For you kidz, this game has a special feature where you can listen to tolerable commentary… as long as you don’t read Blitz.

It’s a real shame that little Timmy Watson finished his career as a West Coast player… a few comments from him here is the closest he will ever again get to Essendon on the last Saturday in September :frowning:

I really hope we win… I have a uni mate who barracks for Melbourne and I was SHOCKING when I met him on the train home after our ANZAC Day win earlier in the year. I’ll cop it bad if we lose today!

This Hird kid…we’ve picked at half forward. I dunno man, I just don’t see it with him. Waste of a draft pick if you ask me. Should have gone for Jamie Shanahan from Tassie - Saints got him at 90 I think. We need a full back. I know Kenny Fletcher’s young bloke (Dustin?) is coming through - but I think he’s more a ruck/CHF type than a full back.

Pagan’s done a great job with this team. You can see how committed he is to the club. I reckon be a part of this club for many years to come.

Club legends last game. We better not bring out Essington

You can see a premiership winning coach there. Hopefully he doesn’t decide to coach a club like FarkCarlton.

Big fan of Mercuri. Good Italian stock, should have an injury free career.

Interesting fact. Last reserves flag 1983 - Last seniors Flag 1984.

We win this game load up in 1993.

No chance. We’re a good few years off yet. These kids… they’re just babies.

Unfortunately i think Fark Carlton are primed up in 1993. Still have a strong core of premiership players from 87 and a good group of kids.

Yeah agreed - as long as we don’t lose to them in a preliminary final by a point though. I don’t think I could handle that.

edit: What do you reckon about Todd Ridley? Reckon he could be a superstar for us.
