Essendon and Richmond practice match for Mildura - Friday March 17.

[Moi]

First time i've seen Johnston - has he been playing all day?

You sound surprised Moivoia?

Nah, not surprised - we've got a lot of players gone missing today.  Actually, i reckon he should get a bit of heat a la Tivva - pretty ordinary year last year i reckon and not much of a captain.
But it's just a practice match i'm told lol

another goal to them

[letsgetiton!]

another goal to them

paddy hits cleve on the chest, bangs a 55 m goal! great kicking action, he should play rnd 1

[letsgetiton!]

simmonds marks a centre clearance 45 out, rather than go 4 goal passes , stuff it, rebounds lucas misses/

[Moi]

Wondering why Meyer hasn't been getting a gig - from what i saw in training he was going okay.

[letsgetiton!]

patterson kicks a 55 m goal after the siren, he will be good !!!

Danny still needs to do more in games. Apart from the 3 goals in a quarter in Shepp he hasn't done much else.

simmonds marks a centre clearance 45 out, rather than go 4 goal passes , stuff it, rebounds lucas misses/

Now that is unforgivable even in a practice game.

Wonder if the Gold Coast game took a bit out of the us as well.

it was just like tha nab v hawks game, we just did not look interested, i think that may have been the plan, im sure the doggies had there spies there, no excuses, but u just could tell we did not give a crap

and we're just practising...

[letsgetiton!]

lucky they kicked bad

[mightytiges]

Only difference to the NAB game was the Hawks didn't punish us on the scoreboard like the should have.

Thanks for the updates X, Ramps and Moi   . I've got to head off. Have fun OS X.

positives
petts, tuck, raines, foley, pattison, cleve

negatives
tiv, rodan, harts, roach, knob, simmonds(even though he kicked 2 he was shocking)


richo busted his guts, hyde, newnam, gas, joel, paddy, brown,  tried hard

bling and krak were everywhere early, then just fizzed out, bling needs to slow down, loses his compsure cos he is going 100km per hr
lids didnt do much, sugar wasnt sweet


all in all , i am going to forget this game and hope while im over seas we are better than this,

when i get back, if tivendale is in our team, i will absolutely get the mafia onto him and take him swimming....................with the fishes!@

[letsgetiton!]

for all those who didnt belive me when i said petts wil be a tuff bastar..... 4 us, think again, he was by far our toughest today, showed tuck like aggression 4 the footy also
