Beating a virtually full strength Essendon with 8 of our best 24 nt there and 4 playing just one half is great.
Bombers are not much chop. Free agency is about finding what you need snd filling that not finding a superstar for the sake of it.
Goddard will lay a role and that's it. Anyway enough of the Bummers.
Rance for me was BOG.
Loved Edwards game and his tackling.
Vlaustin will be a gun.
McGuane pleasantly surprised me and.
We may have found a depth ruckman while McBean develops. Big O was great against Ryder, Halia and Bellhalia.
Tuck was solid.
Petterd may have found a role but if he goes for that on the young Bomber kid in the first this game has deteriorated into a joke.
Depth is finally there and add the influence of Chocco on top and we may have something real worthwhile that will be sustainable.
Second and third tier were great.
I watched the last quarter in full and the number of errors Jako made were enough to ensure with this depth that surely the coaches know he is not a top 24 player at the club but just an average ressies player at best. Too many past him now, no excuse to play him.
My concerns are in our appearances so far we have kick 19.36 which will be okay t get us over the line against minnows like Melbourne and Essendon
,
but the better sides will punish us.
Need to get that killer instinct and nail those 25-50 metre goals consistently. Arnot missed some sitters in the last. Vickery should have kicked two also. Would have made the result more clear cut and not given the opposition or anyone in the media an opportunity to give the Bombers an excuse on why they lost or a sideswipe on us.
All in all a good day and things are building nicely for us with legitimate claims for sustained on field success.
On a side dish would love to see Jimmy Hird and co fall on their sword and him being the first coach to bite the dust this year. For poor on field performance.
Just in Essendon's new membership campaign " Our skata stinks too".
