A very windy day at Eureka Stadium. THe wind blew across the ground all game causing 90% of the game to be played on the far side of the ground away from the grandstand. Again, the wind made accurate play difficult but Essendon showed their professionalism. The Roosters did their best under the conditions and can hold their heads high for their efforts.
