Inside 50s: 14 - 8

We have the breeze apparently.

Houli has a ping but it's OOTF 

25 - 14

Who said there is a breeze? Fox Footy said none and it's perfect conditions.

I thought they said it was a light breeze.  Enough to cool off the players, but not enough to influence the flight of the ball.

Defensive structures holding up well. Need to make them pay on the scoreboard though!

Credit to the Big O, he's looked ok.

It looked like Essendon had a patch in the middle of the qtr where they had our defence under seige but we stood up. The rest of the quarter was controlled by us. Last 4 shots were for 3 points and 1 OOTF. We've still got to learn to make the most of our scoring chances.

Big O has 7 possies 

Tigga (5 in50s), Dusty and Houli with 6 disposals.

Hutchy said the Essendon kick-ins were being held up by the slight breeze. It's Hutchy so it could be complete crap.

Our switch of play is too slow. We not outflanking them and we're getting pushed back when we do it. It just cost us a goal.

Titch long out of the middle but Fletcher beats TV to rush a point.

Tuck to Grigg but he misses from 40m on the run  .

Anyone watching fox footy?

Is it just me or does the commentary sound very essendon focused?

Heppell is hearing Dusty and Tigga's footsteps everytime he goes near the ball

What was Jack thinking there? Have a shot Jack instead of trying to be too unselfish.

Geez Jack. It was a soft free but you've got to keep your cool.
