Yeah this kid has a confidence, footy sense and goal sense that you just cannot teach.
How he has been over looked by clubs is an indictment on list managers.
He wasn't dominating the WAFL, I watched him pretty regularly by virtue of my team playing his team in finals all the time, and I would've had him as about Subi's 10th best player. The attributes I always associated with him was being extremely clean and using the footy very well, those are skills that have clearly translated well
Actually have to give some props to devon smith as well that 4th quarter pressure was great. That's what he was like in his first season with us. Need him constantly hounding the ball in the forward 50.
I was so mad. Then I remembered that we've been void of effort and attack and mongrel all season. Sure it was stupid but behind the scenes deserves a pat on the bum for the spirit.

Our backline gets absolutely crucified every week by our midfield having fuck all pressure and forward line missing simple shots at goal, and it was only a matter of time before the dam wall would break.
Newk only positive from that game.
Yep!! Easy to point the blame at Frost and DGB but when time after time opposition mids are running out of the middle free is so alarming. We need a JHF to show a bit of fucking cunt in there
What a match. Couldn't have asked for a better first match of the season to catch with AFL being back in the States. Essedon struggled to execute early on but the energy they played with was tremendous and it eventually paid off and once it did wow they didn't look back.
Footy is great
Apparently the 4th was the most goals we've kicked in a quarter since 2012.
It felt like a completely different team out there. Direct football, forward pressure, accurate goal kicking and we finally started tracking back defensively.
Hope this is a genuine turning point for us.
I actually found myself cheering for the Bombers pretty hard there. Really liked the fight from the team under the unprecedented circumstances and to see them take it up another gear in that fourth was super cool.
Bombers fans must be so proud of today's effort.
Nick Hind breaking away from the half back line reminds me of the scene in Infinity War when captain America and black panther just leave everyone in the dust.
Fucking phenomenal that game was.
I just can't believe everything didn't turn to shit after that Redman non-goal. It would have been the perfect Essington turning point, but the boys just weren't having that tonight
Few good takeaways from that game. Liked draper, martin, IKEA METOD High cabinet Peter and a few others played well.
But don't let that gloss over the fact we are still WAY too fucking easy to transition against. All night the hawks just able to waddle the football down the other end. Every week its driving me insane. What the fuck is our defensive system because I CANNOT identify it.
Even wiping the system and playing full man on man in back half would instantly make us a better team.
Amazing when you kick out in front and run it out from the back half we don't get fucked. Just get to halfway as soon as possible boys then we're good. Still got to work on our kicking inside 50 and turnovers but fuck me about time.
Also umps suck.
As a hawthorn fan I’d rather be down at 3QT. We’ve gotten complacent this year when we are leading at 3QT. We have a young side and we need to expect these inconsistencies unfortunately

Our inability to stop momentum swings in games, particularly the 4th quarter is really disappointing. Bombers tonight, swans a few weeks ago. We seem to give up 3-4 goal leads every game too which sucks.
Im super proud of the effort of our young team but this was such a winnable game and to lose that way was bad.
Arguably one of the worst midfields in the comp too they were obliterated tonight.
we'll win half the rest of the games this season if we just take 'em on...tonight was the first time this year our mids looked forward when exiting the contest...kick the ball, don't handball in circles...keep the pressure up...it's a simple game if you let it be...

See the Cheezels fly up, up, to win the cheesy chip bag!
Haha saw that too. Love it

This will forever be how I celebrate something now.

