[Mr Steve 3,820]

Tough when you want them both to lose.

Carrying on like they won the grand final

In fairness, it was a good win.

Pies nearly choked but Carlton were due a tight loss

[Jaded No More 68,974]

Thank god for that. Keeps us 2 games clear of them and Freo play Brisbane next week.

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.

I feel so filthy  because of the joy of Collingwood smashing the Brown Baggers 🙃

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.

Gee port have stopped. Keep going & do not drop this

[dl4e 5,851]

I hate the filth but it was good to see Carlton lose.

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.

Yep.

You don't get excuses from either unlike some club supporters..

[Queanbeyan Demon 6,892]

Good to see ninethmond is 9th again. Long may it be so.

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

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

[dees189227 12,435]

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 😁
