1. The commentators were barracking for Essendon. They wanted the victory against adversity to be real. Now the narrative is Carlton are on the rise. Turn off the sound on TV and just watch the vision.
2. Worsfold claim their list is similar to Carlton's in age demographic and games played is a case of using a statistic to deflect. To understand a list you need to look at who is not playing. We had Dow (Pick 3), O'Brien (Pick 10), Kennedy (Pick 13), McKay (Pick 10), De Konning (Pick 30), Stocker (Pick 13), Kemp (Pick 17), Marchbank (Pick 6), Fisher (Pick 27), Curnow (Pick 12) and Goddard (Pick 19). I am not sure Essendon, or anyone else, has that young talent depth. As Silvagni said, it is easy to get a list to the middle.
3. The 50 meter penalty will be ticked off by the AFL as it always does. Umpires are criminals and the AFL is the Mafia
4. We need to kick those goals. Could have won by three or four goals easily. Kept Essendon in it.
5. The next few weeks will be important. We will need to get ahead of the W-L count.