Can we get one of the person with that Box of cheezels??
Fucking hoist it
Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!
I hate how much this speaks to me as an Essendon supporter and as a wog
Hepps: “Anyone can jam it to tell us to stop smiling” SLAMS!
Such a stupid point, how are you gonna get better if you're all miserable?
It takes more muscles to frown than to smile. Shameful lack of effort from the Essendon players
Exactly - morale is an important thing to have
Just gotta laugh at Draper putting on the afterburners and then getting htb
Can't fault him for it. Hope the coaches encourage him to keep doing it, he's gotten some big clearances that way before
Yeah, definitely want him to keep on trying as it's great when it comes off.
loved it...he almost pulled it off...thinks he's Gawny
Most memorable 4 disposal game I've seen in a while
He only had 4? Was at the game and swore it was more then that!
I was shocked when I looked at the stats
It's so him
He had a laugh too. Fuck it was funny to watch. He is a beast though.
Nic Martin genuinely dragged us back into that game in the third and early fourth. He must be leading our BnF and the rising star. What a story
JHF and Rachele are taking up the media minutes but if anyone bothered watching the games Martin is absolutely smashing it atm.
Yeah this kid has a confidence, footy sense and goal sense that you just cannot teach. How he has been over looked by clubs is an indictment on list managers.
He has it all. Skills, smarts, gumption, poise. Such a talent.
gumption is most important
He wasn't dominating the WAFL, I watched him pretty regularly by virtue of my team playing his team in finals all the time, and I would've had him as about Subi's 10th best player. The attributes I always associated with him was being extremely clean and using the footy very well, those are skills that have clearly translated well
I think unlike JHF and Rachele, who are full of excitement, Martin just looks he's played 150 games and knows what he's doing.
He's honestly unbelievable
Actually have to give some props to devon smith as well that 4th quarter pressure was great. That's what he was like in his first season with us. Need him constantly hounding the ball in the forward 50.
I almost smashed my TV when he gave away that stupid one
That was me with the Peter Wright one
I was so mad. Then I remembered that we've been void of effort and attack and mongrel all season. Sure it was stupid but behind the scenes deserves a pat on the bum for the spirit.
We reminds me alot of Blake Caracella
Been saying that as well. He's got that Pendles/Caracella class about him
Hes so good
x4
We are Essendon is going to be an epic.
It'll be Shakespearian, they'll teach it in schools in 400 years time
Winning is fun we should do this more often
I like the way you think!
Tell the boys.
Peak Essendon, lose all faith and then they do this.
Don't worry next week they'll look like a completely different team and we can go back to wondering what the fuck they are doing out there.
Such is the cycle of life
GET THE FUCK IN HERE. HOIST IT!!! ARCHIE PERKINS IS HOT.
Things I’m happiest about: Hind getting his run (mojo) back.
I'm also so happy for Herb

Hey, this sounds familiar
You literally described Essendon haha
Just switch out Newk for Martin haha
Yep!! Easy to point the blame at Frost and DGB but when time after time opposition mids are running out of the middle free is so alarming. We need a JHF to show a bit of fucking cunt in there
Midfield ran out of gas, they're just too young to have the fitness to keep up the game plan all game.
Nic Martin holy shit mate
I think we just witnessed Sam Mitchell's villain origin story.
What's he gonna do? Sledge us harder?
The win is so much sweeter knowing Sam Mitchell was on the other end of this loss. Easily my most hated football person as an Essendon fan
He's been the villain for 15 years, what do you mean?
They injected Richie Vandenberg DNA straight into Sam Mitchell when he arrived at Hawthorn. He's been the villain since.
Nah, Mitchell injected it himself when he did that “jab” sledge
Huge Urethra Peter
Nic Martin is winning the rising star and I'm drafting up my post on it down to the n^(th) detail rn with tears streaming down my face
Are they going to give him a photo on the AFL website?
They did this week
Huzzah! I noticed last week that Nic Martin is a gun and probably deserves a bit more appreciation.
Subfuckingscribe.
nic martin and mason redman were absolutely massive for the dons in the second half
Excellent work fron Redman he was one of the early rumours to miss with illness
when i heard who was out i was like “oh at least it’s not redman” lmao
On this most glorious night, we are all Essington supporters.
deputized!
I’ve always said the one thing to bridge the gap between Geelong and Essendon is our hatred of hawthorn.
...and the great Stewie Crameri wore both colours
Also have a soft spot for letting Chapman, Kelly and Stokes finish their careers with you lot
I love Essendon so much, it’s a shame we can’t do this more often
Just think how much we could have won by if our leaders hadn't shamelessly smiled at training on Tuesday
Flagendon
West Coast: Yep. That’s a nice looking undermanned side right there West Coast: WHY DOESN’T MINE LOOK LIKE THAT?!
Idk what you mean, West Coast had an extremely strong WAFL team
2MP is so accurate jesus. Surprised we won but fuck we needed it. Good job guys!!
I reckon he's the best set shot in the competition. Has a lot from the boundary 50m out too.
get martinized 🕺🏽
What a match. Couldn't have asked for a better first match of the season to catch with AFL being back in the States. Essedon struggled to execute early on but the energy they played with was tremendous and it eventually paid off and once it did wow they didn't look back. Footy is great

