Another high rainmaker into F50 turned over. Sums up our day.

Essendon go coast to coast for a goal.

51 - 73


Gawd, I hope the seniors don't play as thick and hopeless as this  .

Don't get the wraps on Banks?  Hasn't got near it when I've watched. 

[one-eyed]

LOL. Sorry for laughing but that was pathetic u10s defending.

Didn't pin the tackle so the ump gave the Bomber player ample time to get the handball away. Then Trezise spoils the high ball up the corridor 10m away straight to a free Essendon forward who kicks the goal.

Once again embarrassingly brainless footy .

51 - 80

[Broadsword]

We don't look interested.

[one-eyed]

Bradtke long bomb from 55 misses to the left.

52 - 81

[one-eyed]

Actually, show some forward pressure and the errant Bomber kick is marked by Banks 40 out. Misses as well to the left.

53 - 81

[one-eyed]

White high ball to 25 out and Banks marks. Gets this one  .

Rich  8.11-59
Ess  12.9-81

11 min Q4

Sonsie inside 50 and Cumberland chest marks in a pack 35 out. Goal! 

Rich   9.11-65

Cumberland and Sonsie our highest rated players on the ground.

[Broadsword]

My word, Bradtke, you can't kick it from 10m out -- you need to be 7m out?

[one-eyed]

Dumb Bradtke. No awareness whatsoever.

[one-eyed]

Two easy goals blown .

Brindley tries to chip it rather than just kicking the ball normally.

[Broadsword]

So much time and space but can't make the distance from 30 out.

It must be tear-your-hair-out stuff coaching vfl. Talk about shooting yourselves in the foot.
