The five closest players to Gleeson are all Baggers.
Certainly not a whole lot of options here, but the worst thing you can do is bomb it right towards the loose man (on the Telstra logo), which seems like the outcome our players choose most of the time.
I suppose the best thing to do here is to go right on the boundary between the two one-on-ones and hope for a contest or a throw in.
Nobody’s giving him options.
I see lots of 1v1 but some how there is two Carlton players still free?
EFA
More than two. There are the two obvious ones, right in the centre of the area Gleeson is going to kick to; then over to the left, CHF side of the centre square, you have Carlton - Essendon - Carlton, widely spaced; and to Gleeson’s left you have another solitary Carlton player, expecting the rebound. That makes four Carlton players without opponents in the Essendon attacking half, and not a single Essendon player free. This is with 7 minutes left in the final quarter and the scores tied. God help us ! - no one else will.
The problem is, it’s those type of losses that is the difference between finishing 4th or 7-8th. We need to win them but we don’t.
Rinse and repeat that scenario for the last 10+ years mate.
Yep… that gets us elimination finals in Sydney or Perth.
Sorry by fit I meant not injured
My point was that for one reason or the other he should be left out of the team
Was it touched before the Falcon?
Nope.
Which makes Hooker non effort on fighting to stop Jones from contesting all the worse
You are ■■■■■■■■ me
Anyone else get a bit of 99 Prelim PTSD after that game?
(One point, chance to win it right at the end, etc)
I get a bit of it every time we play that stupid mob.
Yes, but we didn’t deserve the win. Carlton should’ve iced it, but lacked the polish to do so.
…just like ‘99
We had a great season, but nothing worked that day.
The Mercuri spray still gives me nightmares.
Funny after the game it was put on that the last time Carlton beat Essendon by a point was the 99 prelim
Oh the irony.
What was Hooker doing?!
Nah mate, it is outstanding trolling. That collage could ostensibly have been prepared by either a 7 year old, a 67 year old, or someone in between masquerading as a 7 or 67 year old. Or it could have been done completely seriously by an idiot. Or maybe someone wanting us to think they are an idiot and is getting a kick out of someone identifying them as an idiot because that’s exactly the look they were going for with their collage. Or maybe an idiot who thinks that this is what smart people do in order to appear to be an idiot.
I have spent half an hour considering all this. Quite frankly it is brilliant trolling, the likes of which you almost never see any more.
