11.18 is just unacceptable given many were absolute sitters. Sav has some work to do. Lots of goal kicking practice this week.

Carlton forwards getting sucked up the ground far too often was either good coaching by Hird or dumb football by our forwards. I assumed Ellard was our key forward for large parts of the 2nd quarter in particular. WTF!?
Ciaran Byrne is a deadset ripper, welcome to a long career son, what a wonderful free spirit he has & is a wonderful kick of the ball. Well done Dennis Armfield for step 1 of saving your career - apart from your first kick of the game which was on-the-full & ending up costing us a goal.....your speed, tenacity & desire at the man and the contest is something that has been sorely missing from this team.
Ed Curnow had an absolute shocker - 3 goals kicked on him, with a lot of flaws exposed. He can't afford to be having shockers like that.
I wouldn't be patting Sam Rowe on the back too much after that performance - how many largely uncontested marks did his direct opponents take? Not good enough Sam.
Judd's last quarter was sublime, but for the team to suddenly find another gear as Essendon tired badly isn't a way to win games of footy. Happy to see Cripps step-up today, although his opponent for most of the day: Watson, taught him a football lesson.

If that's the case, if Boekhorst can do something too, pick 7 will be a winner.

Oh - and btw, that horrific interfence/shepherding rule in marking contests will ruin this game. Those 2 decisions that went Essendon's way were absolute howlers.
Re: Round 3 Carlton v Essendon-Post match thread - mina1 - 04-18-2015
had to like ess game plan watched it live ,players getting back , pressure on opp,30 m short passes there plan was to smart for us .give there quick players space at 1 stage it was like watching a soccer game ,counted 4 ess def across hbf just waiting so predictable,1 last thing that last quarter effort seen all before (bullshit).

More contested possessions
More clearances
More shots on goal
and perhaps most importantly
More intensity!
Can't be too pissed off with the results today, even if those stats show that we should've won.
6.11 in the 2nd half cost us 4 points.
Nobody in particular to blame, everyone missed goals they should've kicked.
Come on Sav, do your thing.

Best game so far this year.
Does anyone else here know how to "play the percentages" on a football field?
From what I could see, it would seem our players have never heard of the term.
Turnovers are an issue, so is inaccuracy in front of goal, we have plenty of things to work on. But what frustrates me the most is the lack of defensive pressure when we don't have the ball. That 2nd qtr was just embarrassing.
I liked Armfields game, Ellard gives us nothing. 'Casey' had a good 1st game.

Seen nothing but absolutely rapt to hear Yarran smacked Chapman!
Re: Round 3 Carlton v Essendon-Post match thread - ItsOurTime - 04-18-2015
Man, today showed how much our game plan hurts us. We absolutely obliterated them in getting the ball out but once out it space we still have absolutely zero idea about how to create space or what to do with it.
Add to that the long bomb to 3 guys on one, usually to someone like Ellard and it's just frustrating because the coaches are not helping the players out. Good way to tank, I hope this is the case.
Jones showed a bit, Murphy coming good.
Gibbs has probably cost himself a week and God knows what Yarran will get. So next week is looking ugly.
We apparently had 4 or 5 0-3 starts to the year in our history prior to 2013, Pago owning one of them. Mick has managed to do a three-peat.

Big game for Mick next week.
