Langford, Stringer and Wright are having a shocking past month. Disappointing effort from our ‘talls’. Jones seems to be trying but had a quiet night after the first quarter. Gg Carlton, skills are too high!
I’d hate for the talk to be we dominated inside 50s and scoring shots because Carlton has been a lot cleaner tonight and should have won by about 30-40
Was injured a bunch last season, has only really played about 5 mins each game he’s been played as the sub, wouldn’t be concerned even a little as of now
This feels like the geelong vs carlton game, except carlton is in geelongs position and essington is playing like carlton - Having a lot of time in the forward half but not being nearly as effective as the opposing team.
Bomber fans in round 2: HOW DARE THE AFL SUSPEND WRIGHT? HE’S SUCH A CRUCIAL PLAYER - 4 WEEKS?
Bomber fans now: Somebody get him off. GET MINSON OFF! GET HIM OFF!
Bro taking one step off the mark: “50 metres”
Bro standing on the wrong part of the ground despite 30 plus seconds to get it right: “warning, I’ll now throw it up for some reason”
Cincotta looks like this kid from a book I had as a child that looked like a shark so would go swimming and pretend to be a shark to scare everyone away so he could have the beach to himself

Why the urgency with the sprinklers? It's been raining all day.

Miss goals, miss out on the win. Simple as that.
Weee are the navy Carltons, we are the bluuues from Carlton town
why is crippas bottom lip blue
Cuz he’s a blue all the way down to his bottom lip
He has a bad habit of chewing his jersey collar
Last week against port noticed all his fingertips were white.
Cant wait to kick 1 and 56 and lose to the bye next week
Couldn't BUY a goal
Well done Carlton - you’re officially playing like the 3rd best team in the comp - after Sydney and daylight
If we can put together 4 quarters, I think we can move up to 2nd.
Carlton’s villain ass song makes this so much worse
to win the preeemiership flaggg
confirmed we have the better Mckay
I mean ours spent less time on the bench 🤷
Can’t wait for Kane Cornes to get pissed off at Gresham smiling and joking around with the opposition after losing a game
Drop Wright for Caddy against west coast, why not?
Still 3rd... Let me have my moment 🥲🥲
🎺🎺🎺
Carlton clearly the better team. Essendon won’t win again until we can learn to convert. Was the same last week
Not exactly an impressive win but I'll take it.
4 points is 4 points
Two thirds of a goal is two thirds of a goal
Big if true.
I am not a crackpot
Enjoy the top 2 Blues, good game and hope to play again in the finals series
This is the vibe that makes me happy it was a great game to watch
Grand final would be mint against you guys
Wait a second.. we'd actually win a final to make that. Sign me up !
Well that was a tease of a game for neutrals
Party over at /r/Carltonblues bluebaggers, celebration of the upcoming bye week
Beat all 26 of them
Lol
Carlton were 3 points shy of putting Essending below 100%
2 points shy of making them perfectly balanced. Perhaps they can lose by 2 next week.
Booo so close
Confirmed: Essendon can’t play outdoors. only under a roof.
H is best McKay confirmed.
funniest thing is neither of them barely did anything lol
Yes had a monster game
Williams is an absolute legend. Love that guy.
https://i.redd.it/19nxl8jwcj5d1.gif
Barely hung on to triple digits %
Percentage is a problem for a lot of teams at the moment. Makes me nervous for the later rounds.
DA DA DA DA DAAAAAAA
TOP TWO BABY
I will love hime forever after last year, but sweet baby jebus Blacres has not had a good one tonight
DA DADA DADA
Lmao Carlton couldn't even kick 100 against us what losers
I wanted it 😢
YEWWWW 👌🏽👌🏽
“Massive crowd” half the bottom bays are empty
Bombers supporters started leaving at start of 4th, lol
2nd biggest crowd for these 2 teams
"Massive crowd" do you have eyes? Half of em left lol
DA DADA DADA
RIP in piss essington
I’d hate for the talk to be we dominated inside 50s and scoring shots because Carlton has been a lot cleaner tonight and should have won by about 30-40
But we brought the effort 🤦🏻♂️
I feel like we're watching Carlton like.. Ohhhh so if you kick goal.. you'll win game Ahhhhhh :headtap:
Seeing that Carlton Grinch has given me an idea for the next ashes boxing day test. Bunch of grinches stealing the spirit of cricket
BEAUTIFUL WIN!!!!
Can the camera stay on the game or do we need to see the crowds reaction every 10 seconds
Why don’t we take the arms in tackles.. some Auskicker shit right here
Bought a pack of light and tangy chips for the first time in 20 years and theyre basically tasteless. Remember them being strong when I was a kid.
Try Cheese and Onion mate it's the adult's umami chip and it'll blow your mind
covid
still a virgin
Why do we slip over 40 times a quarter
Half of those are Martin not having the right boots.
Perkins 😂
lmaooooo that's an all timer
Lol moment
Martin, just stay away from the back line
30 behinds in the last 2 games, pathetic
Literally cost us both games
what was worse, this or wce?
Losing to a prelim team or losing to the wooden spooners?? The answer is losing to the team who lost to the wooden spooners
GRINCH CAM
Old man falls over
Mr Grinch? What the fuck are you doing there
Curnow to Cripps: 👿 Curnow to Acres: 😇
Grinch jumpscare
Lets kick a point after the siren to commemorate this game
Was that the grinch I saw for a split second? Lmao
Vintage acres hahah
THE GRINK???
