Last week I pleaded for Essendon to free whatever offense they had them, for Wales to totally dominate the ruck and give their mids first use and to not stack the back line - so how'd they go?
They weren't too bad over the course of the game while watching the game but I think in the end it was down to the Hawks being down so many key players then anything the Bombers did as they had their average total disposals of around 260-odd but only 21 inside 50's v Hawks 238 and 42.
They didn't move the ball with anywhere near enough conviction to stretch the Hawks anywhere near like Port Adelaide last week that showed some deficiencies defending against fast and direct ball movement - not an Essendon staple.
Hales had on OK game from a stats point of view (15 possessions, 7 tackles and 28 hit outs) yet the Bombers were beaten in clearances 21- 24.
I just think at this point the Bombers should be playing to what they want to be with everyone playing rather to who they currently have on the park now.
Today we look at:
- Essendon Numbers (Again, Again)
- Essendon Wing Pushing Forward
- Essendon Fat Side Line
- Essendon's Team Defense Breaking Down
- Essendon Not Organised at Center Bounce
- Hawks Inside to Outside v Essendon Outside to Inside
- Hawks Not Using Their Winger Inside Forward 50
