Yep the tanking has started. Intensity has dropped off in last 3 minutes waiting for the half-time siren.

52 - 36

We killed them in the midfield that quarter and so our delivery into the forward was good. We have the classier top tier mids with Cuz and Cotch back in the side plus Lids. It's the next level and our depth which is where we are tested to run out games. Our tackling pressure has been terrific in that half but we dropped off completely towards the end. Similar signs to last week and last time we played. The margin is exactly the same as half-time we played Essendon too.

McGuane has given Lloyd a bath. We've been able to completely shutdown their fast runners in Winderlich, Davey and Lovett.

You'd expect us as a young side to get overrun in the end as we tire but Essendon are way overrated. No way are they a top 8 side. One very ordinary footy side when they can't play their frontrunning gameplan  ::). They should get knocked out in the last round by Hawthorn and finish 9th ;).

We got it forward and out of bounds deep forward but Essendon clear the length of the ground for a goal  :P

We've stopped  :help. Lucky Riemers is a dud and stuffed up a certain goal.

Lucas now goals. We can;t get our hands on the footy and when we do we can't keep it.

But we get a quick reply thanks to Newman and Hislop. Jacko from 45m goals  :gotigers

Edwards free. Vickery good mark off to Cotch who finds Morton on the boundary. Point.

Lids beautiful pass to space for Morton to mark 47m out. Too close to the man on the mark again and it's another point  ::).

No doubt with so much at stake....Bommer fans will have a sick feeling in their stomachs

Shades of the 3rd quarter against Carlton.....not taking our chances.
