Round 3 - Other Matches

Re: Round 3 - Other Matches

Pretty amazing finish.

Well done Essendon on the comeback. Jesus I hate Essendon.

Freo let themselves down letting Essendon come back. Good comeback and win from Essendon though. Mayne would be shattered.

Essendon is Ross Lyon's kryptonite

Absolutely howler by Chris Mayne...nothing worse than a happy Essendon supporter!

Essendon outworked them in the end.
Mcpharline's absence cost Freo significantly, and Ryder will get a few for that.
The Pav is in a world of pain, Carlisle pantsed him.

Likewise. We've heard all week the players aren't affected by what's happening.
The reaction after the game... Sure it doesn't.
Freo have to throw the kitchen sink and some and get Buddy urgently.

Essendon can indirectly thank Stephen Dank for that win. He's inadvertently motivating them towards win after win with the mud-slinging he's doing.

When's he going to learn that Essendon will rally around Hird come hell or high water? He's not going to bring him down the way he's doing it by feeding snippets to the media, whether they're true or not.

Looking forward to see what North do this week. If they cough up this round they could just about kiss their season goodbye.

Ditto Carlton. They need to be able to beat a team like Geelong if they're going to be a legitimate threat.

Don't be so sure. administering medicine by IV is illegal. I'm not really sure how Essendon are going to get around those text messages.
I hate Freo even more now. Upset my tipping! Can't believe they gave up such a big margin.

McPharlin going down really hurt their structure.

McPharlin going down really hurt their structure.

Do you think? On a wet and slippery night they didn't miss him anywhere near as much. Essendon actually were too top heavy in the first half which is why they subbed a tall for a mid

Re: Round 3 - Other Matches

Dare I say it. Do fans feel a bit skeptical of Essendon's ability to power on at the end of a game?

Re: Round 3 - Other Matches

Freo will struggle to maintain that game style for whole games and indeed the season as a whole. It is extremely labour intensive and if they do not score when on top they can be run down.

An in form Pav would be a major positive though.
