Against the odds we got home!
I don’t think I’ve ever seen such an uninspiring 2-0 start to a season tho
You sound disappointed - why am I not surprised? I am pleased for the win and not a 5 goal loss like you stated.
I’d rather see us playing good footy and improving on last year. At this point winning or losing is irrelevant.
Unbelievable. Don't worry we'll lose one in due course, just be patient.
If you’re satisfied with just beating a team that played some of the worst football I’ve ever seen for most of the game, that’s fine.
I’d rather see us kicking 16.10 and not 10.16. Not butchering the ball bombing inside 50. Not kicking it out of defensive 50 with no system whatsoever.
I’m happy with the win, not ecstatic.
Did love Bruce’s mark and goal tho

I have to ask - and it will set CURLY off - but what changed at 1/4 time - we were 9 to 6 in the free kick count - from there - 20 to 12.
Clothes Hangers
Deliberate (I reckon Lonie could have disguised it - but it was harsh)
HTB
Illegal disposals
But still, they reversed the trend - I am at a loss.....
Because we gave away more free kicks in that period, I don’t see how people find this hard to understand?
The umpiring was fine, some went our way some didn’t. 21-26 in the end. Swings and roundabouts. Lonie’s brainfade rushing it through wasn’t the best.

Essendon were under extreme heat to perform today and we withstood them and the umpires again. My god what I’d do for us to be umpired like Collingwood.

Imagine how good we could be if we could deliver the ball better into the forward line AND convert our opportunities.
Amen. Would be a 5-win better team instantly.

The deliberately rushed rule appeared to have two different interpretations today!
The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.
They can even WATCH LIVE FOOTY!

Happy with the effort & any win against Essendon is a bloody good one even if we struggled to compete as well in the second half
I agree - but you have to admit - that 2nd quarter was fun to watch!
Yeah mate if we could kicked a bit straighter we would have been at least 6 goals up at half time but still a good win

If you are anything other than a fat old turd sitting at home living vicariously through other people, that attitude would make sense.

But you're not. So it doesn't.
I’m not sure if you’re calling me a ‘fat old turd’ or not

I only saw the last quarter but what I saw was a team pretty comfortably hold off another. Not sure why some aren’t happy. Well done boys.

Do you think our round 2 performance this year, was better than our round 2 performance last year?
Don’t bother looking it up. It was North on Bad Friday
Yes I do. But the only team I’ve seen play as badly as we did that day was Essendon today for large parts.
I’m just disappointed there doesn’t appear to be any major changes with our game plan from the last few years.
So Essendon played as badly today as Norf did against the Shockers last week? Don't let a few facts spoil a good story. Keep it up your anti saints perseverance will eventually be rewarded

The umpire opened his present. When will Richo learn; socks don't cut it.

Don’t know, didn’t watch it. How’s that for a ‘fact’?
