Petterd doing well since coming on after half-time.

RFCVFL twitter: "Stephenson has been terrific today - in the ruck and around the ground. Moving very well for a big man."


Elton takes a good grab and has a set shot. BUT it's another reversal off the ball - this time against Waite.

[one-eyed]

That dumb reversal has cost us back to back goals and kept Essendon in the game .

Almost a 3rd straight to the Bombers but they don't make the distance from 20m out. Good chase by Banfield.
