Bellchambers gone in 3rd qtr as Giants out to a 19 pt lead in last only to rollover for a tummy tickle. McKernan was great but Hooker to the forward line did enough.
A good win.

The Vic maggots and Stevie Wonder at the video goal review desk made sure of an Essendon win!

The goal review system is NOT good enough except for the AFL.
It costs them bugger all & that's what we get.
If every person who said they touched the ball was executed for a false call then we wouldn't get enough players to play a 10 a side comp.
Both WA sides have coaches who played in Victoria.
Get over it

Thought more a case of GWS playing "Hollywood" footy, & being sloppy & lazy that caused the result

I thought Essendon were clearly gifted the game with the free kick count and “that” goal. Still, that’s footy. The umpiring system still can’t get the review system right, so just get rid of it. Let’s go back to the umpires call. They may get some calls wrong, but you always know that what goes round, comes round. Anyway, congrats to Woosha, hope that gets the Lloyd backstabbing crew off his back.

This whole thing about a player claiming that he touched is a bit like a asking a batsmen in cricket whether or not he hit it when he is given out on review.

Essendon is coached by a West Australian

And getting smaller with the Lions upsetting them.. TOO inconsistent..Great game by Neale..
