That Ruck Rule is the worst rule imaginable. That together with the Stand Rule.

I watched Sydney and St.Kilda. Grundy didn't even just for some centre bounces as he looked like going over the line. t's was farcical. Happened a number of times. Must be a KPI at AFL House, to check your brain cells in at the door before entering the building.

The result was always on the cards.
A big effort last week to get over the line.
The players would have been drained though obviously elated by that result last week.
They were as flat as pancakes for the first half tonight.
But we were able to squeeze out the win.

It seems the clock issue was only an issue with the broadcaster...nothing was lost with the official time keepers.
And speaking of the broadcasters...Fckn couldn't have barracked any harder for the opposition.

Geelong, Hawthorn, Sydney and us were all as flat as pancakes this week.

I have a theory.  During the week in one of his posts Kruddler set out in detail that if we did not finish in the bottom five then the new AFL drafting rules would compromise our draft picks.

Evidently our playing group read the post, were impressed by its content, and began putting it in to practice tonight

Ben McKay kicked a goal with 8 minutes left and the next centre bounce Essendon fielded their weakest line up.
Tanks a lot.

Why were they going so hard at the last centre bounce?

Was that all part of the show

How good was Harry Dean again. He fixed up Caddy from the first minute and it was especially good, given the amount of ball that was coming in and the easy in which it was coming.

Love the kid. Did anyone else notice the commentary love feast on caddy all game?

Dean doesnt have the flair of a Caddy but gets the job done and rarely loses a one on one. Likely to be a 200 plus game player and is a great addition to our key position stocks.

Wilson is another one who is really showing something and seems to have taken Saads spot. He has pace, runs and takes ground with ball in hand and is not afraid to look inboard and is one he have who can execute the hard option inside.

The worst of our 4 wins in a row but a win is a win on a round of upsets so will take it.
