Everyone’s playing behind…

Dickson point assist. Now a set shot from 45…

He is destroying us.

33-9

Dickson cops finger in eye?

Dickson Watch.

Quick kick forward marked by their 64.

39-9

Getting murdered one out and on the lead… Any chance we could put an arm across your opponent

McKernan in the ruck finally.

Getting dominated around the stoppage. Backline under immense pressure.

Another goal to them

Yep, killed at every contest

Merrett gets fist in on sideways kick, keeps his feet, runs in to goal.

15-39

Bad turnover by foot by them in the back half. Merrett spoils, a quick one two then strolls in for an easy goal

Younan been lively the last 5 minutes

Smack getting into it… centres to five Footscray players. It really looked he knew what he was doing till it left his boot!

Lucky goal… We aren’t playing with system or purpose… Two instructions… Put an arm across your man and play in front… And mids talk to Mckernan and be on the move at stoppages

Younan is playing the role of Essendon CHF today…

#19 snap point for us.

And it goes the full length, killing several minutes of good pressure, to…

Dickson.

McKernan burnt on overlap… Slow reaction. His man gets it and delivers into fw50 for a goal…

He goals, of course.

45-19

Dickson has 4 plus two goal assists?

Mckernan then takes it out off ruck at centre bounce and smashed forward… There’s a representation of a career there in those two plays

That man Dickson again! Dogs out to a three-goal lead as he makes it look easy from the pocket.#DonTheSash

Laverde kicks harder than Hooker from fifty on the run… and misses everything.

Point to Hind.

Zerk contested mark. Ball goes forward and Long goals.
