also
Can Essington please do as they appear likely to, and hire James Hird back? A shit coach with a dirty black mark beside his name who last coached properly in 2013. And whose record is awful without Bomber Thompson telling him what to do.
This smacks of a couple of things - is the club inviting him to go through the process just so he can lose and try and put this thing to bed (well at least until the next guy fails), or do they think that 9 years in the wilderness is enough for the favourite son to now come back. And if he had even the slightest bit of success it will be played as one of the “great redemption stories” of this generation.
Bad PR around Essendon, long may it continue.
Just on that period, I think Bomber Thompson was the biggest problem. He bought the Weapon with him and obviously had his own demons that he had kept masked (from the public but not footy insiders), which was ultimately impacting his judgment on things.

fluffybunny should have stuck with the Crows ...

Exciting Brownlow (just like the season) and a deserved winner in Cripps.
The cream rose to the top - Neale, Miller, Brayshaw, the two Demons players.

loool
if i believed in conspiracies
Somehow gets off the most clear cut suspension ever
Polls 3 votes in two losses late in the season to win by a point
Why are the AFL so set on making Carlton relevant?

up the fucking bloods
...and where will i be watching....magnetic island....booked a trip to somewhere warms months ago...oh well...will still be better than sat when watching with my pies mate....he was unhappy
-
big game!
Geelong looked fucking ruthless on Friday. Smashed the Lions everywhere. If Hawkins didn't have an uncharacteristic shit night with the boot that is even uglier (than 12 goals already is, eeesh)
Sydney deservedly get the other spot. I hope they have one more big effort in them.
Good season lions. In or around the top 4 all year. Won 2 more finals than i expected. Some serious re-work needed in the offseason, as the hallmark of all our bad losses this year was getting intercept marked to death. But at least we are competing with the best teams and not talking about draft picks. except, oh look, we get the best player in the draft this year. Father/Son, how good?

furthermore, here's a stat
Carlton polled the 3rd most Brownlow votes as a team. And finished 9th.
Nah, nothing to see here...

@mariner4life for a decently high scoring game...there was a period of 36 min between goals for the swans...was getting very nervous...we were 1.1 in the final quarter

would have been a nervy finish!

@mariner4life if anything i think it made it much worse for my mate...think he had almost given up at 3/4 time and was about to just enjoy the game...and then those mother fuckers gave him hope

it's the hope that kills you

@mariner4life it’s not unusual for the Brownlow though to have high pollsters in mid-table teams because it’s often only 3-4 that dominate.
Agree on the non-suspension, but in those losses he was best on ground from watching. In particular that Pies final game, he was on another level.
Check this, Carlton got the Brownlow and Coleman medalists but didn’t make the finals - haha sucked in Blues (pretenders)
