VFL 1st Qualifying Final V Essendon

[spook]

It was not a game for wingmen today, the ball just didn't get out there much. So we can forgive Naish, Turner and KMac, and KMac was good in defence in the second half.

Bomberblitz. Their team throws away a 40 point lead and they blame the corrupt timekeepers for the loss.

It was Alex Rance on the horn.

Menadue is playing at his level.

They're idiots. 1st quarter 31 min, 6 goals. 2nd quarter 35 min, 7 goals. 3rd quarter 34 min, 9 goals.
4th quarter 34 min, 8 goals. Think there was a blood rule in there too

I guess bombers supporters would know a thing or two about cheating

I reckon the VFL miss a great opportunity to televise the AFL bye weekend games on prime time TV.

Just watched the last Q
Complete destroyed.
Nank killed them.

Gotta laugh at poor essendrugs coach Jordan. Reving his players up for the last Q
“Are you ready to blitz boys! Get ready to blitz!”
Um... no.

Channel 7 didn’t stop the clock for time on.
Just kept it running
No way to know how long each Q had.

To put that win in to some perspective, in the entire history of the VFL/AFL (firsts) there have only been four higher three-quarter time leads that were not enough to win the game.

 

[DavidSSS]

Wow, only watched the last quarter. Thought we were gone at 3/4 time. But they got close so quickly and just scraped over the line. A truly great win on what has been a difficult day personally.

In that case, each quarter was 20 min plus time on

Indeed, it was like the old days, you didn't know when the quarter would end, makes it more exciting.

Gotta be a huge lift for the whole ckub

Exactly what I thought. One week to go before Brisbane and club must be feeling "locked and loaded".....can't wait

 

[turk-d-tiger]

Great Game and amazing last quarter

Nankervis , Pickett , Morris - Great last quarter (special mention to Moore also did alot of off the ball things)

Menadue , Chol , CJ , Garth consistent all game

Out: Balta , Short /or Ellis
In : Nankervis , Pickett

Yes i would play Pickett his work today was brilliant and strong

 

[TV Josh]

We need to wear our clash guernsey from here onwards in the finsls. Something about that yellow and black seems to give us the against-the-odds winning edge. Maybe it makes it easier to spot teammates with peripheral vision?

Is that what he was saying?
Blitz? All they ended up doing was Blitzing in their jocks...
