Still in it. Take that.

 

[scythe]

We’re having a crack. Feels good.

Young guys playing brilliantly as always this year. Need to stop being so cute with the disposal in these conditions. Really hate how they seem to have the time and space to get away unpressured disposals. Besides that we had some good wins across the ground. Just wish Waterman had converted - chalk it up to nerves

 

[YEMOC NAYR]

Merrett is so ******* good. People tunnel in on disposals and goals for midfielders when rating them but Merrett defensively is as good as any mid. So many little 1%s.

Like the energy and what we're bringing. 4 quarters of this please.

 

[BackOnOurPerch]

Wow some negativity here. We could be in front with some luck. Liking our forward pressure.

 

[pepsi]

No more wine otherwise I'll lose it watching this. Great start I think. Probably should be ahead.

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Free kicks Ess 4 WC 2..waste of Lube? re apply at 3rd qtr break me thinks.

 

[fishardansin]

The way we dominated so much of the play, you'd want to see 3 or 4 goal buffer to justify the petrol tickets we spent.

We can see how the are able to get us out the back a lot.

I love what I have seen in this game re our future .. PERKINS.. HNNNGGG ... but I think we'll end up paying the price for not putting it on the board that quarter.

 

[Hird05]

I’m shocked at how well we’ve been treated by the umpires. Usually over in Perth I would expect none of those free kicks to have been given to us

Yeah I was thinking their cheque from the Eagles must have bounced

 

[WindyHillZephyr]

only two frees to Eagles at 1/4 time? heads will roll, or thing will change

 

[Donakebab]

Lots of pressure kicks. Mcgrath and Zac had a lot of those as well.

Yeah but Zaka is the whipping boy. He's been good in the contest imo.

 

[Donakebab]

Really glad they didn't have to concussion test Walla.

 

[Albertross]

Not a bad quarter by the boys. Tidy a few things up, too cute with some of our disposals, missing targets and our forward pressure seems low at times.

Fix that and we're better than an even chance.

 

[Pweter]

Hats off to Phillps. Unfortunately when NicNat wins a tap our midfielders are letting the wce mids run onto it but Phillips has nullified plenty, won a few and is doing ok around the ground. Need him to keep it up he has a herculean job ahead of him.

Zerrets bump that resulted in OOF. great stuff

 

[joey_jo_jo]

That is a bullshit call

 

[Dave]

of course

 

[Desync]

lame

 

[Donakebab]

Home town free.

 

[11kgm]

Of course that's in the back

 

[Beerfish]

Here we go..

 

[hoss]

Don't speak too soon. Wait to see what happens if the game is in the balance or the Dons get a run on and the Eagles need a momentum change. It will come.