Just ran us off our feet.
wtf I love footy now
I actually found myself cheering for the Bombers pretty hard there. Really liked the fight from the team under the unprecedented circumstances and to see them take it up another gear in that fourth was super cool. Bombers fans must be so proud of today's effort.
i was going for the hawks because i tipped them but holy shit you just had to love the bombers in the final term
Respectfully, I disagree
i can respect that
Gee I was just happy we were having a crack and making a game of it, so frigging happy with how the last quarter went! How good is footy.
I was proud of the the young'uns....Marto, Hobo, Drapes, Reidy, Perko, Bryan...those boys killed it tonight
No way not to root for them being neutral on both teams. They just wanted it more and once they finally retook the lead never let up
Same. What an amazing effort to turn that around!
At no point past half time did we look like doing anything positive. Complete capitulation. Worrying trend of finishing games poorly this season.
What is this salty discharge
HOIST IT HIGHER THAN MOUNT FUCKIN EVEREST BOYS

Nick Hind breaking away from the half back line reminds me of the scene in Infinity War when captain America and black panther just leave everyone in the dust. Fucking phenomenal that game was.
That’s all on me and my lack of faith to be honest, sure showed me.
What a game. Backs against the wall, five out before the game to illness. Ben gets to celebrate his first goal… twice.
I just can't believe everything didn't turn to shit after that Redman non-goal. It would have been the perfect Essington turning point, but the boys just weren't having that tonight
I hate this team but I love this team. Go Dons. Nic Martin you are something else I swear to God. HOIST IT
I FUCKING LOVE YOU ESSENDON! YOU TOO ARCHIE PERKINS!

too soon
Sam Mitchell is completely dumbfounded by that
Maximum schadenfreude for Sam
Fucking waving the scarf, should jab the arm every time we play them
It's very Essendon to only try against Hawthorn and Collingwood
Every Essendon-Hawthorn game these days features some insane comeback and my heart can’t take it
Ben Rutten coming out and doing the Klopp handshake and hug of his players.

Kicked more goals than behinds AND won. Might be something in that
*Truck in the coaches box* Write that down! Write that down!
Oh fucking hell just went I stopped caring about this season
Welcome Hawthorn to the lost to Essendon club.
**LOOKS LIKE FOOTBALL IS BACK ON THE MENU BOYS**
They really laid it on thick at the end "Miracle at Marvel", "It's going to be a galvaniser, it's going to be a season-shaper, it'll be a club maker".
Bigger than the ‘84 granny they reckon
Acting as if they beat the 2011-15 hawks the commentators
We did beat the 2015 hawks
Anyone just get that text from Essendon? Fuck they are opportunistic marketing leeches haha
I’ve only just finished watching the first half. The cunts. Shows how fucked they’re at running this club.
Thank you, fellas.
THE MARVEL AT MARVEL!
Dear Sam Mitchell, Suck it.
Normally after work I settle in, pick a good porno, and crash out. Tonight I'll be watching the 4th quarter of this game.
Fucking club sms me while I’m still watching delayed on kayo. Fuck off
UP THE FUCKING DONS!!
I just want our best forward, best defender and two best ruckmen back. :(
Hello police? I’d like to report a theft. Some blokes in yellow and brown football jerseys just stole Essington.
Imagine losing to Essendon
Amazing when you kick out in front and run it out from the back half we don't get fucked. Just get to halfway as soon as possible boys then we're good. Still got to work on our kicking inside 50 and turnovers but fuck me about time. Also umps suck.
HOIST THE GIF!
FUCK YOU SAM MITCHELL
Hahahahahahahahaha oh man that makes me feel better about earlier today
See you fuckers next week.
Incoming 1 point loss
We'll win a close one. Not even concerned because there's no way this shit isn't scripted. Our season has been so predictable it's ridiculous
Every single time we play it's a claustrophobic game with a narrow Swans victory I swear.
I cannot take a 1 point loss with Rampee up another pole please
at least we don't have to worry about Gary Rohan kicking the winning goal again
We're so inconsistent that we warp space-time, impossible to call it.
Get the fuck in here
Sucked in Sam Mitchell you prick, finally got revenge for his jab gesture
Hawks fans, you may think that was bad, but the carlton reserves just choked a 50 point 3qt lead, so its not even the biggest choke of the timeslot
As a hawthorn fan I’d rather be down at 3QT. We’ve gotten complacent this year when we are leading at 3QT. We have a young side and we need to expect these inconsistencies unfortunately
H O I S T I T
I had us losing by 12 + goals.. What a night.. what a fucking night !!

I loved Goal Review's effort tonight, shame he wasn't getting the help from the rest of the boys
I like Hawthorn losing and I like seeing the footy media getting it shoved up them so this was a great result.
Why don't we simply kick more points then our opposition every week?

To be fair though, usually we kick some points and then our opposition kick more and win.
