Autopsy v Essendon

[DustinsGuns]

Liked O'Hanlon. He is very outside but he moves well, has a nice kick and has a good grab

 

[Damo80]

What was with the umpires being over eager on calling "play on" after a few of our marks/free's? The Deledio mark in the forward pocket sticks out, and Batchelor in the back pocket, but there was a few others too... weird!

Seems the wind was unpredictable and didn't help our accuracy, but it has been an on-going issue all season. Something needs to be done about it. Still think Riewoldt is a shadow of his 2010 self. I reckon he must be slightly injured in some way (hips?) that have stolen a touch of his pace, and accuracy too (he couldn't miss in 2010).

What was the comment from Commetti (I think) about Hardwick saying "none of these guys are playing for their careers, they're all required players"... that includes Post, White, McGuane? I would've thought those three (of today's 22) would come under scrutiny. Anyone know when/where Hardwick said this, and whether there's some context missing and/or Dennis has taken it out of context?

Thought Dea was pretty good tonight. Newy was good pushing further up the ground - saw him in near the middle at some centre bounces (not sure if he was coming in off a wing?). Edwards and McGuane both did some good things, but also did some things that you'd come to expect from those two.... and can Edwards handpass without doing the "look away"? Nice party trick, and he does it pretty well at time, but sometimes I think he just needs to do the simple things.

Astbury looks to have very little pace. With Riewoldt not being the fastest player around, not sure we can have the two of them in the forward line together without it becoming a liability.

Well that felt like ******* your own sister...

Sighhh, take the win... & againast those pricks even better, but gee they were so poor that they dragged us into their crap box.

I think you should work on that analogy, thats kind of weird.

 

[Handsuper47]

If only we kicked straighter.. scoreline flattered them.

 

[Dusty Cotch]

Cotch, BOG thats all we need to know, Watson ordinary, Lids... please dont take the votes.

Tuck is the threat tonight.

 

[rideclutch]

Dusty not huge numbers but very dangerous when he used it. Cotch's workrate first class, was still our best IMO despite the 2495 behinds. Tucky very good too - sign this man up

 

[Tigez 4 Life]

hopefully swan takes all the coaches votes for collingwood and beams is just shoved back under the carpet

 

[peejay]

Most behinds in a game for us since round 21 1995. That is 17 years folks. We kicked 25 that day against the pies.

 

[TheTigerArmy]

Though batchelor was pretty handy tnite goin to be a very good player for us in the future...And i thought we wernt brilliant tnite but should have won by 100 ..we are going to be seriously Scary soon ...this year reminds me a a bit of 1994 ..cant wait for nxt year...BRING IT.

 

[CeltDave]

I think you should work on that analogy, thats kind of weird.

"We got up there, but not proud of it" - is the way I think that goes.

cheers,

 

[DrMike]

The team I support won tonight, I'm happy

 

[Tigez 4 Life]

LOL Dusty partially dislocated Crameris shoulder with a dont argue how bloody strong is he?

oh and batchelor was pretty good tonight his kicking is back up there, Post and Dea played pretty well, Morris is a beast, Cotchin played pretty well, Deledios run and carry was good but he didn't really have a massive impact, Dusty played well.

What i'm really trying to say is just give Tuck another year or 2 right now.

 

[rideclutch]

Looks like Jacko did a fair number on Jobe - any typically Jacko moments where he undid all his good work? If not, seems like he played his role well.

 

[theflea]

Post was ok tonight. Not brilliant, but looked the goods. Im starting to join the MadTig bandwagaon. I like the boy.

yeah said he was ok but dont share mad's love for him tho.

 

[thegrach]

Saw that during the game. Greatest don't argue in the history of footy?

 

[theflea]

the complete quote is 'your up there but not happy about it'.

 

[DrMike]

Also I shouldn't need to say it but don't go into the Dons forum and post anything, we crack the shits when anyone comes in here to offer us condolences so do the righty

 

[GetDimmaBack]

A win by 40+ is a good win, Tiges.

...made all the sweeter by the fact it was Essenscum.
Most neutral supporters are stoked tonight!

Very much to like about O'Hanlon, too...

 

[peejay]

Our biggest win over. Verucas for 25 years!

He plays for them!!!!

 

[rideclutch]

Think he meant O'Hanlon

as i said before just lip service.he's not guna say yeah there's 4 out there that are duds and can eff off. would be funny tho!!!!

 

[DrMike]

Did anyone else get chills watching that number 12 mark just outside the goal square?

 

[peejay]

I will watch the replay in the morning but from being in at the game, I thought batch was poor, mcgoof is still a spud, Astbury got lucky with his mark and goal but generally did diddly, nahas just was not there, still don't see the appeal of hellbig,

All the rest earns there keep.

 

[The Goon]

Was wrong. Very happy to be wrong.