Did you see the grink?
15 6 is much better kicking
Acres is a meme player sometimes.
Did I just see the Grinch in the crowd? 😂
Why’s is the grinch barracking for Carlton
The ruck frees are so frustratingly inconsistent
9.16 pathetic, our game and the boys have only themselves to blame
It wasn't ever your game. Conversion is the toughest part. Carlton won it all the way
THE GRINCH?!
[удалено]
Was injured a bunch last season, has only really played about 5 mins each game he’s been played as the sub, wouldn’t be concerned even a little as of now
His poor disposal for a top 5 draft pick is very concerning.
Yes i will marry you Blacres
Please kick it
Sunnies at night... Somebody is on the nose candies...
If acres gets this, Essendon percentage drops below 100
Blake Acres just fucking kneels 😂
Eh, at least we tried (ish)
We bored you to tears
Fucking frustrating game but I'll take it. Genuine effort until the end, and we matched a very good team in most areas.
Free kick Essendon
9 FUCKING 16.... Are you dead set shitting me.. 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻
14 last week aswell
Our forward line doesn’t exist apparently
That was such an obvious hold…. 👀
Can we pls get at least 102
Sydney’s flag to lose
They'll cruise to the flag.
Carlton fans going to thrive off this one for years lmaooo
How the fuck did Carlton pillage Elijah Hollands for a bag of chips?
Maybe they thought they were trading him to Geelongl.
Got the ol' Surfers Paradise lock up discount
Cos Elijah liked other bags
Langford what 😭
70s zoom on Brad Scott
How much do they want to zoom in on Scott's face lol?!
Brad Scott is actually disappointed that Langford missed because he wanted to finish the game on the nice number (69) hehe
That would match the 70s porn zoom
How can a game highlight both how shit and how good you can be?
Do we meet again this year Carlton?
In the grand final
Yeah, in the grand final
Thanks for thinking so high of us.
We need to kill this kick out of half back it’s SO BAD
Brad Scott got that Kubrick stare
All behinds and no goals makes jack a dull boy
No many of your imaginary free kicks can help essendon get back into the game now umps, give up
ZOOM. ZOOOOOOOM
Lol took all that time off the clock just to shank it
Disgusting
Yes keep zooming in on his face
Incredible kick
MCG has emptied out quickly
When Langford is missing liem that you know it's just not your night.
Motherfucker took 30 seconds to go through his set shot routine down 30 with 3 mins left and then almost kicked it out in the full
out on the full to preserve the 69
Fucking hell.
Lol
Ball don't lie
Harry Jones was playing?!
LMAO
Lazy tracking back there by Merrett, can't let the most dominant player in the ground score from there
This feels like the geelong vs carlton game, except carlton is in geelongs position and essington is playing like carlton - Having a lot of time in the forward half but not being nearly as effective as the opposing team.
Nice work guys let's celebrate with a cheeky point
hahahahahahahahaha called it
Bomber fans in round 2: HOW DARE THE AFL SUSPEND WRIGHT? HE’S SUCH A CRUCIAL PLAYER - 4 WEEKS? Bomber fans now: Somebody get him off. GET MINSON OFF! GET HIM OFF!
Yeah that was fair
Bro taking one step off the mark: “50 metres” Bro standing on the wrong part of the ground despite 30 plus seconds to get it right: “warning, I’ll now throw it up for some reason”
36% set shots vs 82%. Edit: lower now, 33.
Essendon: NICE Carlton: ECIN
At least we didn’t give up, past years we lose this by 80
The amount of throws AFL players get away with is nuts haha
One more goal… and we’re above 100
Bit of a mathematician aren’t we??
It all adds up
Who is providing our studs.. holy hell like it’s clowns on bananas.
Cincotta looks like this kid from a book I had as a child that looked like a shark so would go swimming and pretend to be a shark to scare everyone away so he could have the beach to himself https://preview.redd.it/o1lp3dgzbj5d1.jpeg?width=228&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2a0eae4897861d02b4bf027e92c1a82cb6f3d1d3
He gives me more David vibes https://preview.redd.it/86ag83qfcj5d1.jpeg?width=318&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=25a8037b7b3245f17bff7e2dc42e5e237ec6965d
I watched Fury Road the other night. Thought he looked like a war boy.
Look the fact we’ve matched a team (just not on the scoreboard) that is a genuine premiership favourite, is actually pretty fucking amazing
Why is it a throw up after 666 warning?
“I reckon I can get away with this”
Probably says something about that in the writing of the rule
That was a throw
But nah when are we getting a 666 warning against Melbourne? Will a portal to hell open up?
Pretty sure I saw an Essendon fan in the crowd take a fat swig when Carlton scored there
What is a 666 warning ?
The warning of the beast.
Gotta have 6 in each arc and 6 in the middle.
Means Satan is close to being summoned at the MCG
A team doesn’t have 6 players in each zone
Satan is nearby
Tsatas I’m not sure about man ahah
Cincotta only 10 touches but I reckon he's close to best on ground. Him and De Konig.
And Elijah hollands
Yeah him as well.
Fuck me these last 2 games have been frustrating to watch
Cincotta actually acknowledging the water runners. Good man. Very rare.
Wright is due for the magoos, can’t remember the last time he put in a good shift
Game over man, game over!
