Game Day Round 9 - Essendon v Orange Team, Marvel Stadium, Saturday 11/5/24, 4.35pm AEST

[boncer34]

It's like the opposite of last week. Comprehensively outplayed but haven't lost touch on the scoreboard.

Posting in these gameday threads has been very weird lately as many of you are clearly minutes behind the action, what gives?

Watching the game

I'll take a twelve point deficit after that quarter.

Not sure. Looking forward to the 2nd quarter though. Hopefully we can stay with them

VFL - Williamstown kicked 6 goals in the last to roll us by 11 points

ZAC REID 25 touches 16 kicks 9 handballs and 10 marks COMES IN NEXT WEEK so Laverde can never ever be picked again

Zero chance they rush him back in. Surely.
I'm guessing they will give him 3 weeks minimum.

Jayden, Jayden, Jayden.

pros: we're only down by 12

cons: the rest of the game

I'm actually feeling ok about this now. They appeared to jump us but we've worked our way into it. Every chance from here.

 

[BomberManU]

Martin up the ground, PLEASE! Cox, what a disaster. Just doesn't seem to understand the game, worst handballer I've seen.

[Gumby2Hurley]

gresh early q2 and stringer set shot were bas misses. still in this

 

[Call Me Cake]

I haven't even seen Hobbs once?

 

[The Donners]

Where the * is Parish today?

He’s having a stinker so far.

 

[rumply]

I haven't even seen Hobbs once?

Not playing will do that.

 

[DapperDon]

I haven't even seen Hobbs once?

lol

 

[Call Me Cake]

Tsatas leading the disposals for the VFL team and had the most clearances and tackles overall, surely gets a game

 

[quotemokc]

Glad we controlled the quarter, disappointed we didn't score enough and they got a few cheapies.

 

[Jobe Watson]

Parish and Merrett been pretty quiet. The fact we're still in it with them being so down is good.

Nah, we have Hind

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Thought we outplayed them that quarter..missed a couple easy shots.

 

[caboose]

Strange game. Feel like we’re playing absolutely nowhere near our best. Yet GWS are getting every just about every 50-50 bounce, and plenty of umpiring help - and we’re still right in it.

 

[Blind Turn]

We’re two goals down with utterly miserable contributions from these players;



A list that includes Merrett, Parish and Heppell who are expected to have 90 disposals per game between them and are on target for sub 50. If they come to the party in the second half and Wright, Stringer, Gresh and Jones can get in the scoreboard we’ll get them. Delusional optimism.
