Round 12 Essendon v Nth Ballarat @ Eureka Stadium, 1pm Sunday 9 July 2017

Youtube stream seems to be about 5-10 seconds behind DJRLive, which is a vast improvement over Channel 7’s 90s last week.

Lots of kicks being blown off the southern side of the ground.

2.2.14 trails 3.4.22 at quarter time

We look so average! Really disappointing how bad we are with the absolute basics

Nobby calls pre-coach huddle.

Is the wind an enormous advantage to either end?

I just turned off the live stream.
Doesn’t seem so bad if you read it.

That was one of the biggest abominations of a quarter I’ve ever had to witness. Isn’t this the same NB team that can’t win a game?

I can’t think of any positives. Woeful kicking, handballing backwards to the guy running forwards… I guess not being down by more is a positive?

We were kicking with the wind that quarter.

Why isn’t Langford playing?

Held over for Friday, same with Begley, also appears no Luey or Dea. Probably because of the 5 day break factor to Friday.

I expect seniors to have one or two. We are looking a little tired.

No we weren’t.

On the stream we kicked it down the line and were saying how it went 60m because of the wind giving it extra distance? Happy to be wrong.

Draper Howlett Nobby Hocking in middle.

Ta.

And Bird, any injured?

We have all experienced plodders in the middle. Yay for the VFL.

We definitely have the (modest) wind in the second quarter.

Commentators also said the roosters captain won the toss and chose to kick against the wind which was a suprise.
