Match Review: Essendon monsters St Kilda

On 774 before the game they were saying that among the coaching team they’ve been surprised that the team has blown past their wildest expectations for the year and are doing much better than Woosh thought they’d be able to put together in such a short time as a team

That goal on half time…

We nearly rolled these jesters last year, and we were overdue to flog them. Even better to make it a 140 point negative turnaround for them.

They’re such a poxy club. Stuff all fans – soft fans, a worm of a CEO, tightarse traders and to top it off they average a wooden spoon about every four years.

As they say in the classics, get a big effing dog up ya.

Loved it when Walla handballed to Myers for a 60m hoof goal. Icing on the cake. Noice.

You know what? An awful lot of our players could have done better tonight.

That’s a good thing.

St Kilda were/are awful.

As this was the first Saint game I’ve seen this year: is Riewoldt cooked? Looked like it.

Essendon here, Essendon there, ESSENDON FKN EVERYWHERE.

Half of level 1 and just about the entire top deck was Essendon.

Amazing how much we butchered our chances in the first to still run away 60 points up, and to keep em to 2 goals to half time was pretty neat

played so well the umps didn’t even have time to ■■■■ our momentum

Bruce: "…they’ve been a lot of down… bits… but they’ve been a lot of highs… Hooker inside to Bird… running hard, now they’re on… look at Colyer go… Stewart kicks it to him, I don’t think he’ll break stride… he won’t… GOD they’re good to watch…

Who won the Battle?

Our whole backline as as solid as a rock

Midfield really got stuck in and gave the forwards some really good delivery

Forwardwasted some chances early but really made them pay as the game went on

Our pressure was really good early and really only dropped off for about 10minutes in the last

Awesome effort all aroubd

10 FKG GOALS.

they had 2 goals to their name up until 20 minutes into the third, was 21 - 71 at that point

This was a shellacking, we started off fast and apart from 10 minutes in the 4th kept it up all game

The commenimitators are right, I’d hate to play us in the finals, you just never know what you’ll get.

Well, he did. Kicked a substantial proportion of their goals.

But we won the war.

I had said to my mate before the game "All I want out of tonight is Joe to take a hanger over Carlisle. "

I can’t believe I got that before quarter time.

Awesome win, we owed those farks one for the 2015 drubbing. This doesn’t make up for it totally, but it helps.

Our best is very, very good…
