Sure the AFL media isn't biased.
How the feck can that turd Stringer belt so many blokes on camera in his usual gutless manner, from behind or as a blindside, and not earn a single mention of it from the commentary crew?
As for the general commentary, BT was spitting out tooth fragments as we moved into the lead, such was his level of disgust and disinterest in our winning play.

The beauty is, David, that they were doing plenty of booing of Saad... that's because he was repelling another of their lame forward forays. You would have thought the drongos would have realised after a while that they're doing so much booing because he's getting so much of the aggot!!. You're a bloody ripper, Saady! ...and a BlueBagger through and through.

I'm pinching myself. Waking up after a Friday night win over the drugcheats in itself is beautiful. Beating them after the jaw dropping oxymoron that saw drugcheats worshipped like royalty!
Now that's just magnificent!

A few efforts that had me grinning like a Cheshire cat.
Fisher & Doc's tackles on sh*&thead Stringer
Fisher's R foot goal, and ball on a string tricks
Doc's pinpoint disposal and tackle on Stringer
The steady rise of Lewis Young
The backline's ability to pivot and get it done
Saad's resilience against sh## fans
Corey Durdin running out with his biggest fan
Cotterell's improved kicking and composure
Owies hard hits
LoB showing some attitude
Charlie to Harry
Harry to Charlie
Marchy's miraculous return
Vossy's old fashioned spray
BT's forced pro Carlton commentary in the last 5 minutes. Sad man realised his barracking wasn't going to get them over the line. Then having to roam around the winning Carlton rooms. I give him credit though for remembering our boys names
Raining on the 150th

Changes in momentum in games can often be traced back to a single event or two.
I think we lost the plot a bit after starting the third quarter well...and then Durdin had a couple of shots that missed.
From that point we started to see little things creep in, some flashy plays that didn't quite come off, Harry going for a mark one-handed (not hugely important in the scheme of things, but not a full hearted effort), the intensity at the contest slacking off and Essendon being harder at the ball.
I've seen in other places (not so much on here) some suggestions that the Voss blast at three quarter time was not effective...even a bit over the top.
Folks point to the fact that we didn't score goals in the last quarter as a failed response.
That's not correct.
Once momentum is lost it's sometimes as hard to turn around as a cruise liner.
The first step is to arrest that momentum and break even at the contests.
That was achieved successfully throughout that last quarter and in the end that margin was comfortable.
Carlton sides over the last decade would rarely have been able to halt that momentum.
The three quarter 'pep talk' was effective.
I'm pretty sure there will be some reinforcement through the week...albeit a bit more measured.
;D

Voss is the coach ... fully entitled to blast the group as he sees fit

They suspect it was the moment Cripps swung onto his left foot and bombed it in long to a nothing contest instead of looking for a runner going passed to start a chain. I remember it and tend to agree, at the time I thought to myself another no look kick to no1inparticular,

Getting Marchbank back was great and Young keeps getting better.
Having Marchbank, Curnow and Cripps free from injury has been a great bonus for us this year and on top of the development of some of the players as well as getting in Cerra, and Hewitt it is no wonder we have improved.
Also impressed by the fact that we were able to set up most of our scoring from defense, rather than being so reliant on centre clearances.
TDK struggled against tag-team opponents who were athletic enough to match or better his leap - but he still kept giving.

This is the take home message from our game.
All year we have won games through the middle. Early on Pittonet was dominating and giving us first use.
He goes down and TDK 'breaks even' and our mids do the rest.
We were soundly beaten from the centre on Friday, and even without our #1 (Weitering), #2 (McDonald), #3 (McGovern) we were still able to not only hold our own down back, but win the game from there.
That shows a big evolution in our game from week 1.
There are quite a few 'rolling AA teams' on the go. Most of which have had Weitering in there. More and more of them are featuring Docherty in there as well. Considering many of us were trying to work out who we would draft with the long term injury spot he would open up on our list this year, it is a miraculous comeback to form. FWIW, i'd have Saad pretty close to AA selection too.
