VFL - Round 2 vs Willy @ Willy, 2pm Saturday 14 April 2018

High free to them in front of goal.

A typical Essendon tackle !

They aim across the face and the wind turns it ninety degrees for the goal.

39-46

McNeice clearly held, umps are on the seemingly inevitable bandwagon, nope. Goal directly results.

Wind stops and their snap gets through.

39-59

Clarke?

Our best, comfortably.

39-60 and then 39-66.

Loony strongly abusing the ump for allowing that goal from the ruck contest.

Hind needs to take some humility pills. Caught again, Long-style.

P.S. Long is injured, I’m told.

Willy keeping our percentage good.

Wow. Three consecutive kicks that flew backwards halfway through their flight and thereby ended with our players. A scramble at our fifty and then a fourth kick does the same for a Younan mark and goal.

Play of the Day.

45-68

Home ground advantage … :roll_eyes:

When we the last time any of our sides played well in the wet or in windy conditions. It’s a friggin winter sport but we just don’t have a clue. Money for jam loading up on the opposition when this weather is forecasted

Great brave mark by Bezerk Thatcher. Truly fantastic, especially with a chin sticky-taped together.

Are we in Q3 or Q4?

You would think training out at Tulla, they’d have a fair diea of how to play in the wind!! As for the slippery conditions, just have a look at the surface they train on. My pool table is in worse shape!
