35 disposals for Parks. The two have been fantastic tonight (for all four quarters) unlike some of the others who dropped off their intensity and tiredness too.

[Ampersand]

I think Bird should be omitted for Hannebery next week. His effort tonight has been very poor.

[billyboob]

How was that not holding the ball? And then they get a goal! Ficking facks.

25 disposals and 5 tackles. Okie dokie..

Good win in the end especially after backing up from the Hawks clash.

Career high disposals for Parks. 49 hit outs for Pyke too.

Not a chance. It'll be towers without a doubt. Not that towers was bad tonight but bird and Hanners will have more effect than towers and Hanners

Wow, bad call on my part. I guess I was just swayed by his poor efforts around a few 1%ers. He looked like he was moving in slow motion sometimes.

Membreys a keeper

Having watched that on tele here are a few thoughts (disclaimer: didn't see it all):
Centre square clearances need work. Looked like Essendon cleared it out too often and too easily.
There is no need for us to try to be too smart with the ball - often instinct is better than over thinking the situation
Luke Parker is a gun
Ben McGlynn's commitment is fantastic
Adam Goodes' first half was turning back the clock
Mike Pyke needs help both with ruck work and with an on field rucking partner
Kurt Tippett is not fit
Liked the newbies games.

[Flying South]

Jetta VERY proppy.

We did enough.

[Swans500]

As I said last week...Tippett is another Bradshaw for us...just a bit more expensive....

[Jimitron5000]

Another thing, I thought the umpires were generous too us tonight. Maybe the first time I have ever thought that

[ShockOfHair]

Tippett's still averaging two and half goals a game and saw out the game tonight. That's a good result.

Pretty satisfying win. In the 3rd and the last quarters the team lifted just when it looked like the Bombers might run over the top.

Amazing how McGlynn and Parker, the junior members of our midfield, have become the leading lights in the past month. Malceski did everything right - he actually ran the kick-in out of the 50 just at the end. Can't remember the last time I saw that. Good work by Grundy on Carliisle. Goodes was amazing - haven't the opposition teams worked he can't kick on his right? Rampe just doesn't stop. Rohan just gets a bit better in each game.

Pyke topped dream team points.

Pyke topped dream team points.

and smashed ryder and bellchambers in the ruck stats.Can't believe some are unhappy with his efforts.
