May was fantastic, Ben Ainsowrth with three goals showed his enormous potential, and Aaron Hall (31 touches) worked hard.īen Ainsworth read the drop of the ball to perfection! #AFLSunsDons /AnPuSNXtRRīegley was living a dream in the first quarter, playing an opening 20 minutes he'll do well to top at any stage in his career. 'We'd like to be a lot closer, if not won the game, but to be 10 points down at three-quarter time, that's exactly what we wanted to do, we wanted to be in an arm-wrestle and that's what we made it.' 'It's a pretty brutal gameplan we're asking of them. 'We did feel like we frustrated them for a period of time,' Solomon said.

Interim coach Dean Solomon said he had implemented a more defensive gameplan since taking over from Rodney Eade two matches ago. Gold Coast was far from disgraced though, and despite missing some of its best players through injury – namely Gary Ablett and Tom Lynch – put in one of their most consistent four-quarter efforts for many weeks. They won the inside 50s by a whopping 71-31, which came on the back of midfield dominance in disposals (418-346), clearances (36-29) and contested ball (147-121).įour bounces at extreme speed and a scintillating finish from Conor McKenna! #AFLSunsDons /VWz418o0nO While Daniher struggled, fellow forward James Stewart, Cale Hooker and debutant Josh Begley all kicked two goals, while Brendon Goddard, impressive Andrew McGrath and Mark Baguley were prolific ball winners with 25 disposals apiece.Įssendon had the ball camped in its forward half for most of the game, but took until early in the last quarter to assert any real dominance.

'It does hurt (percentage), but their accuracy was good for them, but with such a low score percentage-wise that covers off some of our misses. 'You play into their hands if you miss your easy shots and that was a bit of what we were doing early,' Worsfold said. West Coast (ninth) are almost two percentage points behind Essendon and would need a significantly larger victory over Adelaide at Domain Stadium next Sunday to bundle the Bombers out.Įssendon had to work hard to shake the pesky Suns, who often dropped extra numbers in their defensive 50, but eventually ground their way to victory.Ĭoach John Worsfold was pleased with the win, but conceded it was frustrating they couldn't score more freely. If they defeat Fremantle at Etihad Stadium next Sunday it would go a long way towards securing their spot in the finals. They have jumped West Coast to move into the top eight and their destiny is now largely in their own hands.

The Bombers dominated most areas of the match but couldn't fully capitalise on the scoreboard in their 12.18 (90) to 9.3 (57) victory. ESSENDON has moved back into the top eight with a win over Gold Coast but missed a golden chance to boost its percentage after a scratchy victory at Metricon Stadium.
