Our effort is there but st Kilda finding space better on the outside.
1/2 time
Essendon 5 8 38
Sandy 9 5 59
So Sandy had the wind first quarter? And then we made nothing (well, 0.5) of it in the second? Yikes.
Why wouldn’t you believe Clarke is a big-bodied goal-kicking midfielder?
Correct.
We kicked maybe 3 or 4 behinds. In Q2 out of 5 or so shots.
It’s a carnival atmosphere here . Truck on the outskirts of the huddle , Giansiricusa playing kick to kick with his kid.
Stkilda team ran past me. I am 193cm I guarantee half of them were taller than me, about 6 midgets
Oh I’m firmly in the “Give Clarke a chance” camp.
Danny not seeing much of it but creating chaos when we do get the ball in. Stkilda structure up well even when under pressure down back and always have players wide to clear the ball.
Frawley playing back I presume? Shouldn’t be a mismatch with Eyre and McBride up forward (& McLarty?). If it is a mismatch it says something about how far off it our young tall tall forwards are.
So half time stats, who are our major ball winners ?
Players out, 2 minutes to renewal of hostilities
Ham O’Kearney and Clarke it seems.
Durham with 10
McBride down back.
Ham kicks to an outnumber I50 ball goes end to end goal to them
Disappointing
Bombers control the opening 5 mins, repeated forward entries for 2 points
Sandy kick easy coast to coast goal
Us 40
Them 65
Does Ham ever choose the right option?
Another one
Us 40
Them 61
McLarty quote “FFS”
Could have kicked a goal
Hannebery gt a kick!
Turnover city here
Ham is clearly not an AFL standard player.
