I was at the game, our boys tried so I don't get the lack of effort comments. We're just not very good.

Nup - that's a cop-out mbb. Our blokes do not work hard enough for long enough, they pick 'n choose when they wanna crack in. Who leads? Who gut runs? Who works hard to be an option downfield? Where are our blokes around the stoppages? Where are our loose blokes on the counter-attack? Don't make easy excuses for them mbb, they don't deserve it.

Thats what i was so pi55ed off with too Brettie.
No-one wanted to run hard enough for long enough. Thats why we had to bomb the ball so often and were so easy to read.
Can someone explain to me our game plan?

How many times did Murph stream into the forward 50, only to meekly pop the ball up in the air to a 2-1 contest against? Is he fcuking retarded?

Only 53000 there tonight, and thats being generous.  I can recall such a poor turnout for such a big game.  It was pretty much an even split.   It of a message for both clubs in that i think.

Dear All and Sundry,
I haven’t slept since last night so apologies if I start rambling.
I have been attending football games since the early 70’s, and a full Carlton member for 20 years.  I divide that time into two eras; a long, frequently joyful one that I look back upon with great pride at a club that never let us down, and post the cap rort penalties, a 10 year period in which this once great club has essentially became a shell of what it was.  During this second phase, there hasn’t been much joy, if any, at the footy.
During season 2013 I took a deliberate step back from AFL footy primarily as I feared that the game has gone to places that I hoped I would never go.  For somebody that grew up kicking the footy in the park until dark as kids, then attended 2 games most weekends and then committing to serious membership dollars this represents is a big shift in direction.
I approached this game with great trepidation as I have a great sense of what is right and wrong, and the sagas of this season have removed the game from what it used to be.  You worked during the week then you played footy on weekends.  Now it is uber professional and some have taken it beyond that.
On Saturday night I lost it, more than once, at the footy.  The result infuriated me because to me it represented a mob who have done the wrong thing triumphing over a club that has played by the rules. I abused everybody and everyone – players, umpires, officials… the world.  I said stupid things I am ashamed of in the heat of total frustration.   This is not something I am proud of and I apologise to all and sundry for this.  I realise that I have a serious issue and I am going to seek help for it.
As a result I am going to step away from elite-level football and dedicate myself to doing something more constructive with my time, such as helping out at local footy and sport.
I have been a member of this forum group since Brettie had 50 posts.  I can’t do it anymore, the sport and this club have broken me and I must change.  I wish you all the best in the future in your personal journeys, I wish the Essendon players who took any drugs  to avoid any long term health consequence and I wish the game good luck because it needs it.
Many thanks people and regards always,

Professer E

Once again, Simmo. I dips my lid to you. You play with the heart of a lion and the passion that  we all crave. You'd have every right to look elsewhere for a premiership. I dont think anywone would begrudge you if thats hat you wanted to do. I dont know how any of your teammates could look you in the eye this morning.
