, the young guys & new additions have given me plenty of hope, Ham & Guelfi looking more than serviceable, Waterman must have secured a spot on the list, Draper has me drooling.

 

[HollyValentine]

Biggest positives for me today would be cox and waterman, Caldwell was good too but I never thought he would t be.

 

[JT_the_Man]

A lot to take out of that.

Guelfi, Ham, Cox and Waterman all made a great case to play round 1. Cahill also looked superb early before fading out of the game a bit. Jones is a lock.

 

['51 Bewick]

Very impressed with Nick Bryan. He and Draper will be a gun pairing

 

[bennyg12]

What possy was Waterman playing?

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Didn’t see it but have heard a few good things, though Francis injury sucks.
