ESSENDON BOMBERS
In a dour affair, the struggling Dons went down to a resurgent Port Adelaide by 16 points at Adelaide Oval.
Started poorly and never really looked like getting back into a serious position in the game.
Poor kicking is poor footy, and we are seriously poor. 6 shots on goal in the first quarter for no goals is not only disappointing, but it's also borderline unforgivable.
Halfway through the second quarter and Andrew Phillips gets a goal, but we ended the half having kicked 2.9.
We actually seemed to play seriously well when the rain got going, which is a nice change.
It's raining all day today, so... Maybe we'll have a good crack.

I know it's our 150th celebration, and the line has been to celebrate the club and its success and not the last 12 weeks, but jeez it's hard to get geared up to do so.
We showed a bit more the last time we played, but Carlton is playing for a Top 4 spot this season. We just have to hope that we can get it together, even just for this week, to put smiles back on the faces of Essendon supporters who have been doing it tough.
F*** Carlton.
Essendon by 3.
