Good chain of hands opens up the play. Open goal and Arnot misses.

Wall then has a snap from 30m around the body but it doesn't make the distance and marks by a Bomber defender.

44 - 67

Astbury has hamstring tightness. Gone for the day.

Hampson playing on with strapping around his right knee.

Playing with a shorter forward line but we've bombing it long to where the Bomber defenders are :facepalm.

Our VFL-listed players have been shocking today.

We give up a soft coast-to-coast goal to the Bombers.

Lloyd then ignores the man over the top and misses an open goal  :scream.

46 - 75

Same number of inside 50s but disposal efficiency has been poor.

They continually waltz out of our F50 and then lock it in theirs. Although a lucky bounce gave us a second chance to score a goal

We get the clearance and kick it long inside 50. Gordon gathers and does a blind up and under. Essendon clear and run it up the other end uncontested for goal. The story of the match.

Our VFL-listed players have been shocking today.

They always are - really do need to upgrade on most of them asap.

We're playing two leading forwards (one tall, one midsized) and they continually run into the same space and spoil each other :facepalm.
