Going into today we had ONE win in 109 years against Essendon at the MCG. Now we have TWO wins in 109 years against Essendon at the MCG.

13.2.80 in the second half (to 10.1). Amazing accuracy from both sides in a high pressure game.

Bell's been solid over the past month. Suspect he's out for Warner, but no complaints there.

He did help win some big contests in the 4th quarter. In a game that close, that does matter.
But yeah, I think Warner should be coming back assuming he's ready to go.

McCartin is in form
I think Warner will come straight in but not sure how the match committee will think about having no matches under his belt returning from injury.
The way Franklin presented today coupled with the disgraceful umpiring of him he was enormous. Man's a Leviathan.

They are so overhyped.. but watch the hype increase after this loss lol
Wow still after the siren has gone that's all I could say.
Mills
Dawson
Parker
Kennedy
Lloyd
Astounding efforts today like above and beyond probably missed some as well.
Credit to essendon for bringing the pressure and essentially was goal to goal for 90% of the game.
Game of the season imo and we move from 6th finally

Phew, that was stressful as.
Anyways if Port lose to both GWS and WB we will be 4th. Or if Port lose to one of WB then with 3 lowly teams we are a shot to overturn the 3% we are behind them in for and against.

Stood up when we needed to.
Mills, Parker and Papley probably the standouts for me.
Foot skills of Dawson, Heeney, Blakey were sublime at times.

How good is Papley? I said in the gameday thread that he is the very definition of a matchwinner.
Compare him to a player like Tipingwuti who only does it when his team is well on top.

In case anyone was wondering, the Essendon board are in fact blaming the umpires.
I'm shocked to be sitting here.

Clearances will be the death of us at some point , that particular stat
McCartin in form and has improved body work
Reid looks done
Off by disposal but jamc will be a grade
Cunningham just gets it done
Blakey is heart and mouth stuff but comes of and is game breaking
We get down on spread from centre clearances with hewett, Parker and Kennedy

No such thing as a bad win, but it was definitely a weird one.
On the one hand, it was not good enough to let Essendon score 100+ overwhelmingly from the centre. Our midfield is just not good enough yet.
However on the other, the fact it was such a high intensity shoot-out meant we really had to hold our nerve and stay focused. Any lapses in our application and they would've easily got a run on. So in that sense it showed incredible maturity.
I thought our key players were those guys now entering their primes - Heeney, Mills, Hewett, Papley, Dawson - all had great games. They are capable of the things that both the veterans and the kids are not.
Wasn't a fan of McInerney & Gulden in the guts. Nice that they can get their hands on the ball plenty but the fact is neither look like natural inside mids, and I don't wanna see them getting caught in tackles, scrambling rushed nothing disposals away and looking a bit like headless chooks. I want to see them using their attacking weapons in space.
Defenders were also great all game - McCartin, Rampe, Lloyd, Cunningham and Fox just held their nerves all game under immense pressure. Quiet achievers but they are the rocks of this team still.
