Falls to Polky after a ball up 45 out who snaps and goals! 58-33

58 - 33 our way

Polkinghorne kicks the goal!

Essendon 9.4 58
Werribee 5.3 33

Needed that one to get scoreboard to reflect game.

Poor kicking out of defence costs us as they capitalise on a turnover at the 50 and nail it from the pool pocket. 58-39

Stupid short kicking to run down clock hands them a goal.

Lovely pass from Elmo to Grimley. Goals after siren!

Great ball movement from defence sets up a shot at goal after the siren from Grimley. GOAL

blitz is running about 2 minutes ahead of the radio for me!!

Brilliant football out of defence as we work our way up the ground, Grimley makes on the lead 50 out… Siren… Lines up… BANG. 64-39 at the half.

Grimley goals. Gets his 2nd for the day

Great crowd. Good ovation as the boys go into the rooms. Reckon Grima is thinking he didn’t play infront of this many in the seniors at Norf.

Half Time:

Essendon 10.4 64
Werribee 6.3 39

Ess Goals: Redman 2, McKenna 2, Grimley 2, Laverde 1, Polkinghorne 1, Micheal 1, Jack Langford 1

Great atmosphere here, lovely day for it. Most impressed by Polk, Long and LAV! All look very likely to make ‘things’ happen. Agree with Sal that Long needs to back himself inside 50.

I’m getting serious aroused from Longy’s play so far this season, it appears to have clicked for him

Chips are hot, not overly salty and capped off with good quality sauce. My first ever VFL game.

Talk Verde to me
