I omitted to add that even though he faded, Kade was very good early.  Swept up very well.

The players were also clearly given roles and they were well thought out beforehand.

Murphy cops a lot on here yet it was his skills that set up our last 2 goals when we were looking for someone senior to lift.

He maybe at the end of his career but he is still important to us - has his flaws but we don’t exactly have in spades those who when the game is on the line can pinpoint a pass under pressure like he can.

Cunningham casboult doc all played big games but Murphy’s last 5 mins were just as important to secure the win.

Mentioned Murphy too and while he hasnt been a tackling machine he setup those goals when we were looking a bit under the pump and they changed the game.
Bit of kudos to McGovern too, didnt light up the stat sheet but his attack on the ball was excellent, kicked a couple of  vital goals and that one mark where he could have been cleaned up showed courage and he earned his money, not sure how Francis who was his opponent got into the best for EFC either.
Both Murphy and McGovern have been on my hit list a bit but played important minutes last night and impacted like they should..

Jack has a bruised lung and a fractured rib.

I watched the replay of the last couple of minutes several times and Eddie does take off before Saad leaves the goal square.  However, he started a couple of metres from where the mark was and had probably just crossed it fractionally before Saad played on.  Technically, it’s a correct decision and the AFL will support the umpire.

The thing is, Eddie’s actions were inconsequential, particularly when he had no chance of affecting Saad’s run or disposal.  50 metres is a huge penalty for an action that has no effect on the game.  The context of the game made it an even bigger penalty.

As for the length of the penalty, is wasn’t 90 metres; more like 70  ::)

No problem if they apply that rule consistently....But I suspect the player moving forward of the mark before the player kicking out has left the square happens regularly.

Is that 1 week out for Jack or 1 week suspension for Merrett?

If it’s the latter, I reckon an intentional strike to the body with severe impact is 3 weeks minimum.

The channel 7 commentary seemed confused about how a fist to the ribs could do so much damage.

What ever way you spin it, it was 6-5 where previously it was 4-39.

Yep, whichever way you spin it, it's 6/14 for Bolton and 7/14 for Teague, from their first 14 games. Given the maturity of the list, throwing development out the window, bringing in older players etc., it's not exactly the stuff of dreams. And don't forget a few of those wins are by 1 or 2 points. The Melbourne, Cats and Essendon games were absolutely 50/50, and either team could've won - just luck to be on the right side of the scoresheet when the siren sounds.

What did Jack Riewoldt get for his late hit? Then again,  he gets a discount.

DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

If the free kick was from before Saad "played on" then it had to have been in the goal square which means he was less than 9 metres from the goal line. The penalty brought Essendon to the centre of the ground which is 85 metres from the goal line so the penalty was a minimum of 76 metres. Of course Saad was well outside of the goal square when the free was paid.
