    Yeah that's a good point- It's just that it's been such a disappointing year, I don't want another enormous defeat to add to the psychological impact of the defeat last year...I think that could really cause some serious problems with our group....not to mention myself and other fans...

    But yeah you're right- I think it can be beneficial

      Or you 'want' to believe that. You really have to stop putting the bad performance of players on the coaches....when the opposition gets a run on a malaise can go through the players, it like a virus of doubt.

      Do you really think the coaches would ask the players to change what's been working all night? "Righto boys, now play not to lose". I highly doubt it.

      Anyway, we won so we can all be happy.

        Very happy for the boys to notch this win.

          Was that JMacs best game for a longtime ? It bought he had some outstanding moments

              It seems to be a never ending story. Lead by 4-5 goals and the opposition runs over us. That goal from Papley and the lucky bounce was our life saver. It very concerning how many one on one contests we seem to lose. A win was nice but something is not clicking correctly.

                The most important move of the night was McInerney from front to back half, where he made several match saving plays, but go on.

                    Based on that we are no chance against GWS.

                      Oh, so you think the players made the decision to play slow football and ultra defensive from the beginning of the 4th... Righto...

                        Only one came back straight after half time when we kicked those 3 goals. Then the rest came back and unfortunately Essendon started playing better. They all left quickly after the final siren ????.

                          Very tough watch

                          JMac was very good in a few 50/50
                          Warner rusty but at least he continually takes territory
                          Clearly a few experienced down on form tonight
                          Clarke has to have a tag or no point

                          Glad to get out of jail

                              Absolutely! It nearly went pear shaped - but it didn't!

                              Beating a team with finals aspirations on their own ground? Lovely!

                              GO BLOODS!!

                                Luke Darcy. What a pillock in front of camera.
                                Patterns emerge, but do they mean anything? No.
