Funny for us to be the speedy side.
Anyone got the stats term by term on the frees? We're getting some of the soft ones now.

I can start to relax now and after a slow start the new era starts on a bright note.
5 goals from Lloyd and now 38 in front. North sound F**Ked on their feet. Although never a professional sportsman to sound that knackered 2/3d's of the way into the opening game of the season. What were they doing pre-season???
Make that a 44 point lead
That tosser Walls finally concedes that we might win this one.

Carlton Football Club - Surely a contradiction in terms?

Looking good now.
Re: Round 1 Essendon v North Melbourne Match Thread
I'm enjoying this....watching the Bombers play so well against a team we haven't beaten since 2001, while my 5 week old daughter is in her sling having a sleep on my chest.

3-qtr time
Nor 7.9.51
Ess 15.5.95
Cannot imagine that we can belt the Roos.
I am sure that they will at least come back a little.
Can't believe this. It's beautiful.

Re: Round 1 Essendon v North Melbourne Match Thread
I am loving this a long way to go though
Spike killing them...
I love the way we have played tempo footy to cool things down a bit
McPhee had a massive quarter too looked very good linking into the forward 150

Splodge, fair suck of the sav, it's meant to be 28 degrees at the start of the game and humid, and we have used the bench an arseload more times than they have.
Most of the players are looking a bit tired, tho we're certainly fairing better than they are.

Re: Round 1 Essendon v North Melbourne Match Thread
Absolutely loving hearing this go on. Great way to start the season. I only wish I could have been there in the flesh to see it; but this is still way better than not knowing anything about what's happening in the game at all.

Re: Round 1 Essendon v North Melbourne Match Thread
Can someone who can access the AFL site (aka not me, I'm satellite so I'm TOO SLOW) please get me the stats for free kicks per term? Facinated to see if they spent the third term catching us up after the first half.

Re: Round 1 Essendon v North Melbourne Match Thread
All I can find is that we've had 13 free kicks so far, and the Kangaroos have had 21. Can't find the quarter-by-quarter breakdown though.Megan wrote:Can someone who can access the AFL site (aka not me, I'm satellite so I'm TOO SLOW) please get me the stats for free kicks per term?

Ok Patrick you can get excited now.

cannot find quarter by quarter breakdown Megan, but it's still 21-13 in North's favour.
Re: Round 1 Essendon v North Melbourne Match Thread
Dont worry megan i have been excited a long time ago. 2nd spot will be nice. Geelong @ the dome next week looking forward to it very much so but on this game pile some more points on % may come down to at the end of the season.

Re: Round 1 Essendon v North Melbourne Match Thread
Geelong didn't have a scrappy game did they? After this pace and weather our boys will be feeling it, hope it doesn't carry over until next week and give Geelong a head start.

Re: Round 1 Essendon v North Melbourne Match Thread
Lots of hand ball and kicking but little action otherwise, just a bunch of very tired boys poking the ball around now. No tackling or marking to speak of.
Next nine minutes can't pass fast enough for them I reckon, esp. for the Roos.
Jetta left the ground to have a poke in the eye checked but all good, and back on.
