WOW, I must say this is one of the best most balanced articles I've read on football in a while. Good stuff Rohan Connolly.

"solid contributions from... Andrew Carrazzo" :hitcomputer:
The article is way too soft on Carlton. That game was a win for Essendon* and a loss for Carlton.

Really?

In that case we've done pretty well to steal 2 points.

Good article and reading between the lines I think the author believes we were the better side.

Yep, 2 handy points for a loss. We should have won by at least 4 goals.

When I read that line, I thought you had actually written it, Don.

Tend to agree, we were quite inaccurate early.

It's very 'Translator-ish', isn't it?

It wasn't a loss.

However, we weren't good enough to win.

Isn't it as simple as that?

Yep, we did lose and they did win out of that game.

We lost 2 premiership points and they won 2 premiership points.

In the great tradition of professional journalists he probably can only recognise about 6 Carlton players. How could he possibly leave Duigan out of the best players?

There is no such thing as a moral victory.

In Round 1 Brisbane Had a "moral victory" over Freo.

Take a look at the ladder, Freo have 12 points and Brisbane have NONE.
