Was at the game, and you guys deserved the win. I must say if you told me Carlton would lose by 30+ points when we hit the lead i would have laughed. Credit to the dons, just too good for us today.
enjoy the win

Your fellow Carlton fans could learn a thing or 2 off you.
Thanks for the comment:thumbsu:
Would also like to congratulate your mob. It irks me that some of our own were saying this was a free four points, but as history shows Carlton vs Essendon games aren't always predictable. I guess it is our turn to cop it considering we were the "favourites" now.
You set the tone in the first quarter and never looked back, except for that period in the final quarter but kicked on to win by 6 goals anyway. Good luck for the rest of the season, and may you beat Collingwood to join the club. :thumbsu:

Thanks fellas. Another great game between our proud clubs. Hopefully soon enough this will be in finals for us both.

Good game guys, totally smashed us out of the middle.
Seeing that you guys came back after we hit the front I'd be dissapointed if anyone came here blaming the umpires.
Reimers looks good too, angry guy could really piss off his opponent ;)

You guys killed us in the clearances early and it was always going to be hard to do well when we're second to the ball.
Congrats on the win.

Well played lads, I'll admit I was very worried when you hit the front but thank Christ Gibbs shot faded at the last second and Laycock pulled one out of his arse.
And as Thrawn mentioned, has the favourite ever won when we play?

Not since 2002 iirc. It was also the last time you guys beat us twice in a season.

I concur, some of the other Carlton supporters could learn a thing or two from you boys. Great sportsmanship. :thumbsu:

Good fightback by Carlton to hit the front in the last quarter. They often put up a good show against Essendon regardless of ladder position. Good form by the Blue supporters posting here too.

Well done blues supporters, by far one of the classiest threads i have seen on this board.
WOW! Am I missing something here?
It was a great win and for all the crap I've heard from people during the week that we were going to be flogged it's brilliant to see some people come here and say we were the "better team".

Well deserved win. Essendon clearly best team on the day.

That was one hell of a last quarter, thought we were going to run over the top but your guys showed a lot of character. Well done and enjoy the win, it would be nice if clubs didn't have idiotic supporters jumping on each others boards saying that we are going to beat you easy wouldn't it?
Well played and a great win to the Don's, you guys deserved to win you came out and showed us how to play 4 quarters of footy. And thanks for teaching our young guys not to take things for granted. You deserved your win and I think it would have been a injustice if the Blues had won and the winning margin was about right as well. You outplayed us all day and hit us hard once again well done and good luck for the rest of the season. And here's to some more great clashes between us over the years.

I though Essendon was sensational yesterday.
Carlton got too ahead of themselves and you guys taught us a lesson.
Good luck for the rest of the season.

its refreshing to see considerring the A-grade tools i was sitting near at the match. they spent the whole match bagging the absolute shizen out of their own players, in the end we moved 'cos it was doin my head in!

well played Bombers, glad we fought back & made a game of it.
Bombers have figured out which kids have got what it takes Neagle,Reimers,Lonergan,Monfries.
Don't think we'll hear bring back Johnson,Peverell,Dyson,Johns again.
1 more missing link for your spine of Neagle,Gumbleton,Ryder, I hope you don't get Hurley.
looked at your draw & you could possibly finish above us.
