[ant555]

He took 98% of the mark just had to finish the job

Story of his career thus far

 

[marcmurphy3]

Commentators getting a bit excited over D'Ambrossio, possibly semi-errect. Has 20 disposals to half time and playing well.

Zerk-Thatcher is solid in defence.

Surely he gets elevated next week if he keeps this up?

 

[andleanback]

That 42 bloke makes plenty of second effort’s

My favorite part of his whole half was when he made a mistake and gave a looping handball that Carlton intercepted. Instead of just standing there and bemoaning the mistake like a lot of our players do, he put his head down, gut ran and was there in the back 50 to help mop up.

Elevated? No such thing anymore

 

[carloss]

Great goal by Stewart

 

[Hamez]

Do we bring Stewart back as a forward? He was pretty decent a few years ago (2017/18) playing as the 2nd/3rd tall forward.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Bad decision from Bryan.

 

[Snake Charmer]

I don’t get the chance to watch vfl very often.. is the umpiring standard always this bad?

 

[andleanback]

Bad decision from Bryan.

Horrible footy iq there

He made of for it. Can’t wait to see him in 24 months time. Going to be a monster

 

[carloss]

lol, Bryan just killed someone

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Bryan almost kills Dow.

 

[MiguelM]

Bryan almost kills Dow.

nice mark

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Hardest mark I’ve seen from an Essendon player in a while. Really drove through it

 

[Duckworth]

Bryan's mark leads to an easy goal to Menzie.

 

[andleanback]

Eyre dear o dear. Why is he taking kick outs over garrett or brand

 

[Hamez]

#30 has been umpiring at AFL level all season but due to the byes is doing VFL

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Stewart looking a class above.

 

[TheFrenchCut]

Eyre dear o dear. Why is he taking kick outs over garrett or brand

Suspect they are just trying to get him involved.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Baldwin with a nice mark.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

And goals.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Stewart needs to play next week.

 

[Hamez]

Was run down but the quick hand and movement in traffic from Mass was quite good on the 3QT siren.

Yes

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Was run down but the quick hand and movement in traffic from Mass was quite good on the 3QT siren.

All his team mates were flat footed, so he did well to take the initiative even if it did not pay off this time.

As good as Wright's form was this year, if Stewart is forward he's my number 1. He's going to make more contests than what Wright does and will likely stick more marks.

Stewart as the no 1, Wright as the number 2/second ruck and Jones as more of a third tall is the combination I thought we were working with prior to Stewart's move to defence last year. It's not a bad combination, not bad at all. Obviously there are no stars but with Stewart you get the battering ram we don't currently have.

He's much too good a player not to be playing AFL. I feel a bit sorry for Durdin. Stewart's making him look bad but he's legitimately an AFL standard power forward and he's big, powerful man with a high level workrate. Durdin could have many easier challanges at AFL level.
