Honestly, put a grigg like in over belly at least at worst there is another agile player in there.
I would 100% put Ridley in there with the goal of nullifying gawn then acting as a mid there after
It’s the Essington way
get a drinking habit.

No but with the injury’s it’s going to happen
Or perhaps these ■■■■■ could display and execute a basic level of skill.

…and being outmarked by a dwarf?
This is going to be a mind game. Whoever can remain enthusiastic and composed will win this.
Might be in the minority here but at least we have showed something tonight. I was expecting to be getting belted, still in it played some great footy with a man down and without a ruckman. Go dons

We are not fit. I think we spent everything in that 1st quarter.

Somebody needs to tell Bellchambers that if he doesn’t put physical pressure on Gawn he is banished.
Running wouldn’t feature at all on T Bells resume. He couldn’t catch a stationary tram!
Issue is we can’t slow down a game because our skills aren’t good enough. We actually tried to slow it down and it just meant we coughed up the ball. Too many easy targets missed.

Good first quarter.
But we let them run all over us last ten minutes.
Mutch hammy
Francis sore hip and Devon smith sore.
Need to get the free flowing footy going again.
Petracca and Melksham and Gawn all playing well for them like we said !
Take it easy champ. I think you might be asking a bit much.
its easier to get a drinking problem.
least i’ll have an essendons anonymous group at some point ha
It’s the exact output we get from TBC and Clarke combined!!

He has been conditioned to play back. He should be left on the wing then he might be a much more useful player and can be forgiven for the odd kick. But can’t be blamed on one terrible kick into the F50. Coaches are to blame for such a bad match-up weeks on end.
I’d be telling Shiel to keep going he will bust it open if he can do that in the 2nd half, Melbourne can’t get near him. He’s trying to carry us like a true leader I’m rapt he plays for us absolute jet!!
