AFL 2016 - Round 6: Carlton v Essendon @ MCG

[outabounds]

No way can thomas kick this

 

[Hollow Sorrow]

First to 50 wins.

 

[Mr Mister]

Even the Bombers Twitter can't polish this turd

It really is an embarrassment to the league. Two supposed powerhouse clubs strolling around with skills inferior to what you would see at VFL/SANFL level. Carlton in particular seem to be years off doing anything productive, they're a reasonably experienced team on paper FFS!

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Nice handball plowman. Derp.

 

[fishardansin]

There's a lot of LOL in Essendon's build up and Carlton's defending in that goal.

 

[NSWCROW]

Lachie Plowman must wake up everyday and thank god that Ross Lyon continues to pick Zac Dawson......

 

[Boxhead_31]

Right on the edge of Stokers distance here

 

[Crankyhawk]

Fluent play? Must be lost...

And he misses and all is right in this game again

 

[fishardansin]

Merrett hits a target and Simpson throws back his head. Fair enough too, because no one could predict a target being hit today.

Some are saying this has been the worst game of the year but if this was two top teams we'd all be applauding it saying how great it's been.

I think it's been a great competitive contest. Outstanding pressure from both sides.

 

[Tulip]

Kreuzer doesn't look like a guy who has been at Carlton for 9 years, he still looks as uncomfortable as a new draftee.

This game is the definition of a thriller. Never have there been a more even battle taken place on the football field until this afternoon. In years time, many will tell their children about this game and the heroes that were involved and those children will eventually share their knowledge upon this most courageous event to their children.

 

[Crankyhawk]

And 2 Essendon forwards take each other out..

Plenty were saying it about North/Dogs too though. This has trumped that game.

Yeah - as a kid who came to footy in 1993 and was subjected to all of the little Essendon fans at school ganging up on the one kid who didn't follow the Dons, I have to say this is EXCELLENT.

 

[Crankyhawk]

Can you just grab the ball from a tackled teammate?

"I was there when Leuenberger missed the ball with his foot when he went to kick, and it wasn't even the biggest clanger of the day"

Handball from Fantasia was garbage. Straight into Gwilt with three men on him.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Pickett 2.0 goes alright

 

[Nuggs Bunny]

And then the commentators said "It's good stuff!"

 

[HTPunter]

McDonald-Tipungwuti in his 6th game looks so much more composed than 90% of the guys out there.

Was listening in the car before, and BT, Schwatta and Duck were all just laughing at how bad the game is, skill wise.

Now that I'm watching it, I agree.

Pressure tends to lead to mistakes. If it's close and winnable for both teams in the final minutes then it's enjoyable for me.

Goddard, great captains play there
