Typical Blitz bipolar showing through here. We won 2 games against sides above us and lost the game against Richmond in the last 2 minutes, after playing badly. No doubt we deserve to be higher on the ladder. The stutter for the Carlton game really cost us the position we should be in right now which is between 5 and 7
The boys know they are up against it, but on paper we have a sniff, that should bring out their best.
Don’t know why, … but i just imagined Conor cutting loose his latent mongrel at last and shirtfronting this little prikk into the middle of next week, … it makes a good image …
No doubt Conor is a tough unit, and Ooh Aah plays close and accountable. But when we have set up the zone, its a bit of a lottery as to who is closest to Greene, when inevitably he tries to get out the back. Either Conor or McGrath are fast, lets hope its not any of the other defenders.
Essendon believes they’re a finals team hence the selections as opposed to the season (which is as even as ever) being shot and coaches taking the decision to pump games into kids. Essendon are desperate to play finals, desperate to snap the funk they’ve been in for sooooo long
Even though Essendon are showing some good signs (Cats / Eagles) they’re still some distance off being finals credentials especially with their lack of decent 2 way / all over running depth.
It’s interesting how Essendon have shown something in each of their games but lacked the required 4 quarter consistency. Given, their efforts against 2 top 4 teams are they a chance today? I guess they are so long as they bring the intent.
