Roberts in a tracksuit at the qt huddle - quite a few senior players here incl Libba and Picko

Did Roberts play in qtr 1 or not at all.

Re: Round 20 - 2018 Footscray Bulldogs v Essendon

Great goal by English after a free - wind really playing tricks with the ball and his kick took that into acct

Re: Round 20 - 2018 Footscray Bulldogs v Essendon

I think I have only seen 3 clean passages of play for the half and they were all by ESS. Very much a game being played in the clinches. HC getting it a fair bit as are the usual VFL suspects (Hayes, Nash, T-B). Good contests in the ruck with Campbell and English vs Leunenberger

Re: Round 20 - 2018 Footscray Bulldogs v Essendon

Was just checking who might be the emergency for tomorrow with teams back on the ground and just realised Porter was not playing in the in the first half at all - suggest he is the emergency

Re: Round 20 - 2018 Footscray Bulldogs v Essendon

Game restarted with sun shining. ESS get an early goal.

[Smads57]

Re: Round 20 - 2018 Footscray Bulldogs v Essendon

And they add another against run of play 6.7 to 4.9

[Smads57]

Re: Round 20 - 2018 Footscray Bulldogs v Essendon

Lots of skirmishes and one off the ball plus 50 gives ESS a 3rd for the qtr

Re: Round 20 - 2018 Footscray Bulldogs v Essendon

And another from the bounce - Dogs need to draw breath. 14 mins down and ESS 8.7 to Dogs 4.10
