Lmao at the umpiring.

Lmao at how ugly Daniher is.

Lmao at  4-10

They'd wanna get their poo together for the second half and deliver at least a 40 point smacking.

Let's hope that the boys wake up to themselves in the second half and start playing some tough, wet weather footy.  The Bombers have absolutely nothing to play for and they are making us look timid.

Kicking for goal in the wet should simply not be this bad, even with a wet ball you should be able to kick a ball straight for Gods sake. You can almost sense that this is one of those games that no matter what we do we are destined to lose. The longer the Bombers are in the game the harder its going to be to win tonight, we need to put scoreboard pressure on so that they drop off. Our poor conversion in front of goal is just inviting them back in the game. Am sure all agree that the game so far has been one of the more frustrating games this season to watch.

Our over-possessing by hand in the wet has been just as frustrating and infuriating as our pathetic goalkicking  .

The only enjoyable thing from the game so far has been Lennon's marking.

[mightytiges]

Ivan out of the guts from the first bounce and Vickery marks 55m out. He then finds Newy 30m out. Misses as well  .

35 - 30

[mightytiges]

Brilliant Macca. Clever soccers in the wet and finds Dusty = goal  .

Rich  41
Ess   30

[mightytiges]

5 minutes of crap is going to cost us a goal  .

Lucky Carlisle can't kick.

41 - 32

[mightytiges]

Good F50 tackle Lids and advantage is paid to Thomas who goals  .

Rich  47
Ess  32

Where was the protection goal side of the stoppage? 

Geez, we've done some dumb things tonight as far as footy basics.

[mightytiges]

Great mark Floss.

Miles taken high right in front of the ump = no free  .

[mightytiges]

Newy subbed off; LLoyd on.


Lids 5 bounces and then kicks it out of bounds.

[mightytiges]

Make hard work of it and somehow Grigg soccers it through for a goal  .

Ess   38
