Game Day 2026 Rd 13 Carlton vs Essendon GAMEDAY - Sunday 7th June 7:20PM AEST

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Nice final attack without the ball by Carlton. Does that count as an inside 50 stat?

 

[TENACIOUS]

What a shit game of football

 

[SolGoodman]

Only positives for me tonight have been Hewett, Acres and Dean absolutely destroying Caddy.

 

[Sharks On A Plane]

Painful stuff.

 

[T2B_]

Only get better as well will be a gun. But also if we can't make finals give him time up forward to learn more

 

[Just Kreuzing]

What a miss by Kemp.

Almost a decent footballer then he shanks an absolute sitter

Trade him back to Echuca for Cody…..

 

[Bluechip66]

Another solid play by Sheriff. Could have been selfish and took the kick but passed it on to Kemp who should have kicked that

Should’ve gone for goal!

 

[carlton_99]

Need to keep lifting the intensity both ways. Finishing in front of goal going to be important here. Needs to improve.

 

[Wickzki]

Good fight back in that last ten.

Lifted the work rate and pressure but missed a couple of gettable shots.

This should be a professional win from here.

 

[BeijingBlue]

Our ability to finish our work is just not up to the standard required.

 

[Faz 2000]

I think if the AFL really embraced their floating fixture concept, this one would have been played at 4:20am on a Tuesday.

Looks like 17th playing 23rd.

 

[CCurnow3picks]

Our class starting to show

Our effort is starting to show..

 

[Jacks Seething Rage]

....Derksen is not better than Lewis young as a backup.....

Different players.

Wade has been good tonight. A bit more urgency.

 

[Sucker for Trade Period]

Derksen is horrendous. Lewis Young

is miles better one-on-one.

 

[morningbrown]

Better quarter but so many easy misses. Might still cost us.

 

[Zlatan]

Better quarter, but absolutely unforgivable that Walsh is still out there. Kemp; infuriating.

Well done acres.

 

[95blues]

What a miss by Kemp.

Almost a decent footballer then he shanks an absolute sitter

The Paddy Dow of forwards.

 

[Bringbackeddie]

That final passage of play by the Dons there gives me hope - they’re possibly dumber footballers than us.

 

[Blue Dimension]

This game is killing me. Blues please just get the job done.

 

[passmark]

Still playing shit and all square.

Just bring the heat for 30 more minutes then it’s two weeks off!

 

[teknodeejay]

That shot for goal to take the lead by kemp was pathetic :/

 

[DZ4]

Two quick ones early then go and bury them.

 

[thechamps2025]

Well, that's not true.

No he isn't AFL quality, but the vfl can have him. Mind you rather other players not give him the ball to be that crucial last kick.

 

[RedFury]

Happy to have Acr4s in the squad.

When he's on he makes us a stronger team.

It shows the advantages of actually demoting people to the VFL when they need a spell to get their confidence and appetite back, rather than just keeping them in the AFL team ad-nauseum. He's been much better and hungrier since he came back.

 

[Pablito]

Honestly if Derksen can't hit a target 10 metres away by foot is he really a better option than Young?

Seriously poor.
