I just hope that Carlton:
- Will prepare for a full STRENGTH Essendon team
- Plan for some to be out
- DO NOT TREAT THEM LIGHTLY
- DO NOT THINK THEY SIMPLY NEED TO SHOW UP TO GET THE 4 PTS
2017-16th
2018-Wooden Spoon
2019-16th
2020-dare to dream? 11th is better than last I suppose
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time

The 1994  2nd semi still sticks in my guts as one we should have won

This is the kind of game we lose.   The one late  in the year where they got rubbed out we lost by 8 points, should have won by 10 goals but never looked like winning.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Given how many years have passed, and how many footy games have occured since then, 3 out of 4 is a pretty good effort.

According to one of my AFL books, Stoneham was missing as well.

I remember vividly I couldnt go to the game, the bloke I normally went with said to me "never mind, it will be a cake walk, lets worry about next week". And that my friends is a lesson in getting ahead of yourself.

Yes, should have been a comfortable win for us. Mind you, back in those days such confidence usually turned out to be right.

And he had 5 negative prior to positive on Fri. I would guess his positive might have been dodgy.

What that shows is that this thing and the handling of it is full of contradictions.
I don't think anyone has a real handle on it and the various manifestations.

I'm happier now that the game goes ahead without some players missing...but I really don't think we have a clue as to what's going on and that means that it could turn on us pretty quickly.
Nothing would surprise.
