Essendon Game thread

Bit of an indifferent performance tonight.

Great to beat the Bombers twice for the season, but it wasnt all that convincing even though we led all night.

Richo was at his best, have to be one of his best performances.

Simmonds dominated the ruck and did well around the ground as he does.

Joel Bowden was fantastic on Scott Lucas, still provided us with good drive.

Krak was going well until he hurt his ankle, been playing well the last 4-5 weeks.

Matty White worked hard again tonight and also showed a lot of aggresion, like the look of him.

Tambo is going to be a superstar, very smart footballer with talent to burn.

A mixed bag tonight. The good patches with excellent and the bad ones very ordinary and not up to AFL standard both skillwise as well as not mentally switched on over the 4 quarters.

The big fella was sensational  . Not only because he kicked 9 goals 5 and took 19 marks  but his workrate is amazing. He was totally stuffed by the end. And outmarking 2 and 3 bomber defenders at a time. He's a freak. He kicked 10 against the doggies but tonight was better IMO.

Joel was very good for mine. Lucas did kick 4 but held a shakey defence together and gave us us heaps of rebound.

Pettifer with 3 did his job. LOL @ Mark Johnson. What a hero  .

Simmo was good around the ground and his mobility caused Essendon problems and he won plenty of hitouts but we got smashed in centre clearances which was disappointing against a side that's 15th with just 3 wins and maligned for its lack of pace in the midfield. 

Great stuff that we've kicked 20 goals or more 3 weeks in a row.
