Essendon* set the tone.
Theyre punching above their weight division by not being meek.
Agree with that. Not just Lonergan, but Ryder too. They're playing with aggression, speed, and flair. Hate to admit it around here, but I loved the way they played last night. And I know I'm a broken record, but it all starts with Jobe - he's in the top 10 players in the AFL atm, and I'd have him and his consistency any day before the erratic Franklin and Rioli.
I agree with both of you.
Hate to say it, but they're playing a style of footy I really enjoy. Tough, relentless and lots of gut running....and hitting the scoreboard. Can't believe how the strong have stood up after their gruelling preseason strengthening campaign. The weaklings seem to have fallen over and made way to 100 minute footballers.
I think we will overtake them as the season unfolds...well I hope so...and I hope we see that sort of toughness in our guys after next season's preseason too...if it works.
