Review Norf game #1 for 2023

No - you don’t understand the essence of Essington - Essington loses that game.

Good teams grind out wins on off days.

Sometimes players just rise to task. Backs against the wall. It happens. A true Essington wouldn’t have had the nerve to take the lead 4 times in the last.

Did Zita say the same thing about Buddy carrying on like a pork chop when they won on a technicality? Please.

Also, how does Zita know what went on between them during the game? Maybe there was a bit of lip going on. Very strange thing to highlight out of the game.

No mate.

Non-Essington teams wouldn’t let that rubbish team, who have won 3 of their past 45 games, anywhere near us especially when we had a 20 point lead.

That was a woosha, shoot out game today.

Just to emphasise how bad north are… their 3 wins were by under a kick.

Nah, was in a marking contest. Just unlucky, Greenwood was landed on.

I know it’s difficult but got to give credit to North.

They really should have beaten Sydney, had two decent quarters against Collingwood and then got involved in an arm wrestle with one of their biggest rivals.

They will beat GWS in Hobart next week.

It was one of their best sides of the year (on paper) and it showed.

You’re new here aren’t you?

This isn’t a great argument.

We won. Move on.

We need:

  • 2mP
  • Setterfield / Parish
  • Tsatas for Shiel

I was at the match so didn’t have the benefit of the commentary (yeah, yeah), how in God’s name did Menzie end up back on the ground?!

I couldn’t believe it when I saw an Essendon player in number 47 running around in the last few minutes.

I’d already mentally ruled him out for the Carlton game. Thought he was absolutely cooked.

Zita can eat a bag of richards.

There was someone in here this week questioning why everyone was saying the Saints should have taken Tsatas. I forget that people exist outside of here.

He kicked 2.3 out of 15.9.
Zerk is not your problem.

Essington never won a game of football. Essington still lurks and bobs its head up, but we are not completely at its mercy anymore.

Imagine if we had Parish and Setterfield.

North have some serious talent on their list. Don’t underestimate the 18 year olds…last year’s draft is proving to be one of the all time best.

Imagine if we had Parish and Setterfield…oh and 2MP!

Not just scores against Wim. Often his man is the outlet down the line with Zerk miles off. I like Zerk but he was the weak link defensively tonight.

Debuting Tsatsas next week would be a good move.

Will be a decent crowd and Scott will have the opportunity to rotate him across an excellent opponent at some point.

Plus Carlton have been so shabby

You’re saying Larkin had a heap of GA’s?
