We lost to Fark Carlton, gave up a big lead, defence like Swiss cheese. Negatives far outweigh any positives.

@Humbert_Humbert - My bad. Next time Iâll be a happy clapper. Cheer and applaud the lads for another fantastic participation effort.

I thought Curnow was on Merrett for the majority.
McGrath was going to Walsh, copped it hard and fast, then they freed him up late which was when he started finding a heap of it.
Sack Stanton. Did nothing today. And Dyson? Donât ask.

The only difference between Betts this week and last is he kicked 3.0 instead of 0.4. Thatâs got bugger all to do with us.
Ok. Pretty angry we lost especially to the scum.
But with time to calm, itâs not world ending.
Positives- Perkins was really good, Cox did nice things, Jones played his best game, Laverde was excellent, Walla good first half and kept trying, we got another high pressure game into the kids. Oh and Bryan did some seriously good things for a first game ruckam.
Seriously, felt blues got the good end of most umpiring. Blues think theyâre playing finals, we were ripped to maybe win 5 games and we couldâve, maybe shouldâve beaten them.

My biggest gripe is not trying to stop Walsh.

Losing to fark carlton is always a drag. But, Iâd still rather be a Bombers supporter right now. They should be beating teams like ours by ten goals, rather than struggling over the line against some (admittedly impressive) young kids.
Bryan, Perkins, Cox and Jones all played super well and thatâs bloody exciting! Love seeing old man Hooker kick a bag, too.
Also LAV. That is all.

I am pretty positive than our future is looking far better than theirs. All our first and second year players played really well and will be even better next year. Add in the kids we had missing Reid, Draper Caldwell, and hopefully Mossie then we are going to get better rapidly. .

Premiership teams have players with elite skills. McGrath and Heppell have terrible disposal and decision making.

Of course the loss sucks and hurts and I got pretty angry during it. But I still think we are on a better path than them. They wonât play finals this year.
They can keep kidding themselves. We are on the right track. I

In fairness to Essendon, Walsh is pretty hard to stop.

Didnât see too much effort in it.
Heppell is not in our best 22.
Next week, Francis in for Heppell would be an upgrade to our side. Tell me Iâm wrong.

We canât carry Langford, Snelling and Ham. None of them impact the game enough.

I reckon McGrathâs kicking isnât terrible in general. Itâs just that he always seems to rush. If he can just learn to be a bit more composed, Iâd think his efficiency would improve significantly.

absolutely stitched by the umpires from the moment we had momentum going in the 2nd, counted 4 questionable free kicks to them for goals, as well as 4 bullshit goals carlton only pulls out against us
again, ruckman can take it out of the ruck, be tackled, run 5 metres, get tackled again, run 2 metres, hand the ball off
and no free kicks
the amount of holding the balls or straight hand offs that the umpires yelled play on to was ridiculous, walsh was handing the ball to cripps out of packs at will
yet when a ball is slapped out in a tackle, free to them 50 out straight in front
That was a steaming pile of horse â â â â , from the moment Stringer went ballistic when the carlton player tried to kneecap him when stringer had right of way (leading at the ball)
from that moment on we got nothing, and pinged for everything.
That was a complete â â â â show, was never a fair game, razor ray is â â â â â â â clown shoes

If I had to pick one, I go snelling everyday of the week. He will at least provide pressure
