I am o/s at the moment, does anyone want to provide their views on who played well and who didnt
Jack obviously with 6 goals. Gave Pears a bath.
Edwards tagged Stanton out of the game so did his job.
Lids was a rare Tiger who used the ball well over the whole 4 quarters. Problem is he needs to be used in defence so we have someone who can kick it out of there and hit a target.
Tuck tried hard and got a heap of it but it was typical Tucky. At times just bombed it forward without looking.
We got smashed in the rucks and in the first half in the clearances. Hille and Ryder won the Bombers the game. 20+ marks and 5 goals between them. Vickery got a harsh lesson especially. Hille played with him running off into space and up forward because he knew Ty couldn't go with him.
Cuz had a shocker. Looked totally off the pace.
Cotch had the ball 25 times for 19 contested possies. Had 8 clearances in the last quarter or something ridiculous like that. Unfortunately his first half was poor by foot so that let him down.
Webberley did some nice things. Rance did a couple of clever things and kicked two goal in the second half.
Martin serviceable but not something to write home about.
Our small forwards were no existent.
Davey who got the Bombers going in the first quarter spanked Kingy who was unsighted all night.
Our defence in terms of spoiling did fairly well considering how often the ball was coming into our backline at times but we once again couldn't get it out of there and we turned over the footy embarrassingly. I would say at least 5 of Essendon's first 7 goals were from our dumb turnovers.
