Essendon v Richmond Match Thread

[paddyl90]

Well Im almost about to head to the g and soak up the build up whilst checking out indigenous pre match curtain raiser. Onto the game, ifb youre confident well i wish i was as confident as you . Should but never is the case with our mob. Anyway go bombers don't let me down.

[j-mac31]

I'm confident.

I think we have enough new players in that the attitude will be better than in previous years. Plus King is playing for them.

Missed the entire pre-match stuff last year - bar.

Just finished watching the first quarter.... great start and a pity we arent further in front. Seems as though the Tiges have settled now.

Fingers crossed that Melksham is ok...

Howlett, Davey and Hille were the standouts in the first quarter.

[Splodge]

HT 10.6. 66 to 5.7 37

Took foot of the gas for end of 1st 1/4 and beginning of 2nd. Appear to have settled down again.

One or 2 of the misses sounded bad.

Jetta, Fletch, Melksham and Prismall sound like they are having good games.

[Mrs Mercuri]

Yeah we missed at least 4 EASY goals towards the end of that quarter.... Licha missed two awful ones.

We are tackling hard and should really be further in front.

Our better players:

Hille, Fletcher, Davey, Jetta, Howlett, Dempsey, Melksham and Prizz.

haha yeah all wondows in Tassie have panoramic views

[Mrs Mercuri]

end of the 3rd quarter... handy 41 point margin but again we missed some easy shots in front of goal.

Hille is dominating around the ground.... Prismall and Jetta were standouts in the 3rd quarter.

[Jazz_84]

did we win? did we win???

[robrulz5]

If we don't win by alot I'll be annoyed.

i'm annoyed that we didn't win by more!

[Jazz_84]

7 goals up late in the first, we should have won by 10 goals absolute minimum!!!

I guess it lowers the expectation for next week which usually means we play better.
