that was a huge turn around that quarter - from pretty good to pretty s#*t.

Idun has been fantastic, he's skilled and he can defend, doesn't panic, cult hero in the making.
XOH has weapons but time will tell whether he can put it all together. Hes one of those guys that makes questionable decisions and when he makes a mistake, they are usually pretty bad ones. We have had a couple of guys over the years like this e.g. Bunts, General, Tommo amd TOJ come to mind. The criticism on his defensive effort is valid too, but many players on our team lack defensive efforts sadly, he wouldnt be the only one at fault there.Still young and has potential to be good so happy for us to persist with him for now.
Between HH/TOJ/Hogan/Riccardi, I think TOJ is the one that should go. Can be brilliant, but his poor discipline, negative team influence, inconsistency and at time just pure unprofessionalism puts him on the chopping block. Not sure what others think on this one.
Hope we pick it up again after half time.

It appears we are in control now. With the reserves not playing, hopefully no more injuries, we need a better side than this lineup against better sides.

Umpires doing their best to keep the Bombers in it.

Well done, boys, settled at the end of that quarter to put a buffer back. Now bring it home in the last.

Ffs. We made it hard. Umps poor.
Bet money in the vfl media playing the non bomber mark at the end there but completely forgetting the non holding the ball call 60 seconds at the other end for the Giants.

Looks like we are trying to get some sore players through and given we have no replacements the last qtr tactics to save it rather than win it are understandable. Our conditioning and fitness dept still hasn't improved.
A couple of weeks after a shoulder dislocation, the trainers also left XOH's shoulder taping flapping around for a good half quarter (his shocking 2nd quarter) before finally getting him off to retape it - they would really have copped it if he redislocated that shoulder during that time

Plenty of laughs on their match review board. Apparently people from Sydney are "garbage fire people".

Reading the thread, it did prompt a memory - I'm so glad they didn't play Guelfi for the whole game. One thing we're really lacking is space and he could have destroyed us, and almost did in his cameo.
Essendon really does have some promising younger players. They've gotten rid of a lot of dead wood, they've suffered through some admittedly self-inflicted pain, but they could easily be quite a scary team in a year or two. Most of the guys that impressed me out there were newbies while guys like Heppell and Merrett didn't so much.
