Did we take a single mark inside 50 on the lead?

Why is $400 a head function one of our most important nights?

I think the problem is that the cupboard is bare. We’re not very good & our game ‘plan’ is not very good.

Don’t waste your time at the press conference Truck. Just replay the one from the last game. It’s going to have the same dribble too it.

Carlton dead set stopped midway through the third and we were too incompetent to make a comeback. 4 consec behinds in the 3rd, wrights bad miss then dropped mark in the square in the 4th. We could have made a game of it if we were halfway competent

The latter

Imo the 2016 top list was about the same standard as the 2022 list.
Essendon are light years away from being a contending side.

It’s obvious this isn’t turning around anytime soon.
Whatever farked us up in the pre-season cut pretty deep and unwinding it is proving tough.

The last quarter was blue collar though. It’s not a great look, but we made the Blues work for their possessions. After the Vossy rev up at three quarter time, they didn’t respond and a big reason for it was our pressure.

Still such a poor standard of skills though.
Still such a slow lazy moving team.

There’s not much that can be done. Get through the season, let the players go on a holiday and warn them that they have to be ready from day one to knock this ■■■■ out of these players. Lots of running, lots of skills practise and hit the weight rooms.

Game was over in the 2nd after de Konig got away with clear two handed shove of Phillips then Cripps gets a point blank free for falling over as he’s a pissweak cheat a minute later

Frees 17 to 6 at ht

Umps gave them the lead and the game in that qtr

We had no parish and MCG and were competitive for parts of the game

The zone though, it is so unbelievably bad, the worst thing the AFL has seen in 150 years, Rutten maybe the worst coach and strategist game will ever see

The club want to build up this 150th anniversary. Ask them.

Worst thing is having to hear this song more than necessary. Calls for Carlton to change theme song due to racist history - AFL News - Zero Hanger

Best thing is being able to rub FC people on group threads with their FARKED song
