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.

McNeice clearly held, umps are on the seemingly inevitable bandwagon, nope. Goal directly results.
39-53
Wind stops and their snap gets through.

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.
Rushed

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 …
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!
