Wow what a game to attend! Best game ending to a game I've seen live! Great crowd and atmosphere.
Although it amazed me how many people at the start of the game couldn't find their seats. We spotted ours straight away and had people blocking our view for the majority of the first quarter.
Anyway onto the game:
- shouldn't have been that close. Checked all the stats at 3qtr time and we were leading in everything except the thing that keep them in the game that was goal accuracy. Should've been up by way more. At no point until five minutes to go in the 3rd did I think Essendon had control of the game.
- Towers needs to be dropped, played a stinker. Don't care if he tries hard. Was at a point where I was screaming no if it looked like he was getting the ball.
- knew straight up Buddy had lost confidence in his goal kicking when he passed one up to Kieren Jack (thought that was a goal aswell). Needs to sort that out and quick.
- that last quarter of umpiring was disgraceful .
- can't remember much else due to the beers but overall we finally had luck on our side and got the win so yeah.
Also if you haven't seen it there's a video on Facebook of Rohan's mark and goal to titanic music. It's really a work of art.

Bellchambers had a fistful of Naismith's jumper at every single stoppage, and never got pinged once. Only fair we get away with one per game.

I was yelling about that all match

Could someone explain to me what Naismith got pinged for against Watson?
Looked like a bump to me but maybe I was sitting at a wrong angle and thought nothing was in it. They didn't show a replay either but it cost us a goal.

Lance Franklin may have had a bad day goal-wise of 0-6 but his marking (especially that pack mark), tackling, field kicking is beautiful to watch.
Now for his 2nd home ground of the MCG

Half the audience switches off the moment the final siren goes. The post-game isn't especially valuable advertising space (though it's better than nothing), and had an average audience of about 300k (that declines in a pretty linear manner over the hour, regardless of whether BT is roaming or not). Sponsors wouldn't be too concerned, I wouldn't imagine. The post-game bunting isn't where the exposure is.
I'd imagine Citi/QBE were happy with this...

Mills look genuinely baffled by what's happening next to him.

Me too. Only criticism I have of him is that it's pretty clear based on some of his commentary over the past couple of seasons that he's highly critical of our club's recruiting of Franklin.

What about the 4th Quarter free against Naismath for "blocking" Bellchambers as he went back, eyes on the ball to take a contested mark? SURELY that was no free!???
I lost it at that point and would've been done for 2nd degree manslaughter (not murder) if I'd of been at the ground.

Any guesses which way they voted?
