Why am I still tuned into Ch.7 for the Essendon* song? I must really hate myself. My wife is hiding at the other end of the house.

all those 500 odd pages of the Essendon* threads over the last few months are just a escape from the agony of following this club

it's sickening

it's pathetic

Haven't been this angry for a long, long time.
We don't deserve to gloat.
Finals? Pffft

Yeah but whatabout your whataboutism.

You reap what you sow.

What goes around comes around.

Fools rush in.

What a pathetic piece of sh1t this club is!

Paint had better be peeling off those walls tonight. Just publicly name and shame them.

We don't deserve to play finals. When scores level w 3mins to go, I said to my mate we are in trouble b/c they have more ticker than us... Heartbroken.

doesn't matter that we have spuds like joseph,duigan and warnock in the side. that was unforgivable. Even by our lofty standards of choking. that was one out of the box

OK

Calm response -

They are a better team than us.

But we choked.


Our forward line, structures, and goal kicking have been an issue for years.
(not to mention mental weakness)

When will someone fix this??

When will someone make Johnny Barker accountable??
When will someone learn to draft forwards that can kick goals ? (Menzel is a good start)
When will someone swallow their pride and realise we need more help & a better goal kicking coach?

Why are these questions so obvious, yet no ground has been made on this?

Why have we been impotent in front of goal since Fev left?

Just shambolic.

Lose next week and still stumble into 9th. Essendon** get points deducted.

Then we can go down in history as the worst team ever to play in the finals. One way for the 2013 Carlton team to be remembered.

Does anyone else find it a tad ironic that 2020 was the year we were hit by an event that no one saw coming?

Maybe next year we can join the A-league?

its not about finals

its about @#$%&! pride

how the @#$%&! do you let that mob beat us like that

@#$%&! the finals who gives a shit

but @#$%&! care about the jumper at the very least

This will hurt WAY more mate, we've turned Hird into a conquering hero/martyr... another spiritless thumping would have give him the anticlimactic kick up the arse he deserved. That club song was the most boisterous I've ever heard... made me phyiscally ill.

We are so bloody weak!!!!!! a little push and then we are out of the contest.

Couldn't give a @#$%&! about finals!

In fact, if I was carlton, I would forfit the spot and give it to a team that deserves it.... Cause we sure as hell don't!!!

Some games of football turn on a solitary moment
Betts' missed shot on goal when he should have iced it from point blank range was the turning point
No leadership throughout bar Simpson
Waite hopeless all night
Murphy MIA again. Refuses to impose himself on the game by refusing to hunt the ball
Gibbs missed chance to ice it from a comfy set shot

Levi, Graham, McCinness choked but they're kids
You excuse them

But you don't excuse so called leaders
Murphy
Betts
Waite
Gibbs

NOOOOO!!! That will make them sad and not want to work hard for their favourite sport for hundreds of thousands a year playing their favourite game!

It leaves a dirty taste in your mouth being beaten by the cheats. How hard is it watching the cheats celebrate like their honest people. i don't want to play finals because the cheats are proven to be what they are. Pissed off!
