Whoa. Lions serving it up to the Dees.

Leading 46-14 nearing half time.

[Dark Beanie]

Lions won by 22 points.

[pietillidie]

Great to see the self-entitleds beaten, and even better by Brisbane, who in contrast were dignified in defeat last year.

Beveridge looking shell shocked. The expected Essendon collapse didn't eventuate.

[Donny]

Dons 50-42.

[Magpietothemax]

Éssendon 65
WBulldogs 51

Essendon collapse has not occurred.
We need to make sure we don't underestimate them for Anzac Day. They are capable of fast ball movement and significant pressure.
W Bulldogs underperforming. Their midfield has been squashed.

[Donny]

Essendon look the better team. Leading 84-53.

Bevo not happy.

[Magpietothemax]

Surprising result.
Bulldogs look like they haven't got it this year as well.
Bulldogs midfield has been smashed (Bont- unsighted in 2nd half, Liberatore -unsighted, ...)
Young Essendon mids have smashed Bulldogs midfield.
Harrison Jones is an absolute champion in the making.
We will face them on Anzac Day while they are on the crest of a euphoric wave. Need to prepare well.
On the positive side, PA was clearly made to look good by Essendon's pathetic effort last week.

[Clifton Hill-Billy]

^ yes that makes the Port game even more crucial to win, if we play like we did against the dawks and get crushed, our confidence will be at all time low whilst the dopers will be full of peptides and God knows what else come Anzac day. Lose the next 2 and the premiership mountain becomes almost unscalable

[Donny]

First up today. Manuka Oval. Canberra.
