What do you expect Hawthorn when you recruit TYRONE VICKERY.
What a fantastic win. How good does that feel?
So emotional for the players. After all the build up it is good for the players to get that out of the way.
I am looking forward to watching the replay again tomorrow morning and at least another two times during the week. Donāt mind if it rains at all this week.
Bit harsh some of the criticism of gleeson. I thought a few players actually made some really dumb decisions, especially disposal type decisions, especially in the second quarterā¦ but letās just take tonight as a positive yeah?? We were good, weāre back, and several of our good players didnāt play at their best so weāre gonna get even better.
Go bombers
That was one of the most rabid essendon crwods i have been apart of in a long long time. Was awesome
So happy we got the win, we thoroughly deserved to win, we outplayed them for long stretches but our errors kept them in it.
So sweet just steamrolling them in the last qtr
Hey guys I really think we should move on James Kelly, heās not really in our best side anyway, thereās no way he should play on in 2017
BJ showed he still has a fair bit to offer.
Was intense at the contest and his vision was very good tonight. Setup many forward thrusts with some good vision and execution.
You know what. I havenāt seen us come from
behind by a bit against a decent side from half time and then beat them easily for a long time. Thereās a bit of polishing left to do but WE pressured them too much. WE disposed better. WE controlled play better and had individual stand outs. Tippa, Heppell, Parish. How many composed and tough plays did those guys make? Daniher and Merrett. These guys are going to go places.
I couldnāt be there tonight. Iām going to be there in round 3. Thereās something happening here. It wasnāt a frantic, desperate struggle. It was confident and composed. Thereās something good happening here. We structure up well. Maybe itās the forwards but itās also our young mids.
TYRONE
VICKERY
Things I didnāt expect to hear pre game
not sure if a swipe at us or them?
Wait until Woosha unleashes FRANGA!!
Had a great watch in Singapore with 3 of 4 Humbles. Off to run the night Marathon soon. What a game!
I think we are now in a good place.
Gleeson directly involved in setting up a couple of goals.
You shouldāve got on the turps THEN run a marathon. Thatād be impressive!
Was so good to see us out play a very good team after they got in front.
We deadset shook the southern stand pre-game. And after most goals. And after the game.
Incredible.
Time to watch the replay and have a toss.
Michael Hartley can really play and could have a long career.
By half time was voice my pretty much gone.
Thought gleesons 2nd half was very very good.
Goddard was very good all game. But his first 10min in the last qtr in the centre square was just brilliant.
Was gunston even out there? He got smashed!!
Thought was was really good
So many guys stood up tonight. Smack though was justā¦ i cant even put it into words. I dont know who said what or who rattled his cage but he played really angry tonight and it worked. Best game for thr club and i dare say his career. Was winning taps and then roving his own taps and getting clearances.
Im so pumped up!!!
That roar when the players came out was one of the loudest sustained roars i have ever heard. So much red and black everywhere tonight
