VFL Game Day Round 6: Footscray vs Essendon, Whitten Oval, Sunday 01/05/2022 @ 11.35 AM

Could not see a thread for this so.
Low scoring first half so far. No wind.
Ham very good.
Eyre gets to the front and good spots but just drops too many marks.
VFL players go hard but lack polish. Stuff like continually spoiling each other in marking contests or fighting over the same footy on the ground.
Bryan has been better taking some marks but Sweet on top in the hit outs although Archard has had some ruck time as well.
Hind has been good.
Dogs 4.3 Dons 4.6.

 

[Duckworth]

Hind getting a lot of kicks, looking good.

 

[Yoda_]

Cody Brand 3..... tackles. 0....... possessions

Hind getting a lot of kicks, looking good.

If he kept it simple, he would have torn this game apart. Looks to do too much imho

 

[Yoda_]

108 seconds into the third quarter and a 3 point lead is now a 9 point deficit. Abysmal defending just like the AFL. Run of goals

 

[Yoda_]

Posted in Hams thread (sorry Lore)

3 point lead at 1/2 time turned into a 9 point deficit inside 120 seconds into the third.


Steadier by Ben Archard and it's back to 3 points

 

[Yoda_]

CODY BRAND WITH HIS FIRST POSSESSIONS!!!!

 

[Yoda_]

Josh Eyre with a brilliant strike from 50 after a dubious but there 50m penalty for not returning footy on the full.

Footscray 39
Essendon 42

 

[Yoda_]

I will say this again but I like what Sam Conforti does at this level.

Turnover in the middle of the ground and allows a shot on goal to Ben Archard


Goal !!

Footscray 6.3
Essendon 7.6

 

[Yoda_]

Khamis with a quick snap and goal

Footscray 7.4
Essendon 7.6

I like conforti. Just a good footballer

 

[Duckworth]

I like conforti. Just a good footballer

There is something that makes you wonder if he could step up. VFL is quite a different game though.

 

[Yoda_]

Getting the kids ready so missed 5 minutes or so

Foot 55
Ess 48

Butler goal

Foot 60
Ess 49

Butler goal

Foot 60
Ess 49

that is what the coverage is saying, feel the commentators were saying the previous post was scoreboard at the ground correct

 

[ant555]

You can see how much the lack of VFL has hurt Eyre and Brand.

 

[Duckworth]

Silly by Bryan.

 

[ant555]

Pretty dumb 50 given away. Luckily it missed.

 

[Yoda_]

Ill discipline from Bryan and given Cody Raak a 50m penalty and behind

Foot 9.8.62
Ess 7.7.49

 

[Yoda_]

Dogs mature bodies starting to get on top and our lack of experience starting to really show now.

 

[ant555]

Simple errors killing us now.

 

[Yoda_]

ANOTHER RED TIME GOAL



HOW MANY ******* TIMES!>??!?!?????

Midfield turnovers.

 

[Yoda_]

Bro relax

infuriating when you support a team and the same thing happens week after week, year after year. When will this club learn
