Without taking anything away from that win GTC, I don't think you'd find another team of such pussycats as were the Bummers yesterday. They had little fight in them. Sure we can still try and bully teams but don't expect them to roll over that easy.
Reality always wins in the end.

[quote author=Gointocarlton link=topic=3980.msg233932#msg233932 Lamb harassed the flog Goddard for 4 qtrs and I mean Ballantyne style.

I think you’ll find Lamb was only on him for the 1st quarter. Sookard had a reasonable 2nd quarter but then did nothing after that. He’s cooked and I think we realized that after 1/4 time.

Everyone in the media went gaga over Essendons 3 new recruits. The problem was always going to be contested ball in the midfield after they lost Jobe and none of the recruits really fitted that role. Smith is ok but never going to be elite and he's too similar.
Stringer looks an expensive mistake. Saad ok but only a small HBF.
I look forward to seeing Lang playing a bit more. Looks like a real steal already though for pick 58.

Doesn’t pay to make the media experts look silly... they are going to cop an absolute “House Bolton” style flaying on every footy show over the next week.

I saw a bit of Freo/St Kilda last night and they are both very ordinary football teams, at the very least we should be able to knock both of them off.
Silvagni, Weitering and Polson all playing well in the Magoos so we should start to see some more competitive sides as the year goes on.
I'd be happy enough with 5 or 6 wins this year given our run with injury.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

Getting Marchbank back means we don't have to play O'Shea which would be a massive improvement.
Murphy in for Graham is another obvious improvement. Although Cripps won't be captain any more which will hurt.
Hopefully Silvagni gets back in a spot which gets him around the ball a bit more.
