NAB Challenge: Carlton vs. Essendon Sunday 28th Feb

[crashlander]

I was pretty pissed off at stages during todays game, but then I realised this...
It was by far the most inexperienced team Carlton has ever fielded. We had 6 players who havent played a senior game yet (7 if you don't count Byrnes 1 qtr against the Scum last year), Prob add another 5-6 with no more than 10 games exp as well. Appart from a shocking 2nd qtr, we held up alright considering..
Add Gibbs, Kreuzer, Kerridge Murphy, Cripps, Walker White Thomas Wright and it d be a totally different story.
But all you ll hear from the Scum loving media is good news stories about how great the Bombers were, barely mentioning we were fielding virtually a Nthrn Blues side against them.

Channel 7 has much to answer for. Their view of things has rarely been ours, even when we had a number of guys there. Now it is basically an Essendon fan club.
Be that as it may, I saw a lot today. And, apart from the obvious (Jacob Weitering), none of it was mentioned in the media.

Another certainty in life is that your typical Essendon supporter has learnt NOTHING from their sins, and is still blindly protective. Can't they recognize the difference between right and wrong? I am amazed at how blinkered they are.
When we Salary Cap violations came out, we removed what was necessary. We did it quickly and thoroughly. Yet we remain divided.
Essendon commit probably the greatest crime in world sport, something that may affect their players health life that f the East German athletes  the 1970's and they care nothing. They bury their heads in the sand.

I do not understand them. I do wonder if they are of the same species.
