When I think of McKenna playing well and a bloke gorging himself on hot chips I think of @ivan

Let me rephrase that, his goals have nothing to do with his tap work which has always been a weakness of his game and while Leuy is more of a negate first, win tap second kind of ruck he is still much better overall than Belly. So that still doesn’t really help him move in front of Leuy, and I doubt they will play both (unless as I said Hooker has an injury and they want to play him as a FF).

None during quarters. Didn’t need to.

I really liked Hartley and McKenna’s disposal out of the backline and the fact that Stewart was able to contribute without kicking a bag of goals.

I particularly liked the part in the 4th where Bitchell was chirping at Tippa who just ignored him like the sack of poo he is

And jeez, opposition players are terrified of Tippa. I reckon half of Green’s tackles were because the Wet Toast flog with the ball was too busy looking for Tippa

Good win Bombers.

Been years since I’ve been able to just sit back, relax and watch us play and know the game is in the bag.

So proud of the Boys today, wanted a 10 goal win and should of wished for more but very happy, very!
Negatives:
Hooker will be the new whipping boy for kicking for goal could of snagged a couple more easily.
Goddard losing the plot.

Umm thats about it.

And Green awesome, love him new Number 8

Great win, great atmosphere and a fantastic day for footy. And the guy behind me got me into the rooms afterwards! Never been before even though member for 16 years. Too late for the song, but still pretty cool. Walla was signing kids stuff, thought about dropping to the knees and pretending to be a kid but he probably would have noticed the thinning hair (and that I’m wide enough for a kid standing up!).

Where do you sit? I will send Mrs Fox over

Just got back from the game. I haven’t seen an Essendon team run and work that hard for a very long time (actually probably ever given the way the game is played). The WCE defence was just confused and unorganised as the ball came in with great speed and smart positioning. It will be very hard to play like that week after week but at the moment I’m just enjoying the win with quiet contentment. The crowd wasn’t going too silly, it was almost like the collective didn’t quite believe what was happening before us.

The ■■■■■■■’s poor wife tries to correct him, I overtly cheer Zerrett and Conor etc, he ain’t changing. Worried the kid will take after his dad…

(Doesn’t hate all the players… Myers can do no wrong, for example.)

First game all year when we won the clearances and inside fifty. GOOD THANKS!!!

Anyone who gets into Zerrett is a certified moron.

That’s exactly what I said. Surreal to see a margin like that for us. At half time, the boys got a standing ovation from the crowd to show their appreciation. So great to be at a game like that.

Also, loved Green taking that great mark in the third. Followed by that little strut past the Eagles player on the ground. Hooker and Daniher were actually openly giggling at that!

We haven’t won a game by 10 goals since round 17, 2014.
