Who was subbed off for Walla?

Did they get a drink bought for them first?

Sam Mitchell making them trawl through Blitz after that effort

Brad is definitely an Essendon person now the way he is speaking.

Nicknames, “we will”, “we haven’t” etc etc …

Not like one of the other ones in recent times.

I loved BDB frowning and shaking his head in the box during the game.

I loved that we went into quarter time complete trash, and came out after it having resolved some issues and just belted them.

I loved that you could see what they had been practicing during the preseason play out.

I loved that the blind hook kicks over the shoulder were minimised.

Walla, Davey, Weideman, Setterfield and Ridley kicking goals was awesome.

I loved that we won, and won big.

I did not like us getting belted in the midfield leading into qtr time.

I did not like the joggy joggy after opposition players, although it was worlds above last year.

I did not like the lethargy that crept into the game early in the 4th when the result was done and dusted.

Weideman was heavily iced after the game. Anyone know if he’s ok?

The Rutten nightmare is over. Some hope finally

Hawks pressure was dogshit though.
It’s probably going to still come out when there’s really good defence around the stoppage. (Might happen in the Saints game, doubtful if GC will bring it)

After such a good win, you have certainly found a lot of things to not like.

Not bad seeing you wouldn’t have played him.

I’m not really interested in going around in circles about it. I have my view on him playing, but what happened was great to see, the two can coexist.

A coach that doesn’t um and ah every sentence is quite a sight to see.
