4 behinds to start the 2nd quarter.

Essendon    1.1      3.3-21

A lesson in bad kicking is bad footy. Keeps the opposition in it. We should be 11.5 and 50 pts in front; not 5.11.

[one-eyed]

Hugo, Dow, RCD & Banks the best for us so far.
Parker's kicking as usual lets him down.
Biggie has been a bit fumbly today in the contest.
Brown better after a quiet game last week.
Miller quiet first qtr as the ball hardly came down his end but solid that 2nd qtr.
Samson being pushed aside by the bigger bodied Phillips.
Stack and Clarke playing as pressure forwards.


Stats to HT:

Hugo 15 .... 6 inside 50s
RCD   14 .... 3 clearances
Dow   13 .... 3 clearances (all 1st qtr)
Parker 13 .... 3 inside 50s
Miller  11
Banks 10 .... 4 inside 50s
Brown 10 .... 3 inside 50s
Martyn  9
Biggie   8
Ryan    7
Clarke  6
Stack   6
Cumberland 5
Mansell 5
Sonsie 5 ... didn't touch the ball that quarter. Didn't notice him out there as the qtr went along.



Disposals:  177 - 156
Marks:         57 - 54
Clearances:  12 - 11 ..... 4 - 7 that qtr
Inside 50:    33 - 16
Tackles:       16 - 19
Hitouts:         6 - 17
Frees:          11 - 8  ....  1 - 5 that qtr so back to the status quo  .
