I wonder if the media will get stuck into Essendon for letting down the people of Shepparton by playing a second rate line up?
Probably not, after all it's not Carlton and Essendon's best line up is second rate

Last time I looked all I saw was that he had taken 5 marks.

You're right hendo did have much to do as the ball barely got back there. Saw him push up the ground once or twice but I didn't realise it was him at first as he was actually running and chasing.
Even with Thurlow and Lonergan going down the Geelong backline didn't look challenged. (Think Zac Smith sat out the last quarter with ice on the lower leg too).
To give the match some perspective, Essendon's players with the highest disposals were Cooney and Simpkin with 15 each - can't say I noticed them getting them either. The only bombers players that looked ok were Grimley who took some good marks and that new lad McDonald-Tipungwuti who plays a good brand of hard Byron Pickett style footy. Of the 3 goals the bombers kicked 2 came at the death - one courtesy of Jimmy Bartel getting pinged for deliberately rushing a behind.
