View Full Version : Blues - who will they blame this time?
Last time it was James Hird's fault they lost. They also blamed poor kicking - even though we kicked just as poorly that night.
Suggestions to help Ratten out?
Perhaps the "boogie" is the culprit?

You guys are becoming a bogie team for us that's all.
If i was going to blame anything else it would be how badly drilled we are and how well drilled you guys are.

There is no one to blame.
Essendon comprehensively demolished a pack of useless over-rated hacks.
You guys are good, very good. You're lightyears ahead of where everyone had you, and a top 4 berth is not out of the question.
Enjoy the ride :thumbsu:
it seems a hell of a lot more exciting than ours.
We forget to tell them that the second half had begun

Umpiring. - It "gifted" us two goals apparently, but they've obviously forgot about the decisions that went their way in the second quarter. But yeah, the umpiring still won us the game, according to many Carlton supporters on SEN. Scumbags.
Weather Conditions. - There was some dew on the ground and the temperature fell below 10 degrees during the game. Had the temperature stayed above 10 celcius, there is no doubt Carlton would of won the game. We should count ourselves fortunate.
MCG Lighting. - Apparently they are in the process of replacing the globes in the light towers. The lighting is more powerful than usual which resulted in Carlton's poor decision making. Had the lighting not been changed, Carlton would of won.
Signage around the ground. - The "Dons Bet" advertising boards on the Southern Stand wing. Carlton do not like this sort of advertising. Had these signs not been there, they would of won the game.
Scoreboard Font - The MCG has decided to use "Arial" font for their scoreboards. If they used "Times New Roman", there is no doubt Carlton would of won.
Really it's just another game we can consider ourselves lucky to win.
rather than blame, they should be thankful that hille was out and that watson left the ground, otherwise 100 points was looming!
Umpiring. - It "gifted" us two goals apparently, but they've obviously forgot about the decisions that went their way in the second quarter. But yeah, the umpiring still won us the game, according to many Carlton supporters on SEN. Scumbags.
Must have been the dirty bluebags i was sitting near. Never have i seen such appalling supporters! Worse then Collingwood by far! For some reason they believed its ok for Carlton to push a guy in the back but no one else can do it! Please, 69 points doesnt come from umpiring decisions. Try a full forward who did not want to be there!
Scoreboard Font - The MCG has decided to use "Arial" font for their scoreboards. If they used "Times New Roman", there is no doubt Carlton would of won.
But surely due to the new lights at the MCG, Carlton were not able to see the scoreboard anyway?

Congratulations on a great win :thumbsu::thumbsu:

Was the Gibbs that pussied out when NLM was going to bump him?
Waston - If not for his injury, Carlton would surely have score 70 points from his turnovers.
yet, their fans are still calling up SEN and getting laughed at.
This is pure comedy.
Their problem, and achillies heal is that their fans represent the club - arrogant and full of excuses. From umpring, to articles to the temparture being half a degree less than it should be.
In short, they have their head up their clackers and simply put, buying players like Judd can only cover the holes in their list. In games like last nights, the blanket gets pulled back and everything is exposed.
The best part, is I think last night it dawned on many Carlton fans of exactly where they are at. They have 3-4 key defenders, but all of them C+ to B level unfortunatley. Their small backs, ie armfield/Browne/anderson etc really do struggle to play this game, their midfield isnt deep - struggled in the rotations more than most, and forward line - its gonna be interesting to see how they see out fevs final years because they have precious few options up there.
I think we have a young forwardline problem, but I think to potentials in Neagle, Gumbleton, Still then when Hille is back we have 3 ruckman in Hille/Ryder/Laycock who can play that roll, then we have 'defenders' who have played a bit of junior footy forward in Daniher and Hurley who potentially wont even be missed in the back half. I then look across to Carlton, and laugh. If we have a problem, what do they have?

Some Carlton fan was trying to convince me at HALF TIME that the umpires had gifted us atlest 5 of our 8 goals.
They were only down by like 1 point and they were pulling out the excuses. Muppets.
Well done 'Dons. :thumbsu:
How bloody sweet it is to see the scum, and the media darlings, get embarrassed.

Ah la, this week with numerous posts stating that Jamo will be the difference this time. Well, looks like they were right - 4 pts to 69 pts that's the Jamo difference. :thumbsu:

i am new to this posting caper and prior to this game decided to join to just bag jamison on the carlton boards. i did and loved every minute of it. having watched the replay i dont think he is that bad its the others in the backline that make him look horrendous and i mean really bad. the one thing i will say about the game last night is that essendon are becoming a very very good MCG team and i would love for the club to move back there. the space is perfect for our game plan
I'm praying the new Essendon mod won't be anywhere near as (insert expletive)
Only to Carlton supporters

As soon as I saw the teams line up on Friday I was very confident. Take away Judd and Fev and their best 22 is awful, especially down back.
dougthelegend
28 Jun 2009, 11:57
As is constantly pointed out by everyone - their list depth is shocking - they have maybe 3-4 class players....then after that it gets pretty thin. Fev on his day is definately an A Grader, but on a night like Friday, when his team is getting thoroughly pantsed, he is nowhere to be seen, whereas a player like Lloyd, is still out there tackling his guts out for his team. Huge difference.

hey, if I become Mod, does anyone object for me to become a Nazi against the Scum supporters?I wouldn't recommend it. I like the attitude we've got on this board at the moment (Merv/RIG/Ant's legacy?); allowing opposition supporters to come in and have a bit of friendly banter, but stepping in if they step out of line.
I wouldn't want this board to become precious in banning anybody who writes anything other than 'Essendon are the greatest'.
they should blame judd.
he brought a culture of going to the highest bidder
they dont play for their jumper they play for their paycheck
no heart no soul nothing their pathetic and should be shut down
Whispers were that west coast rated masten higher than morton
personally i think carlton would have been better building a winning culture (like yours) not tanking and getting kreuzer and cotchin while keeping kennedy who is the much needed tall forward for when fevolard goes missing/crying/whinging/bitching etc

To say we will blame John Elliot is just stereotyping the worst type of fans that everyone has. Including Essendon, that will be ringing up SEN when the blue boys knock the bombers out of the finals... in 2045.

The Carlton attitude was encapsulated by Fevola taking a beautiful one handed mark, then showing the ball to Tayte Pears. Then he embarrassed himself by spraying what should have been a simple goal. After that, he just sulked, and sulked, and sulked.
In case anyone missed it, that was the turning point of the game. Essendon lifted and Carlton just stood by and watched.

Pretty sure that was the last shot on goal Fev had, IIRC.
