Nope.

Farking 3.8.26 and apparently only one of those kicked, so the boys are putting the pressure on.

Green kicks his second. We’re two points behind coming to the end of the second quarter.

Wasn’t aware Colyer had returned, and he got in the bests. That’s good for him.

Good thing I didn’t go. Telstra refused to connect to blitz (only) for about four hours…

I see you’ve had some coverage in here which is good. Disappointing loss, the effort was good we really just struggled to score in a scrappy contest and missed a few chances we needed to take. Effort and work rate were terrific, just couldn’t finish off.

I had my best as Redman, Francis, Hind and Long in that order.

IN A NUTSHELL: Footscray kept the Bombers at arm’s length throughout the contest under lights at VU Whitten Oval after bagging three goals in the first 10 minutes of the game. From that point, Essendon closed to within six points of the lead three times at different stages but was never able to edge in front.

KEY MOMENTS: The Bombers found themselves just five points in arrears after back-to-back goals from Dan Younan and then Jackson Merrett midway through the final quarter. However, Fergus Greene sealed victory for the Bulldogs with two majors in the space of five minutes in response.

LEADING GOALKICKERS: Footscray – Dunkley 2, Roberts 2, Greene 2 / Essendon – Green 2

FORMLINES: An up-and-down season continued for Footscray (4-4), which has now beaten top-four teams Richmond and the Bombers in between some frustrating losses. / Essendon’s (5-3) loss ended a run of four straight wins.
