Essendon Vs Carlton - Have at it here

[the mighty T]

10 goals in a row to the Blues, nobody goes downhill like the Blues. Essendon will want to show some spine.

How will it go down if Hird loses by more in an elimination final than Knights?

It'll be fine coz it's hird and he's a better coach than knights evidently.

How wasn't that 50 when the blues played on after the bombers free

Half time

Carlton 10.12.72
Ess 4.7.31

6 goals to one that qtr for carlton

 

[Underrated]

It is but Essendon posters were lining up to sink the boot into Shuey, so it's only fair that they return serve.

Reid played well last night. So to settle the debate Reid > Shuey/Heppell

Reid is a GUN! Not so sure about his kicking for goal Will be a very god player for u guys for a long time.

The umps tried to get the Dons back into it.

If you think the Dons have had the best of the umpiring you are actually insane.

 

[happy_eagle]

Also may i say, look out west coast. Were comming for you!

Lol...

Jetta is useless, wheres zaharakis gone? Missing his spark

 

[alex 17]

The Essendon hack gamestyle plan has come undone today. Not enough big targets up there in the forward line.

 

[Forward Press]

To use a very, very old phrase:

Two wrongs do not make a right.

This is not a court of law - on an internet discussion forum if you sink the boots into a particular section, don't act all high and mighty when that particular section takes the opportunity to sink the boot into you.

 

[rose jam]

It's over.

Not as long as Yarran is on the park

 

[UrLordUnbeliever]

Umps looking after the Blues too. This could get real ugly.

Good it's not just me who thinks that then...

I don't mind us being beaten by a better team, but some of those umpiring decisions out there are gosh darn ludicrous

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Monfries goal just before half time is timely. Bombers will try and turn the tide at the start of the third but I expect it to be short lived. I'm still hoping this game gets interesting, but it would take a five goal burst from the dons against the tide - just a tad unlikely.

 

[laminex]

It's over.

No, no its not. The Dons can scores faster than any other team in the comp.

The are great at comebacks.

 

[Underrated]

christensen the best youngster this finals series. by a mile, too.

Early days mate, u must have missed Reid's preformance last night?

 

[AstuteTiger]

Looked like a squib.

One of the points i mentioned on PRE in that essendon have a very good player in Heppell but doesnt like the hard stuff not sure if he's a squibb but must say he avoids the hard stuff in the contests...

 

[Quantum]

10 Goals in a row for Carlton. When that happens in a game, it's over.

 

[Zahki]

Did Hird forget to tell his players it's finals time? They know if they lose this they're out right? Why are they playing like they want to preserve themselves?

 

[caitsith01]

Actually I think the "can score quickly" rankings would be Geelong then the Pies, then daylight.

How was that not droping the ball (murphy) How was gibbs not paid a mark or a free?

I thought the Ump were to be the best in the finals. This game is a bad as any free paid for nothing both ways and paid for nothing both ways make me sick.

Its called an an 'A' grade midfield giving them limited ops. Great to see the Blues lifting when they should!!

The true gap between us and the Bombers is huge and this game is reflecting it thank god.

Watch Judd explode second half!!

what ever dude

 

[lamaros]

Hopefully the other 19 players can turn up for the second half, only Ryder, Stanton and Hocking are out there at the moment.

Are we allowed to talk about under-performing Essendon players in this thread or will it be locked?

I did not attack Shuey for his performance yesterday.

It would've been nice if my fellow Essendon supporters had done the same thing, which would've prevented West Coast supporters from going "hurr hurr look at Heppell".

 

[Righteo]

Dang Essendon needed to scrap a goal there in the last 30 seconds to give themselves any chance, Blues just too strong.

Lol, so true.
