That typifies what we're about this year and what Monfries is about as a footballer. Sacrfised his own game to do the team thing which allowed the goal.
There were quite a few special moments, but I really liked Mark McVeigh's tackle on Josh Carr, his bouncing straight up to gather the loose ball and then slot a running goal from 25 - 30 metres out was brilliant.
I liked MJ's double twist screamer, from an almost vertical jump.
McPhee's was a beauty, as was the Welsh grab which wasn't allowed.
Jetta's run was scintillating...

Ump paid a free for hands in the back to the other Essendon player in the goalsquare and then paid advantage.
Yes, but the advantage was that McPhee took the mark, then handpassed it away. Technically, that play was allowed to continue, so therefore, it is a mark...

Agreed there Benny. For a stockbrocker who has been out of the footy for a while, you seem to know your stuff.

Yes, deep down in this rugged frame with limited physical abilities, lies a genius!
