Review how we didn’t let the Suns go down on us - 2020 round 11

We would have lost if not for Rankine doing the most selfish thing I have ever seen a footballer do.

We won the free kick count. Dominated a lot of the stats. Ridley is a gun. Stewart looked good finally. Shame Draper wasn’t in.

Classic essendon . Play crap most of the game , finally play some good footy late . Get in front and then throw away a win .
This club will be the end of me

Look at our outs. Our weakest side for the season and we got some points out of it.

Stewart may have captured some form too.

Hurley, Hooker and Draper our potential ins for the Saints game.

Zaka said he popped his quad, how long is that?

Shiel having a serious word with Smith and the players on the ground. I like that.

Ridley was BOG by a mile. Exceptional game

Stewart, Merrett, Zaharakis great

Clarke changes our intensity, must stay in

Cutler, Guelfi, Francis rubbish

Will take 2pt. First half was comedy hour.

We dominated them for almost all the 2nd half but didn’t score anywhere enough

Absolutely spewin’ they got the ball down so easily after the Shiel point, in fact happened way too often all game end to end so easily.

Clarke was also a plus.

Not sure about that because Collingwood and Richmond at 6 and 7 also have a draw, but let’s see what happens

Look like a team of wonky individuals at times.

Backline still needs Hurls or Hooker in it. Spesh against a bunch of talent.

Need a light few days on the track working on skills and general cohesion.

I like Jordan Lewis as a commentator.

Is there anyone at Essendon who puts any planning or effort into

  1. Kick ins other than long and wide
    And
  2. Defending opposition kick ins - 9 of 10 times Essendon allow a cost to coast transition.

Deplorable coaching at all levels.

A win would have had us end the night in 9th anyway. Peercentage is trash, so a draw rules that out, unless we’re battling with Richmond, Collingwood it the Suns at the end of the season.

Stewart was excellent.

McKernan was ok too.

I rather us get the draw if we were behind not when we were up by 6 with a few minutes to go

What!! We usually play well early then throw games away
