Essendon DEFEAT Orange People MATCH REVIEW

What was with the umpiring today? The amount of shoves in the back that GWS got away with all day. The non 50 when their defender ran a good 10m over the mark

The amount of great tackles we laid that didn’t get pinged. Blatant throws weren’t called

Up yours Nicholls

I thought Merrett was immense in the 3rd

watching the replay, cox’s limp ■■■■ handpass to goldy in the goal square is usually the type of moment you can pin point the capitulation to, what an impressive rally.

There was something about the crowd… The roar I could hear from the broadcast. Kudos to whomever went and contributed!!

Brought back memories…

Yes, crowd noise was very noticeable on TV.

He was very good. Playing on a 3rd gamer who weighs about 65kgs is a good position for him!

Not sure anyone feels compelled to make excuses for it.

We perhaps, tend to crack bad jokes about it or hide away in closets to indulge.

I still cant understand what happened against port.

It was the recession we had to have

From the stands the Cox handball looked ok-ish, and Goldstein should have not dropped it. On the TV angle replay, oh dear…

Just saw this in the replay… Wow

GWS tried to go with it, but couldn’t.

Lost my mind over the non 50. Gresham was on to pass to a free player 20 out. The GWS player knew that, and took the chance that he’d shut it down. It was a 50 every single time for the last 5 years, but … crickets…

It’s good to win; even better when you consider it’s the AwFuL’s favourites. And the umpiring…
We won despite the ‘experts’ tipping against us. Shows how much they know!

Due to personal circumstances I had to watch it in delay which I have just finished.
There was a moment after the
Game where Langford had parish and McGrath under each arm and celebrating after the game which I thought was poignant.

I’m stoked with the win but not getting ahead of myself. I think we’re overperforming and there’ll be some mean reversion soon.

I really want us to keep turning the side/list over and getting that bottom 5 upgraded (acknowledging the likes of Kelly ended up playing a decent game. I didn’t think Hind was as good as some are saying).

I think we won this by playing as a team - it was clear to me the quality GWS had on the field was superior to ours.

Not trying to be negative. Just real.

Yeah, but they’re the 2024 premiers, and we’re ■■■■.
