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

[Howard Moon]

Anyone notice that little block routine green and Hogan pull right on centre bounce that leaves one of them leading up the guts hoping they win the clearance? I always wondered on tv why Hogan seems to be free alit from the burst kick

 

[MiguelM]

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

Yep, in the past we are down by 40+

Clean up inside 50s and we are a chance.

Missing Dursma big time.

No but there has to be something going on.

 

[Happyskeret]

This game reminds me of the saints game a bit

 

[The Donners]

I can’t believe we’re only 2 goals down. Shows to half time we’re not that far away from the better teams - which Giants clearly are.

 

[rumply]

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

View attachment 1986061

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.

Davey has played well, kicked the goal he should have, set up another, even put his body on the line for a nice bump.

 

[Call Me Cake]

Surprised we're not down by way more

Wasn’t going to edit him out of a screenshot to be fair. He’s done some good things early but two disposals is not really going to see him impacting the game in any meaningful way. Again, if he gets more of it then it will add to us being a good chance to get up. So many players can lift in this game and yet we’re only two goals down. Amazing. We should be 6 goals down with those stats.

For sure
Ess certainly in this game.
It may break open it may not but generally speaking they are def on the up competition wise imo.

 

[Beerfish]

Hind lol

 

[mike14]

Hind really is the gift that keeps on giving (to the opposition)

 

[Yoda_]

any chance of defending at the coal face

 

[rumply]

truly pathetic efforts there

 

[MightyDon]

Not a single defender got a hand on that

 

[JayJ20]

That's way too easy. And is Hind serious?

 

[quotemokc]

Hind is such a nothing player

 

[Jobe Watson]

I really want to like Hind, because I remember the player he used to be, but seriously, get out.

 

[Blind Turn]

Terrible turnover from Hind

 

[Call Me Cake]

Hind's brainfart handball caused that.

Reckon we bring in Tsatas for him

 

[rumply]

Cmon Gwelf

 

[rumply]

phew

 

[bommer16]

Go guelfi!

 

[quotemokc]

Stringer take note of how to kick the ball from that spot

Stringer can make way for Caddy

 

[Blind Turn]

Merrett getting involved is a good sign
