Robert Heatley Stand / Re: VFL Rd 11 2026 Carlton vs Drug Cheats away

Lost by 8
Essendon 14-9-93 v Carlton 11-19-85

How can we lose to them? Hope our seniors dont take a leaf out of their book, I wouldnt be surprised thought.

It's funny.
I thought there were a lot of similarities between the VFL and the AFL side today in terms of performance
Both sides seemed a little 'off'
I'm just wondering with the bye coming up whether they worked really hard at training last week with the knowledge of an easier match tonight and a week off to recover.

Moir is one of the great wastes of obvious talent. Reminds me of Troy Menzel going back a few years. All talent but not the output to match.

Really think jack ison is going to be what Moir should have been.  Same skill level, but just harder and wants it more.  Doing the little things well, which Moir hasn’t done
Moir doesnt appreciate the natural talent he has, the skills are easy for him but there is more to the game than just having great skills and having to concentrate for 4 quarters and not be carefree seems too hard for him.

That Ruck Ruke is the worst rule imaginable. That together with the Stand Rule.

I watched Sydney and St.Kilda. Grundy didn't even just for some centre bounces as he looked like going over the line. t's was farcical. Happened a number of times. Must be a KPI at AFL House, to check your
 brain cells in at the door before entering the building.

At one stage in the 2nd they had like 7 centre clearances to none.  But I think 4 of 5em were frees (3 ruck frees)

And speaking of the broadcasters...Fckn couldn't have barracked any harder for the opposition.


All night, Ess just have to…. Caddy needs to…..   Cripps was given a long time to dispose of that…..   caddy may have been interfered with there…

Kenny must be really sore that his mate vossy got shafted.  And jack, well,  he just hates Carlton, and is a dopey prick

The result was always on the cards.
A big effort last week to get over the line.
The players would have been drained though obviously elated by that result last week.
They were as flat as pancakes for the first half tonight.
But we were able to squeeze out the win.

It seems the clock issue was only an issue with the broadcaster...nothing was lost with the official time keepers.
And speaking of the broadcasters...Fckn couldn't have barracked any harder for the opposition.

Geelong, Hawthorn, Sydney and us were all as flat as pancakes this week.
