Broke the record for the most dollars per square metre in Balwyn, $3179 per sqm! House sold for 2.122 million. My mum is over the moon. Thanks for asking. ;)

No worries - is she moving back to Greece ?

Today was much better, a glimmer of light.
We're still down on skill and we won't be going anywhere until we get a good tall forward but the boys scrapped hard and kept believing right until the bell.
We might have finally got a draft pick right, Cripps will be a good player.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

Why is everyone so anti Ellard?  I wasn't there but for a bloke who is short on pace, size, skill, he throws his weight around, cracks in hard and kicked a nice goal.

Shows a bit of leadership Too.

I agree we need better but he is far from our biggest issue.

Ok retire him for it ::) The 11.18 wasn't an issue for you? Cripps, Everitt kick their sitters, we'd be having a different discussion. They're critical moments.

Yes cripps bungled 2 kicks.... and everitt

..the list is poor top to bottom..

Murph and gibbs arent leaders

Too many plodder

Carrots and simpson have run their race

I have been advocating another cleanout...

Agree, think he should and will hold his spot.

I rarely comment especially in post game threads, but always read. I only saw the first qtr due to going to a wedding and I'm yet to read through this thread, but Yaz whacking Chapman was gold. Fkck that guy. In a way I wish yaz handt hit him, and someone else had, cos I dont want him to miss. But it's good to see some fight. Chapman started the niggle and Yaz ended it. Shame we didnt win.

Oh - and btw, that horrific interfence/shepherding rule in marking contests will ruin this game. Those 2 decisions that went Essendon's way were absolute howlers.
On the money, Brettie. Can't see how Yarran can be pinged when he was dead centre of the drop-zone. No matter what he did with his positioning, it's up to others to get around him legally, not for him to invite them to mark. Only an ump having as bad a game as that one did couldn't see that. Put his whistle away too many times after that for mine, to our detriment, much as I hate potting the umps.

Much as I like Chappie as a player, he was asking for it. Sad no one nailed Melksham. What an embarrassment to the game he is.

Unfortunately, we are stuck with Jones for three-years. I made an early call on him and was howled down by many over it, it's only taken three games for him to display his inefficiencies.

He is a slightly shorter version of Casboult, can take a decent mark but is not reliable when kicking for goal (he is better than Levi but then again, so is my Grandmother). He doesn't work hard enough to win possession or present for the ball to be delivered to him, makes me angry because he was brought to the club for exactly that reason.

Many a Dogs supporter have told me that their biggest knock on him was that he had no second efforts, once beaten for the ball he just let it all go. At 198cm & 98kg, he has the bulk to be an imposing forward so why the hell doesn't he throw some weight around or crash some packs ??

Because he isnt up to it and hasnt been since day 1 and should be off the list.....

For me the only thing that let us down today were our skills. That last kick and our kicking for goal hurt us.

We actually killed them at the stoppages and the contested ball but couldnt finish them off!

Did anyone see the attendance figure for the game? There seemed to be huge gaps in the  crowd almost all around the stands.

Thanks K. Pretty low on past crowds numbers? There didn't seem to be much of an atmosphere either, although I was watching on TV from  the comfort of my couch.
