Well dissapointing to drop a 6 goal lead but leading by 6 goals in the second qtr means nothing in todays football, esspecially with a young side. At half time i said to my bro, we must hold off their comeback! Unfortunately we couldnt match/counter what they threw at us. Loosing Stiffy and Jeansch was the catalyst. They were all over the unnacountable small FWDs of Essendon. The effort and intensity was there for 4 qtrs we just didnt put them to the sword when we were well on top!
PositivesPetrenko - cant believe he isnt in the votes thread more
Talia - Thought he shows some good signs, needs to tidy up his disposal a bit
Jacobs - Best effort around the ground we have had by a ruckman for a long time, needs to work on his hits to advantage
Sloane - was busy as usual
Johncock/Jeansch the way were working together was fantastic
Tambling - Thought it was his best game for the club, 3 errors but did some ripper tackles and worked hard
NegativesThompson - 37 possies at 57% efficiency

- but been very good all year so cant really have a go at him
Reilly, Doughty, Van Berlo - these 3 were our 3 worst players on the ground by an absolute country mile
Brad Moran -
Our FWD Structure - once again we lacked structure up there, we went inside 50 terribly and hopefully Walker should be back this week
Midfield - why we give up front position and try and push our players undr the ball is beyond me, it means we are flat footed and anything short of the perfect bounce we are stuffed. Campo, you have to go!
Moving Forward Aiden Reilly, Brodie Martin, Taylor Walker must play the rest of the season and Doughty and Brent Reilly removed!
