Essendon by 8 points.
FG Naughton.
BOG Bont.


Feel our effort is more consistent than Essendon's week to week, but if they bring their best, I think they're more likely to execute and can hurt us with speed / pressuring our over-possession game.

Lots of loss of faith.
Mine shaken too.
This is what faith is for.
I believe we'll get the job done.
To not is unthinkable.
My gut stirs for this game.
Some anger there.
We've challenged so well in games we lost from lapses.
Not this time.

I want Bevo to talk up our confidence, like Scott did before the Geelong game. If he does this then we win.
He needs to get into the players minds that we are good enough - why not us!

O yes I remember Scotts confidence well and then his teams.
Yes but Scotts was not a show.
It was well founded.
He felt Cats would get us and they did.
Bevo is sincere too. If he feels that confidence it will be well founded.
Can't be a fabrication.

Oh yes ., the game that matters.
We don’t turn up.
Let’s just watch them do what they want.
Our strength is supposed to be our forward line and it’s disappeared while our depleted back line just gets hammered all night.
Khamis in the ruck ? Who came up with that idea ? That’s like putting Daniel on Hawkins.

Really feel for Buku left in the VFL for a long time and it shows. Until he can do more without ball in hand will never be an AFL player unfortunately.

I think we are watching two average sides here but I do admire the boys effort after quarter time. I know Smith has been ordinary with ball in hand but his effort has been a massive step forward tonight.

That was a really good team effort. I thought we had a very good spread of contributors and some outstanding contributions.

Libba was immense - all game. Bont likewise. Treloar was on and when he's on we gain metreage. Excellent game.
Baz is back. That drag down tackle was so good. He worked hard and used his pace well. Jacko got plenty of the ball and used i9t well
Tim English got better as the game unfolded. Francis was a non factor around the ground but Tim did a lot of good things.

Caleb Daniel was very solid all night. When he has the ball good things happen and my pulse rate slows.

Our forwards were lively with Cody and Jamarra the stand outs. Baker had a good return and Scott played his bit and kicked an important goal.
I thought our defence was solid with Richards and Dale leading the way. Essington kicked 4 goals after 1/4 time. That's it. Their forwards didn't get much of a look in.

We are still very much in the mix. Faith has been restored. In Bevo We Trust.

I had this game pegged as bad loss from preseason until mid way through the second.

The EOC are worse than I anticipated but I feel like they were supposed to play brand of footy that would give us grief, they didn’t, so credit to our boys. No Danny from Droop St vibes from me today.


Had a great day at AAMI Park, a few points post game, dinner in town and then into the game. Was the most fun at the footy I’ve had in a while. Absolutely annoyed the shit out of Essendon fans and ruined their night, was satisfying.

What do we think of Poulter ? I think he is reliable and I thought Baker was unlucky to get subbed out.
Scott was good tonight . West gets in good spots but we don’t seem to kick it to him.
Bruce probably his best game which isn’t really saying much . Keath was good to see his run through the middle.
Williams should play. I think he always gives us a good option.
Vandermeer extremely quiet .

I think Poulter had some great moments. He showed poise with the ball in hand and made some good decisions. He had one bad moment where he hesitated and got pinged holding the ball in our D50. Probably just needs to find the footy a bit more often. 14 touches tonight.

Quarter time were they like 10 clearances up? Or something like that.
