Apart from that ridiculous headline, WHY, WHY, WHY do we always have to read/listen to how the opposition lost instead of WHY we won.
It ■■■■■ me to tears.

The Snelling 50? Did the protected area extend 5m behind the man in the mark? I didn’t think so, I thought it was either side of the mark

So biased and annoying hey.
It’s like every win is by pure luck and every loss is how it’s supposed to be.
Iv finally figured out why and its because all AFL journalists and commentators are clinically insane.
Game started at 7:20 AM here, regardless I was still tempted to drink. So I did. Amazing win, we really were the better side and should have won by a lot more.
- Stating the obvious, but pressure was excellent all day. Completely un-Essington-like performance.
- So many of Collingwood’s goals came cheaply, indictive that we still had lapses in consistency.
- Some biased umpiring contributed to those cheap goals however. We weren’t rinsed like in 2019, but the Pies certainly had the rub of the green
- Ball was in for Walla’s goal. Screw anyone who says differently
- Speaking of Walla, he kicked the most timely bag of goals in recent memory. We would work hard to hit the front, Pies would get a cheap goal, then Walla would pull one out of nowhere to settle us down again.
- Play
Parish in the middle
- I really wanted to see more from Jones and Perkins. They had their moments but were mostly quiet.
- I’ll watch Cox’s tackle on Sidebottom from now until the end of time whenever Frau Sniggles has a headache
- 2MP has pleasantly surprised me with his disposal. Usually kicks it to the right spots, rarely turns it over.
- Truck with a 100% winning record on Anzac Day

Probably the best part!

Also, has anyone had a more invisible 30 disposal performance than Sidebottom? I was genuinely shocked he had that many disposals.

Saw this posted on the BF board and I have no idea. Obviously knew Walla had a good game but with regards to pressure acts
Smith - 33 pressure acts.
Walla - 26 pressure acts.
Perkins - 25 pressure acts.
Really was a team effort

There’s going to be an incredible roar when he gets his first. Love his confidence and willingness to take the game on. Not hard to him tearing into the forward line and banging them through for years to come.

Oh and that Essendon chant near the end. Oh my, how good did that sound on the telly
? Must have been even better there

It was great at the game!
But also, lots of Essendon supporters were absolutely laughing their ■■■■■ off in their seats during that because -
1 - we were openly mocking Collingwood.
2 - Collingwood supporters were fleeing the grounds at the time.

Such a great spontaneous ■■■■ stir I totally got it
I think some of the things we all dreaded at the start of the year might well turn out to be a blessing. I’m not going to bag players just because they don’t play for us now, but we are going to get there quicker without them. And sadd is a great player but we ha e swapped him for a guy who bleeds for the club and I’m quite happy with that. Sheil going down too has meant parish has been thrust into where he is at now. Things appear to have happened for a reason. After so many ■■■■ years we have endured post saga, I think we are finally on a pathway now that really looks exciting

At the game, but in a ■■■■ seat. Just wondering for the others that were there also, how well do you thought we set up? Because from my limited view it looked to be a very well balanced & executed set up across the ground. Best I’ve seen in a long time. I heard we were working on it again during the week, and was happy with what I saw.
Players seemed to know their roles. Understood when to push up or when to run back & defend. Just looked balanced to me. Couple others around me mentioned it too.
Thoughts?

Yes. I would have happily kept Saad but the other two were way past their EFC use by dates imo.

Is that vegemite on toast, and then cheese on top? That’s gross man!!

My favourite.
Either that or smooth peanut butter on toast, and then I smother a layer of strawberry jam on top of that.
