I find the St Kilda game style boring.They are like robots.
I didnt mind the tightness of the final and it was entralling in that it was topsy turvey. However St Kilda are not a flashy side and I think my hatred of Riewoldt went up about 100 notches after that dive at the start of the 3rd qtr.

Sometimes you can appreciate the contest, you dont need 20 goals each to be a good game.
In a word, No.

Pressure definitley caused the turnovers 90% of the time, and the other 10% was perceived pressure. You could not wish for a more committed effort in trying to dispossess the the footy from the opponent.

It was a shambolic game of football made bearable by the stakes and the closeness of the score. Had it been Fremantle vs Port on a cold June afternoon at AAMI, you would have turned off at half time.
I have watched "high pressure" finals football for the last 40 years and that gmae does not compare to some of the amazing finals where players are literally dying for the cause yet the skills and flow of the game are still on display.
Long Bombs to Snake, boys!!!

I loved it. It was brutal and uncompromising. 2 good teams going hammer and tongs.
I think the effort will break the Saints though, the cats have basically had another week off.

Whilst I much rather watch Essendon's style of play, it aint going to win us a flag.Filthy wrote:
And people like that? Yeah good on ya Roos and now Lyon....you going to bore us all to death.
No wonder people love watching us play.
I was there on Friday night and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed. It was super tense, physical...having said that, if the scores hadn't of been close it would have lost a lot of its appeal.
Like sand through the hour glass, so are the days at the Essendon Football Club.
