Round 4: the root canal games.

Essendon have the wrong game style to be successful. They over possess the ball and amass enormous levels of uncontested possessions.
Merrett, Heppel, parish, Martin … they all get a lot of the ball but don’t really hurt you.

Soldo earning his dough. You could never accuse Dixon of being a smooth mover. Allir is very fumbly when under pressure when the game is on the line, one-grabber when the game is under control. Ratugolea good, did his job.
 
The bombers are bad... slow, no pressure
He can't coach. He ruined North fingers crossed he leaves Essendon the same.
Where's Lloyd?? They are worse then us.

**Richo 'Essendon miss Durham' WTF???

Is Tastas the new Jimmy Toompas?? Pick 5 2022 ND Draft

Butters, Rozee, and Horne Francis have some real toe. How many times did they burst out from the centre square which resulted in goals.

That Butters is a good player. I had him in my multi so I watched him closely all night. Possession numbers were down because he spent a lot of time on the bench (only 74% game time), but he still racked up 26 running at a disposal efficiency rate of 81%. That’s damn good given the situations he’s getting them in.

His ability to find team mates is excellent.

And to top it all off, 7 tackles.

Butters, Rozee, HF, all break tackles, run fast and take a bounce up the guts, and kick long and hit a team mate on the tit. Compelling tonight. Didn't seem to really miss Boak or Wines.

Butters and Rozeee 'hit a team mate on the tit'
HF tends to go headless chook mode and miss 'hitting a team mate on the tit'

Hand out Norf will ask for more priority picks season end

Nope, got enough priority picks and still rubbish.

They should be told, you ask for a priority pick and we merge you with Footscray.

You know it makes sense!

BTW, nice to see Essendon fail dismally.

I maintain Port have sold the farm which will kill them over the coming years.

What they paid for Soldo, Zirk-Thatcher, Ratogolea will make them competitive but a few years down the track they wil be nothing

Agree. Don't worry about round 5 or round 6 Port's test is playing in September
But this is powerball, you struggle to pick 1 good kid, they picked 2 in 2018 and they are really good kids.
