** Official Essendon Vs Carlton Game Thread **

I saw the game, and I was pretty happy with how Thommo went. Showed a few trademark moves tho did not look all confident as Ive seen him b4. made a few blues, tho he does do that, if there is one weakness its that every no and again he has a blank and blasts into nowhere off he boot. But that aside the guy is a gem, gives 150% every game, runs hard all day, excellent kick usually etc....a real team player.

Unsurprising for his first AFL game, though.
Did you play with him in Adelaide, Thunderstruck?

Nah, didn't play with him was and still am a die hard Central District supporter, the club he played for in the SANFL. Very close knit team there, all the boys would take a bullet for each other, Thommo was just a class act off the half back and spent lots of time in the middle, just ran the lines and ran hard and straight, no nonsense, no fancy footwork, no girly stuff.

Just give him time to adjust and ull love him i hope, injuries providing... I cant recal him getting injured at all in 3 years...maybe the odd niggle but nothing too major.

Just love to follow my boys from central, when the leave for bigger and better things, ie AFL. So Essendon are def my 2nd fav team atm after crows of course. As long as u down the SCUMBAGS...u know who then all is good. Nothing gives me more satisfaction than seeing the pies lose. Thommo loves ANZAC day here...back to back medalist for BOG in the grand final rematch.

Keep me posted on his progress

The umpires pets lose and they blame the umps, what a suprise.

How could you call Essendon a 2 man team? They are a one man team, Matthew Lloyd. Without him they cant kick enough goals to win a game

Lloyd only managed four goals in two games (1 and 3) against your very ordinary outfit you call a football team. We won twice.

He kicked 2.7 in R4 against Carlton and we won by 37
