They are a rabble! Heppell does all this chest beating and jumper points before the game in front of their 'legends' and he gives nothing!! 'The Package' is a sad joke and their system is non existent. I agree with others.... wet night and we were dragged down to their standard!

I thought LoB played well. Loved his i50, shepherds, and one tough tackle in particular. I think he's finding his niche and feeling the trust of the coaches ?

F em with a capital F. Hate them with a passion. I'm OS at the moment in the glorious heat of Greece (were are you Karroto?) and watched the match from a bar with 5 euro half pints and 5 euro gaspers.
Have to say I thought it may the 1st 4 quarter game we have played all year. Challenged, responded. I hope the scum shrivel up and die from here. Time for a nap.

Got the points but thought apart from a few bursts we pretty average footy but we got the job done which ties in with what good football teams do. They beat the lower teams even when they are not playing their best and in years gone by this is exactly the sort of game we drop. With a full team reckon we are a 10 goal better team then them.
That aside Doc is an out and out star. His story borders on unbelievable and nothing except a flag would make me happier then if this guy gets AA again this year. what an inspiration he is. The bloke never stops, runs flat out for the full 120 minutes and when you consider what this poor bloke has endured it’s simply amazing.
Certain things are bigger then footy and to think he is considered as being in the best 22 players of the comp when many wondered if he would even play again is just outrageous. Don’t forget he also had a double acl injuries.
Love that this bloke is ours and reckon I’m not the only one.

It was a very poor standard game, but a win is a win is a win, especially against the Drug Cheats.
[1] We were thrashed in the ruck and at the centre clearances, which was why we didn't win by more. Even so, our mids had strong games. Where were Essendon's? Making excuses. Merrett got a bit of the ball, but he was lazy and provided zero. Only Shiel had a match worth remembering. And this with the best service a team has got this year from a ruck pairing.
[2] Our defence looked very shaky. Durdin will have to come in next week. But we got the job done, especially on the ground in the back half.
[3] Our small forwards disappeared again after a promising start. We need to work on that.
[4] Congrats to Newman, Saad and Docherty on their great games. Really did the job.
[5] Umpiring: why do I bother looking for consistency? For that matter, downfield kicks to us seem to have disappeared. Doc was taken out early by Stringer and no free was paid. It was well after he kicked the ball.

4 points is 4 points.
Could have been a 10 goal win.
Jake stringer got away with a lot of late hits and the umpires need to get serious about stamping out plain thuggery.
Can't believe they've given dissent frees all year and let hits after the ball is kicked without a down field free kick.
Re: AFL Rd 13 2022 Post Game Postulations Carlton vs Essendon - Professer E - 06-10-2022
Aaaah, the good old late hit after its been disposed of down field (a package special), the lingering tackle, the lie over the bloke on the ground, the "awkward" 'oh sorry mate, didn't mean that' high late spoil (perfected by Fletcher)....great ongoing contributions to the game. Yet no other club squeals about umpires worse than that mob, they are truly delusional.

Doc, Saad and Young were excellent I thought. Marchy was solid in his return. Plowman seemed to do abit of run and carry and attacked the bal quite a few times which I liked. He still struggles one on one but that probably just aint his gig. Overall I thought the defence held up ok.
Small forwards were very ordinary. Owies did a bit, Martin did about there nice things, Durdin was largely unsighted by his standards.
TDK battled manfully against two brutes, well done son, you did your utmost best given the circumstances. SOS gave a contest as usual but was on a hiding to nothing.
The midfield did the job but Vossy was clearly not happy with the engine room at 3/4 time. I thought at times they struggled to adapt to the wet and windy conditions.
Not our most polished performance but enough to get the 4 pts and rain on their parade...again. As others have said, a couple more wins and we will play finals. If we can get back the likes of Gov, Pitto and Weiters at the right time, who knows.
I rarely comment on the opposite but they are a rudderless rabble, their captain can stand in a huddle and tug at this jumper all he likes, his message ain't getting through. As for the stickers on his legs, grow up Dyson.

But it would be pretty unlikely that we won't be able to scrounge at least another 2 out of the other 8 games. Missing the finals would be a shock from here.
Early indicators are 11 won't be enough, might need 13.
