    Papley's first goal came from a beautiful tap from Bell to Heeney who went to Kennedy and then Papley.

      Once again all of you true blue supporters throwing your toys out of the cot and writing them off before the game is even half over
      Essendon have been on and we have been poor and look a little off so far. Way down on tackles in the forward fifty compared to recent efforts and Essendon have had some easy marks as a result.
      We will lift in the second half and Horse will be pointing out a few shortcomings during the break.
      Shutting down the influence of Merrett and Parish will make a big difference

        How does a poor but still close half of footy mean we’re not a top 4 side.

        50 to Buddy was soft but so was the goal to Tippa as were the two HTB against him
        He ate more cheese, than time allowed

          Bloody Kennedy cost us a goal. Heeney was going to mark that ball and Joey came in on him. Nor good team work.

            Yes let's all just forget all the wins done so far this year the fact that Brisbane is currently being beaten and if we win this game and if Port lose will be in the top 4. lets forget that and and just say we are not a top 4 team based on 1 poor half of footy. I mean seriously.

              Papley was definitely held. Buddy get tackled and it a automatic free kick. He has to have a chance to get rid of the ball Mr Chamberpot! Look like they are in fairy land at the moment. So many missed tackles and so little pressure placed on the Essendon ball carrier. I suppose they were due for a bad one and this is it.

                I will say we are not a top 4 side even if we somehow manage to win this. We give TOO many sides a lead and rely on comebacks. That's not always going to work.

                We can't keep rolling the 'comeback' dice and expect to win every time. Bloody hell, I hope I'm wrong.

                  Need at least 3, if not 4 decent quarters of footy to compete with the best. Swans are young and have a lot to learn, and that’s ok.

                    I read the families are in quarantine until Thursday. Hopefully they are then granted permission to travel down.

                    The constant moving and travelling will probably have an affect on the players at some stage.

                      Where is that team we used to watch, the one that ran with the ball, delivered it to a well placed colleague, was ready when the ball came to them and when they didn't have the ball took it off the other side? It's the other lot doing these things.
                      And what is the matter with Rampe?
                      He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

                        Too many turnovers
                        Too much fumbles
                        Bugger all pressure
                        Really missing Rowbottom
                        It's very hard to live in a studio apartment in San Jose with a man who's learning to play violin. That's what she told the police when she handed them the empty revolver.

                          Really good movement from half back.

                          Loving the movement from half back and wing.

                          Just the final delivery inside 50 and forward craft. Get that right and we win by 6 goals.

                          Big opportunity as the Hawks look to have accounted for Brisbane.

                            The ball was knocked out of his hands. He had the ball for a nano second. But we have done some awful stuff. Wicks 4 stats for 4 clangers I believe. And that perfect Kennedy spoil on Heeney was.....and a goal from the turnover.

                              Interesting comments I would say that top 4 teams find a way to win in different situations. that's why they're top 4 teams.

                                If Kennedy and Parker don't lift (like they have the last few weeks after 1/2 time) we are in big trouble.

                                Percentage is a good indicator (this late in the season) of how good a top side is.
