[Tiger Khosh]

McCarthy not taking any chances ahead of his move out west

[TigerLand]

A bit concerning with the lack of youth in midfield playing in our VFL. Sonsie and Clarke is it. Feels like that is really light on. Who is injured not playing?

Cold night tomorrow night at Franga.

I predict Meatball's hamstrings will ping in the second quarter.

[wayne]

Why not play Balta?

[Tiger Khosh]

Same reason he’s not playing in the seniors. Gotta be in bed by 11pm

[WilliamPowell]

Why not play Balta?

Curfew

Game starts just after 7pm, won't finish until just before 10pm

[wayne]

Fair enough 

[one-eyed]

First two goals to us via Alger and George.

But we just turned over the ball in D50 kicking across goal when there's a dicey breeze and gifted Essendon their first goal .

14 - 7

1/4 qtr time

Rich: 2.4.16
Ess: 2.2.14

Essendon had the breeze which they reckon is worth at least 2 goals

[WilliamPowell]

Clarke had a set shot about 30 out, started out looking Luke was going to go through the middle, breeze grabbed it and took it right and it went OOTF.

Reckon breeze took 15-20 metres right

Twice Bauer ked out and breeze held the ball up, Bombers in the hole got an easy mark

Considering the breeze we did well

Two Tigers get side-stepped by stupidly overcommitting . Gift them a goal on the break  .
