AFL Toast RND 5: Gather Round And Get A Load of This

[Yoda_]

Best thing about that was the how desperate we were to win every loose ball. Thats the dees strength and we blew them out of the water!

I mentioned that to the wife during the game. They came hard about 5 mins into the third and we held firm. Was probably the best thing about the game today, we had resilience we haven't seen in years..

Are we… not shit?

Brad Scott has our zone defence looking AFL standard for the first time in 10 years.

I didn’t buy the grand final guarantee this year

Durham the man leading the way in that regard.

Do you think he'll get suspended? Was watching at pub with no sound but he did look like he collected a bloke in the head

When did we start winning games in the rain?

 

[TheWeapon]

For a team that has been allergic to rain in the recent past to beat a contested side like Melbourne is a great win
Everyone went in when it was their turn

hahaha Essendon fans behind the Foxtel couch acting like yahoos

Are we… not s**t?

minor blip, should be back to usual programming next week

Some of the best footy we’ve played in years. We actually out toughed a top 4 side.

 

[scyth]

Well that was just a little bit of okay!

I was blown away by our composure, it seemed like there wasn't a single disposal that didn't have some rhyme and reason to it. Pretty damn jarring to see an Essendon side with a proper wet weather gameplan too.

I'm going to get a bit arrogant and say the scoreboard flattered Melbourne in the end. We were 7 goals up when we put the cue in the rack and the umpires got involved.

Setterfields number aren't high, but 10 tackles and 5 clearances...again, it allows Shiel, Parish and Merrett do other things.

There's much more to say but for now...thanks Carlton ( never thought I'd say that!)

 

[Alberto_Magnifico]

Don't like this Start to the season, Scott better not involved with any blokes called Dephen Stank or The Machete

[windyhill]

Match up well with them. Took a dodgy non free v Tippa to beat us two years ago, took a Weed performance of his life to roll us last season. Cop that you cocky campaigners. They showed up expecting buisness as usual and we bit them on the arse.

 

[Zach Package]

A complete and utter full ground mauling.

Melbourne defence an absolute shambles. The World Trade Centres on September 12th looked more structurally sound.

 

[PressureCooker]

Felt like the most mature win as underdogs we've had in a long time. We didn't rely on manic pressure or individual brilliance like we would have had to in the past. Just 23 blokes executing a plan and wanting it more in the contest. Great performance.

I dunno, I’m starting to believe in Brad. Don’t hurt me Brad

I think he got him on the shoulder. Would be nice for a replay to confirm this though.

MCG next week will be pumping.

He was wearing Oliver like a glove

2nd on the ladder… truly amazing
