how is gus going ?

Thank gawd for Lids and Foley. Tucky working hard but it's Tucky so he just bombs the ball forward whereever.

Bombers pace and spread from the stoppages is killing us. Hille having a day out in the ruck especially against Vickery who has had just one kick.

If we had stayed within 3 goals to half-time then we may have had a chance to overrun them as their runners tire but a 5 goal deficit is too much to make up. Bombers can always kick just one goal to snuff out any charge from us and maintain their comfortable lead.

how is gus going ?

Not our worse by any margin. Losing against Hille in taps but is at least involving himself in the game and linking up through the midfield. It's Vickery as second ruck who is struggling.

We got it forward but Essendon rebounded and goaled.

37 - 72

[tiger till i die]

we are so crap

[one-eyed]

Rance goal  . Sheesh fought hard for that one.

43 - 72

[one-eyed]

Vickery took a mark but stuffed playing on. Poster to Bombers.

43 - 76

[one-eyed]

we are so crap

we're just young and inexperienced. Under pressure we cave and into ourselves so don't run enough to create and take risks.

[one-eyed]

Bombers goal. Margin out to 40 points now  .

43 - 83

[mightytiges]

I might be biased but it feels like every 50/50 umpire call is going Essendon's way. If it's against us it's paid.

 

[one-eyed]

Well that sums up the night. Can't get it out of the backline and then literally hand the Bombers goals.

43 - 90

Getting very ugly an one-sided again now.
