    In fairness, it was a good win.

    That it was.  A good game, well umpired.  Missed a free kick at the end

    You know that endless commentary that begins "we now know how to beat (insert team name here).

    Against the Dees, it is short kicking through our zone, but make sure you hit yoour targets.

    Cue the mind-numbing ad nauseum repetition of to beat Carlton, beat them at clearance."

    Both teams played well, Collingwood's pressure won it for them. Blues almost stole it when they won the clearances again in the last 10 minutes or so.

    Carlton have a similar injury list to ours. And Weitering goes down was analagous to May going down.

    They put up way more than a fight than us, considering both teams lost their key defenders.

    If you insist on using those sort of words Winners, you'll be banned from 'Land.

    I wonder what may have contributed to us not putting up a fight so to speak, when we've fought pretty consistently for 18 months...

    I watched Gawn on his haunches in the first 5 minutes of the match.... I know in elite sport you can't use excuses publicly, and there are reasons why things occur.

    If a 'bug' was the case (Flu? It's [censored] everywhere in Vicco) and Goodwin mentioned it in the presser, he'd just be sounding a bit like the Geelong bloke...

    "Freo were outstanding, and we lost May, and Petty was crocked, and our backline was depleted, and we couldn't run because we had 1/3 of the playing side take the ground with the flu"... that'd be interesting to the narrative.

    Is there anyway the League can introduce nil all draws? That'd be a rule change worth supporting.

    Over 80,000 at the G. You have to hand it to the 2 clubs. They know how to bring a crowd

    Especially when one of them is 10th on the ladder.

    Exactly, despite being the reigning premiers if Goodwin said this he’d be ripped to shreds by the media however when Chris Scott says it no one bats an eyelid.

    Having gigantic supporter bases and being on the “up” helps.

    Would that be it? I think he was frustrated at 1/4 time.

    Gee it's a good thing port had that good 1st half. 

    What a shocking final quarter with no side kicking a goal. 

    But the main thing is Essendon lose again 😁

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
