Plus they have KP. It is by far the biggest home ground advantage in the comp. 

Not forgetting they had the greatest luck getting Ablett , scarlett and hawkins  in father son rule  which is now changed

Depends on whether they’re telling the truth.

The word is hubris. Total, self-absorbed arrogance to rest so many starting 22 players believing the win was already in the bag. I LOATHE Carlton but glad they won tonight. 

 

It's a pity more Essendon supporters can't be there to witness this.

I can’t believe I’m punishing myself watching Cats vs Bombers.

Same. Hit him in the head. Not a good look.

Even if the first two were injured, which is definitely possible, why would you make 7 changes, four of which are unforced? Seems idiotic and it was.

That’s usually a fine, but given the fixture it looks more like a week to me.

Commentators talking like Geelong have the flag sewn up.

Particularly because the bombers have eagles and north coming up so any percentage loss now is good.

The sickening love for that side from the media makes me want to vomit. They have been bog ordinary this year. Let’s see how they go against Brisbane, Port and Pies.

port didnt give a rats about todays match, thats why they rested them  👌

Essendon might play finals by default.

They are going to get flogged in the first week - looking forward to it!

Very risky playing with form like that IMO. 

Essendon is Tom Hawkins 🐰

Curious, why do you say that? From my perspective, those 7 players all get a week to rest, recuperate, and get some time off, to avoid knocks (and then ON) in to the legs... They had to fit it in somewhere once Top 2 was 'sewn' up, at least hopefully from their perspective.

Another 5-7 will come back (and out) this week and freshen up some others without losing continuity.

We'll still beat them though :)

Bombers getting pantsed. What a shame. 

Think I said this a couple of weeks ago, but Cats are our biggest threat to 4th place. Only saving grace is that they play Collingwood, Brisbane at the Gabba and Port (but at GMHBA) in the last 6 weeks.

True, and we would need to drop possibly 3 games, can’t see that happening

Weid has looked completely disinterested.

If the Cats take our place in the 4, they can have it and we can all think about 2024 - because we would have been terrible in the last 6 weeks if that happens.

Great Scot!   And not so great Scott.
