I'll happily live in 2021. Flags are hard to come by.

Dude you lost to Adelaide who ar 15th. Don't act as if Blues aren't capable of losing to the bottom teams.
I’m really really glad for you to have seen 1 premiership in your lifetime…

Of course we can lose to low placed teams, but to lose to the Eagles by 35 points is just plain ridiculous.

But why would a Carlton fan ridicule a team for being mediocre when you've been the very definition of mediocrity for a decade? And are still yet to achieve anything? It's pushing 30 years since the last Carlton flag.

Bahaha. You’re still living in the past. Come on bro, you’re better than that 😂

Again, I’m super happy for you to have seen the 1 solitary flag in your lifetime
 
Easy to look at the stats and go "Essendon should have won with those inside 50s" or whatever Scott said but the reality is nearly all of them were either bombing it in or shots from the boundary. There was a bit of bad kicking for goal but that doesn't explain it all.
 
Maybe, but the game played out like all our games this year. Domination of field territory, not taking chances, not conceding much from center bounces. We haven't been lit up by any stars this year really.
Essendon are getting the best they can out of a bog-ordinary list.

Their inability to finish, bombing the ball into F50 is just terrible football.

Dominating territory is only as good as your ability to maximise scoring from it.

Essendon suck at it.

Even performance from the Blues with the load spread in notching 15 goals.

Key forwards : 3 goals
Curnow 2
McKay 1

Small forwards : 5 goals
Williams 2
Owies 1
Fogarty 1
Durdin 1

Medium forwards/Mids : 6 goals
Hollands 3
Cincotta 2
Hewett 1

Cerra Martin Motlop all set to be available for Geelong after the bye with Pittonet ready to assist TDK if and when needed …

Yeah I certainly didn't watch that game and think Essendon were the better side and should've won. A lot of that inside 50 dominance came in the latter part of the 2nd qtr. And they were pretty much long bombs to Carlton who had pushed heavy numbers back.

While it can be a dangerous game teams are happy to do this as it is easy to defend and burns clock. You can't go full out attack for 30 minutes.

Wowee!

We stacked…now to find the right balance.

F50 efficiency is awesome - now to correct our clearance & entry’s.

If we get that right - we’ll give this premiership a crack.
 
lol, as a Carlton fan you have this swagger because why? Because you've made a prelim and squandered a lead? You've achieved nothing and been a basket case for a decade. When was your last flag? You're carrying on like you've achieved something. Making a prelim and squandering a lead isn't achieving anything.
you are regurgitating the same point mate:p time to give the keyboard a rest.
 
Don’t see how Tsatas makes it. Can’t kick


Cox already playing reasonable footy and Reid rated highly but who knows if he ever gets fit.
Yeah his kicking technique is alarming. That kick on the run barely hit his boot under no pressure. Was that a thing pre draft? In modern footy you simply can't carry bad kicks
 
Yeah because you generated really poor opportunities

Ton of those behinds were rushed too

Only 5 rushed behinds.
And yes those poor inside 50 kicks contributed to those rushed behinds too.
As I said kicked ourselves out of it.

We had the slight win in general play. We limited Cripps, Walsh, Curnow and McKays influence.

We just blew it inside 50...again.
