Cheats time. Let's see if half a team can defeat a bunch of druggies.
Hey umpires, there's two sides out there!
Very similar to last week so far, we can't get hold of the ball. 44 -28 disposals
A midget slams Casboult, right there and then is the problem, no further analysis required!
Chip chip chip chip... bomb... great game plan
terrible stuff again. the guys look disinterested.
Very down on talent & experience and it's showing. Having trouble creating any forward thrusts . No winners in any positions,
I am soooo over this rebuilding thing.
Is Murphy and Gibbs playing.... I know they are on the ground!
Any wind advantage ?
Bye bye Denis, thanks for coming.
Good to see Weitering back in the game a bit , but few bright highlights for us so far
Meanwhile Josh Kelly is destroying the dees.
We need more than him today,
In a dour game Wright kicks a nice goal
My count is 7 long sleeves for us.
Why does Kruezer kick into 50 on the left when he's 10 metres in the clear....cause we are dumb!
Can Smedts tackle?
Seen enough of Smedts......spud.
Kerridge is an oxygen thief. Sorry but that's how I see it.
I have never ever seen such awful delivery into I50.
....don't forget ,"turnovers" Thomas. Too slow too many mistakes.
Blokes we could have had for peanuts like Stewart, Green, would be handy for us.
Much better qtr, kept Essendon goaless. Just needed more reward.
Stewart picked the Cheats, nothing we could have done.
Need to fit our age profile... U17's only ::)
Pickett doesn't want to get tackled.
Isnt that the aim of the game?
Not in 2017. The good players take the tackle to get that guy out of the contest and then dispose of it. Pickett should have backed himself then but he backtracked, guess he's just following his skipper's lead.
If we got the Marchbank deal done earlier then I reckon he would've been part of the package. Instead of waiting he took what was there.
To say the the first goal is critical is an understatement.
Q1 heart in mouth
Q2 good effort whilst oppo dropped off
Some great work from Cas and Jones. Wright and Pickett looking dangerous. Samo, ZacAttack, and Charlie solid given the late stage of the season.
According to channel 7 Levi has now kicked 2.5 from 30 metres dead in front.
Better quarter by the Blues, at least we've turned it into a contest.
Der is!
Well done lamb, backed himself. Silk
How feckin hard do we make a goal look?
Nice pass Simmo ????
Our ball movement is heart in mouth , can't hit a target at any cost. But some how clawing our way back,
Hit the front
Standard, now give it back and they will romp away. :(
Marchbank pooed his pants????????????
Gee we make hard work of Simple things
Yes wasn't good , cost a goal
Bombers kick away again. Hard to watch.
Love to finish their year, which a win will do, with a depleted side which has half way to checked out for the year.
Absolutely must hang on to the lead to 3qtr time.
Yessssss!!!! Little mental battle won.
Daisy's best game for a month or more.
Blues teasing us ....3 points up at 3/4 time, will they fall away in the last?
We've kicked 8 of the last 10 goals. The two we gave up were dumb $hit ones.
Squeaky arse time for Essendon.
We need to keep taking the game on... attack and win or defend and lose
Game there for the winning. If we can minimise the turnovers we can win this. Charlie has been quiet, Casboult as well, chance is there
Has been solid most games this year, deserves his spot.
Im not a fan but that was great Pickett
Intensity has picked up, nice tackle by Pickett
Nice Levi , goal 10 in front
That miss will hurt
Simpson has been shocking
This game shalt be know as the " the Game of Turnovers"
Gibbs has lifted.
Weitering can't do a thing right.
The juice they were on for all those years will probably get them over the line.
AMTW is beating us on his won!
S-house, one team wants it more
Casboult gave up.
He is our biggest concern by a mile, and I don't just mean today. His issues are a lot more than a sophomore slump, and a lot more than playing through injury.
A big worry for mine.
Really hurting now , tired efforts ATM
What the fark is wrong with Simmo .. ??
Officially heart tablet time now
How much does Casboult want?
Just terrible
Another honorable loss after being in front in the last
How can he kick like that with the game on the line!?
Lost opportunity here , missed some easy critical ones late.
Levi to win the game for us from 30 metres on a slight angle was never really going to happen.
Story of 2017, get our nose in front then capitulate. Its the older heads failing us. Simmo, my lord.
Simpson and Weitering pretty much handed them the win.
And thats why he is not worth big coin. Its not the first game he could have iced for us but failed.
Essendon missed more than we did but we didn't know how to make them pay.
Another q4 that is "not quite" :-[
That is team demoralising, he piles more pressure on team-mates than the opposition!
He's a coach killer!
That game today should have sealed his fate!
Agree..both were woeful, Weitering is very unsure of himself and Simpsons disposal has been terrible of late...
Levi too was terrible, dropped marks, didnt chase etc etc...
5 wins, 6 times led in the last qtr and lost. Could've been so much better a year. Not that you expect to win all 6 but that's potentially 11 wins. Disappointing to lose after leading by 10pts late.
Sorry Laj but your mate Levi is forking up the minds of the young blokes, soon they'll be worthless to us, like a golfer with an incurable case of the yips!
The only way out of the sour mindset for those kids will be to get out of the club!
Those 4th quarter leads only give the illusion of proximity - we're miles off the pace, and never look even remotely like a team that can finish the job.
Let's lock this up mods.
