Essendon Vs Tin Rattlers - MATCH REVIEW THREAD

Its a shame he wont even be in the frame for AA.
He is so much better than those being spoken about as candidates.
Including one that used to play for us !

Imagine thinking Stewart was a better option

For a game where there was every opportunity for Essington to show upā€¦
We won.
Not much else to say about the game.
The litmus test was last week, not this week.
We move on.

Hooker was a pick in the 50s iirc

Zerk was drafted at 66 hoping hes another gem like hooksy

Youā€™d love him to have a 2023 like Hookerā€™s breakout year (when some were still calling for him to be dropped/traded).

The main taste that comes from the mouth after that is just how badly we were beaten in clearances. Lost by almost double to the bottom team. Good grief. Centre Clearances were a smashing for them. You know itā€™s bad when we get bronx cheers for winning a centre clearance in the lastā€¦

That said we were far too good around the ground.
Redman is elite and imo should be right up there for the captaincy discussions.
Merrett I thought was poor to okay in the first half but stormed home in the second half to have an excellent game. Seeing him tackle is a nice surprise.
Wright missed 2 sitters, should have had 4.
Stewart presented nicely and took his chances well. 3 goals is a nice return after an excellent month in the VFL.
Menzies 10 disposals in a quarter, a nice debut.
Snellingā€™s ability to want to pass off when heā€™s 40 out from goal worries me. Only player that could struggle to hit 35.
Zerk with some clutch spoils, heā€™s been excellent since returning.

An example of quality skill AFL for all that was not! Gee both sides butchered it at times.

Yet to receive my email

People here seem to judge us as a top 6 side, good result for a bottom 6 club
