It was the draw we had to have.
And the other 'best assist' has retired. There's not a lot of genuine ones around. It's as easy to call yourself 'best assist' in a shallow talent pool bereft of bests as to call your yappy Chihuahua a service dog in the USA.
Mitchell has been fine ths year , Sidey ready to retire or only play in forward pocket off the bench WHE or Lippa or anyone else to wing

correct - dont know why Sidey wasnt , I reckon Fly said once last chance?
Think Goodly
Senior List
Harrison was very good - 7 possessions at 100% and a goal in a quarter of footy
Very quick around the ground too - should be a walk up start next week I reckon
A trumpist/valdemort ( aka Dutton) one I reckon
I think Howes is one our poorest backmen now, constantly turning over the ball with simple 20-30 metres kicks to dangeorus positions must have had - 3 or 4 that cost us dearly
only help Mihocek needs is in dropping ball on to his foot, Mcstay will be back for finals
Howe cant be far behind, and his clangers are far more damaging

Appreciate these summaries PonsfordFly's presser
You've been involved in some epic games in the last few years, that must be up there?
How do you sum up the game after that?
Have you worked out in your own head to what degree you go with a glass half full or glass half empty feeling?
What about the first 15 minutes of the match when Essendon kicked the first 4 goals. What do you think happened there?
Were you not switched on or were Essendon supercharged?
Jamie Elliott's mark?
Were you surprised that Elliott couldn't hold onto that mark in the end given his record in close games?
What about the overall pressure rating? That's what turned the Port Adelaide game around and do you feel it turned this game around as well?
What was the pressure rating if you could share?
How was Jamie [Elliott] after the game? Have you spoken to him?
It was a quieter game by Steele Sidebottom, but he was important in the last few minutes of the match. How did you see his game?
Another great speech by Darcy Moore post game. Does it feel like he has found some rhythm on the field with reading the ball really well?
What's your view of the 'Draw vs Extra Time' debate?
Was the draw a fair result?
Isn't today's draw a just result and one people will be satisfied with?
That last minute where both teams get a chance to win, are you playing to win?
Any injuries?
Anzac Day is always an amazing occasion. Can you give us some insight on what it's like to stand on the MCG. You were pretty emotional coming off.

Mate, you called Steele's career over in 2017 as shown by jmac70
You have lost your speculation privileges on his career.
As the coach said in the presser, "plenty of miles in those legs yet".
Correct most BF baggers call their opinions from watching TV, ONLY at the ground can u see the work that goes in ( which is what the coaches see) , fortunately noone here is a coach else we would be a North Melbourne with some of the drivel posted here
Unless there are photos of things of which there shouldn't be, and someone is able to manipulate the situation from within. He provides a bit of offensive nip. A whole game would test him.
Damn. Have to return the knives to their sheaths.
They dropped Reef as they saw a need for a different player as sub for THIS game obviously, not because he didnt do enough last week .. simple as that

I think I saw Cox win four centre bounce taps , every one to the advantage of bombers MIDS, maybe a our mids need to be smarter?

They surprised me TBH much improved on last year from what I saw. We’ve had slow starts but at the same time teams must be wondering how much of a lead is enough against us. Our gang tackling when we switch on is really good, I actually think we’ve improved our stick rate this year.
VFl has no ruck we are playing guy (Begg) almost same size as Cripps as primary ruck, and have maybe 2 reasonable mids in McCrae and Sullivan, rest are very ordinary, look at how many mid prospects we have delisted in past 3 years , we havent hit gold with any of our 2nd or 3rd rounders that i can recall - better to trade for some and quickly.
Yep at that stage of teh games 95% players cooked, noone running forward to give him an option ..

Agree. Bombers have some very good players, are well coached & played extremely well yesterday.

Our defensive zone is an absolute shambles.
It had been noticeable on watching games on TV this year, but going to watch them live yesterday for the first time it really smacks you in the face.
We are just so easy to move the ball through from one end to the next, with players have absolutely no accountability for an opponent, nor locking space down with the zone.

I agree , Schultz workrate is 110% doing everything coaches are asking, and he is tough, and a great shot a t goal perfect replacement for Elliot as he reaches end of his career ..
