Hurley absolutely magnificent. Marking and reading of the play was exactly what he had been lacking this year up until yesterday and he put on a clinic.
Big crowd, surprised to hear the figure was only 44k. People still rolling into an already packed top deck in the second term and not being able to get seats. Reminder of what we’ll see if we ever pull the finger out for more than three weeks and a nice way to go to the footy in comparison to sitting there with about 10k others against GWS last year.
Just hear Matthew Lloyd on access all areas, he said the Essendon not make the finals,because they are too soft, also Mathew says about Joe Watson he’s too slowly around the grounds, you can’t playing the forward line , too slow off the mark ,he indicated that he should retire
I’d love to be wrong on this and honestly you do miss a few things being at the game of which player’s did what, but i used to do some of the same moves he does when i was in under 12s and didn’t want any body contact.
Fair enough not every player loves the physical stuff but I’ve just seen it too many times with Mitch.
I think you might be right but we can always hope. I think many of wanted it to be different and had expectations of what could be. Reality is a hard task master. We may end up basking in the shallows with Horeforn and Sydney.
And; if that’s how it is, we’ll have to tough it out but we don’t have to like it!.
Of the Returned, only Colyer and Hurley have been in any form. Jobe looks cooked, Howlett, Stanton and Hocking will struggle to get regular gigs, Hooker is uncomfortable up forward, Heppell seems injured, Tom Bell is a question mark and Myers has yet to get a crack. Do we give serious games to Mutch, Redman, Francis, Begley, Stewart, McKernan, McNeice and admit the dream is over? Think I’ll get me coat.
