Review thread 2023 round 5 - Ess def Melb 104-77

It was Snellings forward pressure and tackling that went a long way to the win. Effort, pressure and tackling seems like it’s contagious and the whole team caught it today.

Just finished watching the game on delay. I had turned my phone off so I could watch as if live. Turned it back on to 155 WhatsApp messages and not one in my family group which is surprising given my 3 siblings and my old man go for Melbourne. :stuck_out_tongue: :joy:

How farking good.

Go Bombers!!!

I wouldn’t know

Oh boy! :thinking::man_shrugging::roll_eyes:

We can play the long game like we did with Setters. That move has worked bloody well so far. Such a good inclusion into our team and an absolutely critical cog.

Anybody still think we shouldn’t have Phillips and Snelling in the side?

The Carlton board are melting because they let Phillips go.

I haven’t really warmed to the idea of Brad as coach.

Just because of past performance.
But FMD - he is impressive.

Interesting comment from Redman - it’s what we all knew but really drives it home.

Might be ok to come in here this week.

I am too petrified to acknowledge this question.

Good effort by everyone. Impressed with how they hit hard, chased and tackled.

Nice little break before the Anzac day game and got a day more than the Pies. Gives BZT enough time to recover.

Hope Merrett doesn’t get sited for that tackle. With that Collingwood grub in charge as MRO, nothing more guaranteed than a suspension.

Just saw a replay of the Merrett tackle. He didn’t pin the arms.

Both of the arms were free.

Feels like a bit of a turn the corner moment.

Time to break out a Hooker red to mark the moment.
