Shots, or points?

Oh.

Yes.

Massive last quarter from Merrett, Myers with some crucial clearances and the goal that turned the tide as well

Structure fwd killed us, but once we made better selections into the fwd line it did the trick.

Still, horrendous shots at goal… fark!

I liked Mitch’s Brown’s game

A win is a win is a win.

And we keep doing it! Not at our best, lost an important player early but ground it out. Some poor kicking cost is an even bigger win. I’m happy the boys got it done. Bring on the Swans.

Brown stood up when McKernan went down.

Ratz is gun. Merrett lifted after being tagged hard. Some real positives.

Fwd structure is main concern now.

Goal kicking practice obviously a necessity.

Thank God we have Raz. He is the only player in our forward line I trust atm.

Imagine a fit String and JoeDan next to him…

So Tiges Pies GF and what couldabeen had we fired old crazy eyes a bit earlier in the year, or are the Dons going to pull something mathematically ridiculous? We can still dream. What a year.

Hooker back was a good diversion…it unsettled the Dockers even though he missed three easy shots.

A genuinely positive performance despite the grind and the wayward goal-kicking.

Essendon second half too good for Essington first half

Those are the games we usually lose. Obviously not at our best and lots of players down on form.

Need to improve for next week but very pleased with that win.

Midfield killed it, was great to see.

Ummmm…yeah

Random thoughts

Smith is awesome

Raz BOG

Zac was absolutely awful for 3qtrs then lifted massively in the last

Colyer…Canon. Shoot it twice just to make sure

Goddard. When you talk a big game- you need to back it up on field. He was absolutely awful. Was responsible for at least 3 of their goals. Just really bad. Would rather Francis in the team

Tommy dominated his opponent

Hep held the midfield together, especially early when we were being overrun

Umpiring was bewildering

Good to see the coaches make a move and put ahooker up forward. Helped our structure

Who the hell is teaching the goal kicking at training. Into the cannon they go
