Essendon are a good team they played well they got their game going in the third quarter.
But for the majority of the game we shut their game down.
But I get what your saying they kicked a lot of points from deep entry’s

Beautiful kick, straight through the middle…at jam tin height.All those here bagging Fogarty’s kicking length…
Kicked one from 50 (that’s a big jam tin)
Did bounce for 20m of the trip, but still 50m…
Elijah epitomizes the saying that I try to teach my son who plays back pocket slow is smooth smooth is fast
Look at it this way:
Despite mostly keeping our superstar top-5 players quiet (which won't happen often) and us playing a fairly horrendous third quarter all-round, we still controlled large parts of the game and walked away with a 26 point win against the #2 ladder team.
A lot of their behinds were because we forced them wide and applied good pressure, so they had lots of rushed or low % shots. We kicked more accurately because our structure and ball-use gave us better looks. And better kicking for goal is just better football.
If we could fix the third quarter disaster (where we really lost composure and gave * the game on their terms) to make it look more like the other three quarters, we would win by 10 goals.
The Carlton votes thread is mostly comprised of lesser-lights (and TDK, who could well be our new superstar.)
"Shut down Cripps, Walsh and the 2 monster forwards and you beat Carlton" is no longer a thing.
Edit: Also, we were both younger and less experienced than our * opponents.
We need to figure out how to beat Sydney because they are easily the best team this year. At our best, the rest don't really bother me that much.

Kemp is too slow with ball in hand to be a mid. Not sure how good his tank is at the moment but it’s not something he’s known for.
Right now he is (slowly) developing his ability to lock down an opponent at FB. In a few years time he looks a natural McGovern replacement as a more attacking CHB and his role should be replaced by a stopper. His attack on the ball in the air will be a weapon in time he just needs to know when to go and when to play safe.
I expect Elijah to move into the mids as Cripps and George begin to slow down. Right now he looks a gun linking HFF and that is our weakest area atm but he is also taking some centre bounces so the club clearly rates him in there. He started in the middle at the beginning of the third and fourth which were some pretty important clearances to win.

This is an underrated win. Sure Essendon missed some early shots but we were 32 points up at half time. Ok they had a lot of play in the third quarter but a lot of their inside 50 entries were very average. We flicked the switch at the start of the last. Our structures were great all night. Our forward line was very open and the forwards worked together which contributed to our efficiency up forward. Our role players were again great. Cripps and Walsh didnt do much. We are building towards the second half of the season to have a real crack at this.

I am out of the country, but this whole win sounds most satisfying!!!
If we can beat Geelong, I think top four is as good as ours.
Go Blues!

Compress the back half open the front half -- seems to be what we have been working on probably why our inside 50 numbers dropped off other than port but we rebound past half fwd we score heavy .. or we score from centre clearance. Be interesting against geelong as they are best at this if we half the inside 50s think we win .

Kemp had a bit of a stinker. Got outmarked a couple of times, dropped a few simple ones. He wasn't Plowman bad or anything but I don't think the greasy conditions suited him.
