He was on last night for sure
Is it just me or does he look like a Marc Murphy with a mo?
He’s 100% harder at the ball for sure
Had to laugh there was a passage of play last night possibly 3rd qtr where Snelling got the ball out from the centre square and another of our smaller guys (can’t remember who) kept putting in second and third efforts to get the ball up to our attacking F50 and BT kept calling it was “Snell & Snell again”
Maybe have a look at the numbers on the back BT

It was Ham. Initially he called it right (Snelling getting it out to Ham) then decided it was Snelling.
Snelling would take ten minutes to run that far!

Grundy head butting Phillips chest continually and getting the high contact free was infuriating.

Couple of little things from last night

Raz- he didn’t star by any means. But there was a few little signs that he is starting to get some form and proper match fitness back.i actually don’t mind the idea of him playing HB at times. Gets him some easy touches and allows him to use his speed going forward.

Some of the little tap ons, shepherds, blocks etc were great to see. Just shows that you don’t need to have the ball in hand in order to make an impact For the team

Great to see hooker clunking the ball in the backline, even when pies were really pressing he took the contested marks which settled us

Our pressure really rattled Collingwood, it was great to see

Bonzo or Gonzo??

Let’s keep it real. Daniher ain’t playing for a while & neither is Heppell. Who knows about Stewart.

I don’t see Mckeena as interchangeable with Gleeson. They offer something different from each other. Once Francis is injury free, Gleeson should make way. That said, perhaps Mckeena can play on a wing or up forward?

We need to find coverage for Stringer. This is our biggest issue.

After climbing Mt Collingwood we now find that we have lost some of our most important explorers. Such a shame he is going to be out for 2 months… fark.

Maybe we will have another lock down period, that will help him heal without as much of an issue.

I was about to press the button to send this:

“This is not the Essendon team that is going to win us a premiership.”

Then we kicked our first goal so I hesitated…then we kicked our second…so I hesitated longer…then we kicked our third so I did not send…and the rest is now history. What a game!!!

Yeah it was Ham who had about 3/4 goes at it

Your’e late to the party.

Never late when responding to stupid comments.

No fake crowd noise needed for the Shiel goal in the last minutes. The Essendon players made enough noise, as the ball left his boot you heard the FARK YEAH!!!

Don’t worry, you’ll be able to use it soon enough.

Yeah, that’s what worries me. I’ll keep it somewhere safe just in case.

People should remember that Michael Long was the first person (AFAIKR) that introduced this technique and made it a useful attacking method in football.

Soccer players do it all the time with their feet…there could be something in this.

How was that spud Maynard? Very good player. We laughed at him when he was pantsed by Fantasia. Not laughing now as Fantasia tip-toes around the field getting cheapies in the back half offering very little whilst this bloke attacks every contest like his live depends on it.

Very rare to find kind of player… yeah he spuds up and is a complete nuff , but he’s a tough bastard, will smash himself for the ball. Kind of a Solomon / M Johnson kind of guy (kind of).
