Not if you're an Essendon* Fan.

Correction: We actually kicked 22 behinds.

Unless you are also including Hird.

Pro: This is Koutas most memorable post. (actually 'only' memorable post)

Con: Is probably Kouta's real name.

The cheer that followed the song was awesome, whilst the singing was going on there was alot of waving to the Dons exiting early.

On the way out some of the scum tried yelling back but to no avail as the waving them on with a smile said it all, p$ss off you tools

Pros: ' Eddie Betts... But Wallis shouldn't ' placard in the cheer squad.

Nice step up from the usual 'go blues!'

It's not his job.

Quit your whining, it was a terrific win.

Bad kicking is bad football, but surely the work of Andrew Walker and Eddie Betts up forward this year with their goal kicking suggests some great work is being done....

Don’t they do the hip operation to fix the OP ?. Players are usually out of action for a few months in the preseason when they have it.
Looks like they hoped they could rush Waite through but it didn’t come off. Henda took a while to get over it and so did Russ who had both hips done.

biggest pro by a long way:

a number of players not only stood up but raised the bar. it will be the making for quite a number of them.

I heard Watson this morning, he wore one of SOS's jumpers that Andy gave him. A few Carlton supporters were to sing the Da Da Da Da Da part. He only got one part wrong when he sang "we are dark old navy Blues".

Pros;


So many but here goes;

Murphy
Warnock, his best game by a mile
Judd's mark
Walker, Betts and Garlett standing up after being goalless last week
Scotland, gets better with age
Thornton, what a difference a year can make.
Great team effort

Cons;
Kicking for goal again
Gibbs injury
Laidler's bump

Have another whinge after a 67 point win.

Just like the muppets who think Fevola should return.

To the Essendon* flog in Q18 Row A, I hope you're reading this.
You give the 0.1% of Essendon* fans with a brain, a bad name.

The whole game he was whinging about umpireing and lauding his Essendon* "champions".
In the 3rd, he started putting on a spastic voice (which wasn't much of a stretch) saying "I'm Heath Scotland, I'm the worse player in the AFL, I can't believe I still get a game" and "I'm Henderson, I'm All Australian full back"

I asked him, "Why are you still here deckhead, you're team is being smashed"
He said "I'm supporting my team, even if they lose, more than you'd do"
I went to get some beers 3 min before the 3QT siren and when I returned, he and his retarded mates had gone. My mate heard them say, "You go now, I'm wait 30sec" so it wouldn't look like it was an exodus.

So I never got to say goodbye you brainless, worthless coward.

Bye

Pros:

Robbo just about BOG in my mind. Shut down Fletcher and you beat Essendon*. He really had Fletcher distracted and preoccupied. And his efforts to win the ball and apply defensive pressure really set a standard.
Murphy was brilliant.
Warnock feasted upon Essendon* again. He must really like playing against these guys.
Great to see Garlett get over his recent goalkicking yips.
Great job by the MC. Looked like Judd almost played as a decoy. Took one of their few ballwinners away from the contest, and gave room for our midfield depth to do its work. Great job to 'save up' the Robbo to Fletcher move in recent meetings for when it really counts.
Best midfield game I've seen from Gibbs. Hope he's right to play next week.
Carrazzo's job on Watson.
Great defensive effort as well. Duigan, Hendo, Laidler and Yarran were all great. And gee, having Jamo back makes a huge, huge difference. Just a class defender.

Cons:

Poor kicking for goal early.
Will Lloydy tell us that Pears' injury really cost them again?

Although he may/may not get rubbed out I put Laidler's bump as a PRO - we are too ofetn the victims of this sort of thing and we have this soft reputation. We need opposition players being a bit nervous about going hard for the ball and I reckon Laidler put a few wee dribbles in a few undies with those bumps of his.

Sometimes you have to lose the battle to win the war and at least we fired a few shots yesterday.

Good point. I was pretty frustrated early after our runs of behinds, and thought he wasn't getting to the contest or applying defensive pressure. But his last 3 quarters were fantastic.

Great point. He's a real knob.

In Ratt's presser he baulked at suggestions that we should be happy that we won without Juddy having a blinder. I think the unspoken word from him was that he was quite happy for them to focus on Judd and leave the other guys running around unattended.
