Essendon’s Kyle Langford has missed a set shot in the dying stages to ensure the Bombers drew with Collingwood in an Anzac Day classic. Tonight the Giants clash with Brisbane.
Tom Green, what an effort. The Giants lead by 12 points and are up and going.GWS Giants 1.0 lead Brisbane Lions 0.0 Emerging West Coast star Harley Reid has been rested for Sunday’s AFL clash with the Suns on the Gold Coast, but premiership hero Liam Ryan is back.
The Bombers cannot win a final and break that embarrassing 20-year drought until September. But if that benchmark cannot be negotiated for months, if they make the eight – Collingwood on Anzac Day represented another benchmark.This is very much a question we do not yet have an answer for. The Pies were awful for the first 20 minutes yet if Jamie Elliott holds on to a diving mark in the final seconds they probably sneak over the line.
To be 50-50 after seven rounds is not a bad spot to be in for the Pies, who can reasonably believe they will improve considerably second half of the season once they catch up on conditioning after a shorter preseason.The Essendon edge is real. We now have a sample size of seven games and in all but one the Bombers have lived up to the football department phrase their marketing department would have been happy to come up with.
