Conveniently forget about last year when we kicked 6-16 against them, in this round coincidentally, before our enormous run into finals.
Also! Only 3 posters complained about the umpiring! (25-10) their favour of course. Go figure?

Small forwards kicking goals, who would have thought. Cincotta v McGrath, McGrath got 21 disposals and Cincotta kicked two goals. Clear Cincotta win. E.Hollands is a ripper. Loved the booing of Saad. Told me he had a very good game. I expect Essendon to drop off in second half of year but I expect Carlton to improve. Third solid win in three weeks. TDK killed them.

We were robbed in the free department.

Starting to get a special feeling about this season. Sydney might be the #1 seed, but the Grand Final is still played at the G. Liking what our boys are putting together, still with Cerra, Martin and Cottrell to return.

Played all top 10 teams with troops coming back.
Cottrell, Cerra, Cunningham and Martin will be up for selection.
Jesse Motlop had a good game one more game in VFL for the young lad.

Showed up all our issues I reckon, primarily pace (a lack of it) and ineffective relief ruck.
DeKonig great after the tap but Goldstein was problematic because his efforts made it very hard for Cripps and Walsh to get into the game. So TdK's efforts at following upand winning clearances were excellent but badly needed.
Cerra will certainly add a bit of burst to the midfield mix, which is a bit same same. Burst from stoppages from a winning ruck is a game breaker ATM.
Hollands' ball use into F50 makes us look a lot better, but others have improved in this area as well. A lot of left-sided disposal by our blokes this year, clearly worked on it.
Matt Kennedy is struggling for a role and not kicking well. Essentially being used as a utility. Looks lost.
Williams has turned his season around, really well done. It's only a small change, but somebody actually getting scores from ground balls makes us so much better/effective.
Weitering remains the key in defence, other taller options (Kemp and McG) are mobile and compete well but if the ball comes in high...we look really short at times.
Defensive unit got the job done as a unit but Boyd still plays off his man too much for mind and gets caught out of position. Needs to send Ollie Hollands a hamper because he's covered for him all year. Like how Cowans is developing, tough, useful size and raking kick. Saad still has enough toe to get separation, but Newman is getting caught and dump kicking a lot as a result. Small zippy midsized forwards like Papley, Moore et al. are going to give us problems when it matters.

If we had got our fair share of free kicks we might be having a conversation about a shellacking ?

The HTB rule.... I've got no idea what's going on, neither do the players. But she's all good maaaaate according to the sycophants in the media.
