Ess vs Adel match thread

[Mrs Mercuri]

A couple of hours before the match and im excited to see how our young guys will go tonight... especially our defence without Fletch and Pears and how TB goes in the ruck without Hille.

Can our forward line kick enough goals to win? Can our midfielders win the ball enough through the middle? Will our defence be able to hold the likes of Tippett, Walker and Porplyzia?


The game is being shown live on 10 tonight so im guessing a lot of people wont be on here. It is also being shown at Windy Hill tonight and Jason Johnson will be available to chat on the EFC website during the match.


I havent tipped us to win... but i hope its a nice, tight game.

[Ossie]

Got a terrible feeling for some reason.

[BenDoolan]

To please quite a few, Henry Slattery in in doubt for tonight. If the selectors have any brains, they will select Courtenay Dempsey as a replacement.

[BERT]

Got a terrible feeling for some reason.

So do I.

[Jazz_84]

im positive for a good showing tonight, they have to rectify 2009

[Mrs Mercuri]

No changes to either side....final teams were listed on the AFL website.

[Mrs Mercuri]

Patrick Dangerfield goals for the Crows after a bright start by our boys.

Tyson Slats doing some nice things down the wing and McVeigh in the action early!

[Mrs Mercuri]

Stants and Davey both miss dribbling shots at goal....

[Royza]

Good stuff HH, no stuffing around!

[Royza]

Prismall cost us that goal.

[Mrs Mercuri]

Hocking goals after about 20 handballs around our forward 50....

The boys have started really well. Tyson Slats is playing full back on Walker at the moment. Hooker on Tippett.



We had complete control of that and what does Prizz do.... kick it straight to a Crows player... goes down the other end for a goal to Walker.

[Mrs Mercuri]

Quinny gives away 50m and Goodwin kicks another crows goal.

[Mrs Mercuri]

We just arent finding targets up forward at the moment... Crows running it out of their defence way too easy.

Tippett gets another one

[Royza]

How do we give them so much space in the corridor?

Crows are rubbish, and we are worse.

[Mrs Mercuri]

bloody hell.... tyson slats gives away another 50m.... Crows kick their 5th goal

hmmmmmm not looking very promising.

[bomberdonnie]

bloody hell.... tyson slats gives away another 50m.... Crows kick their 5th goal

hmmmmmm not looking very promising.

I think it was Hooker for running behind the Crow

This is looking really promising for us so far

[Mrs Mercuri]

Is it just me or does Prismall always wait for the ball ... he just doesnt seem to want to put his head over the footy or get crashed into...

Gumby took a lovely speccie!!!

[Royza]

Some soft f****** decisions.

[s'dreams]

Being absolutely done over with vaseline by the umps... the disparity in frees and 50's when the sins are occuring both ways is disgusting. The kick to Davey's head was the worst.

STI
