Great game, good to see the McKay brothers play against eachother. Cmon baggers!

[@gustaaf1892]

Finally in their 8th year of AFL the McKay brothers play against each other. Now we know for sure there are two of them.

[@jackmag4056]

We were known as cardiac Carlton now it’s 4th quarter blues blitz

[@Bigrig90]

Very cool seeing the brothers playing against each other. Go pies

[@darylcumming7119]

Top win by the blues over one their arch rivals. Despite the game being over at half time .😊

The umpiring in this game was disgraceful towards both teams

[@iankearns774]

They are Umpires, thats their job.

Bomber fans still thinking are a chance against Carlton. Watch the highlights if you weren't at the Game. I was and watched a Carnage . Stopped screaming Goal half way through the last 😂

[@Sean-0-JH]

Scott needs to fix up Langford, Wright and Stringer in the forward line. They are the big three names that can pile on goals but combined they scored 1.2, and Wright didn't score at all. Its strange that when Wright goes out Langford kicks a bag about every game. And you'd think that would be because the goals are spread out between the two but thats not the case.

[@micknico3044]

Well done baggers! Good win..bad luck Bombers

[@debbiestuart4781]

The mckays

[@petermcculloch4933]

Essendon had sixty forward entries compared to Carltons forty.Infact they won just about every stat, including more scoring shots, yet the Blues had a comfortable win.The Bombers need to open up their attacking arc.Leave the mobile marking forwards like Langford, Stringer or Jones one out and use the other players to set up a defensive line between centre and centre half foward, to prevent their opponents from clearing the ball.They could use one running small to follow the footy and play as a crumber.

[@Cliffy1616]

@petermcculloch4933 Despite their forward line not functioning that great they still could have potentially still stolen the win if they just kicked straight. They were woeful kicking from set shots which was just frustrating to watch. Plus their main forwards in Wright, Langford, Jones and Stringer having a quiet night does not help at all. You’re right though their forward line always seemed way too clogged up with both Essendon and Carlton players. Which likely doesn’t help their main forwards when every entry is being sent into a massive pack of players. It was a frustrating loss, but i feel it also highlighted that if they can get their forward line working right they’re definitely more than capable of competing with the better teams.

[@ckreuzer4001]

@@Cliffy1616 they 25 shots at goal to 21. They still would have lost even if they kicked straight. Most of their points were rushed behinds.

[@jaskeey1639]

and alot of rushed behinds by them too

[@iankearns774]

Essendon chip it a round a lot and overdo the handball, Carlton had 25 more kicks and 15 more marks. Essendon had 59 more handballs and 58 more uncontested possessions. Those stats dont lie, they overdid the handball and weren't direct enough. They keep talking about inside 50's, Carlton went inside 50 and kicked goals so back to the middle went the ball, our defence held Essendon up a lot, our problem was our outlet kicks kept coming back into your 50, hence the extra 20 inside 50's. Thats something we need to work on if we want to go deep in finals, our outlet kicks from defensive 50.

[@iankearns774]

@@Cliffy1616 You kick a goal it goes back to the middle, you kicked points and we couldn't get it out of your 50 with an outlet kick. We were winning in the middle so I doubt that would have made any difference, if you kicked a goal it would go back to the centre and we were likely to go forwards.

Doesnt everyone hate the baggers though?

especially that wimp JB , don’t know what he has against the blues

[@iankearns774]

Let them hate, the hate will be worse in about 5 years time when we get our strut back after a couple of flag wins. Sydney is the main hurdle but they dont play Grand Finals at the SCG and I dont think we will play that bad again.

[@Sean-0-JH]

@@iankearns774 yeah cause there aren’t 16 other teams in the comp that can beat you

[@TigerTime3672]

Interestingly, the designated away team have won the last 5 games between Carlton and Essendon: 2024 Round 13 Essendon vs Carlton (Carlton win 96-70) 2023 Round 13 Carlton vs Essendon (Essendon win 86-52) 2022 Round 13 Essendon vs Carlton (Carlton win 80-54) 2021 Round 7 Essendon vs Carlton (Carlton 123-107) 2020 Round 4 Essendon vs Carlton (Carlton win 52-51)

What’s more interesting is that the only time the Essendon won against Carlton in the last five match ups, was the one time they were NOT the designated home team.

God JB is such a lazy commentator

[@Casanova-Frankenstein_93]

Right? Curnow kicks a huge goal from 50, and he gives a tame "bang."

[@LomuHabana]

Is it just me or does JB commentate almost every Carlton game? One of the worst for sure. Only Kelly Underwood irritates me more, but she doesn’t know any better.

BAGGERS

[@LTBurger]

Essendon are posers.

[@rhysh2639]

Essendon had the rub of the green with the umpires and still couldn't win.

[@BadgerFromOz]

Carlton rocketed up to second while Essendon dropped their second consecutive game and it is their own goddamn fault with their inaccurate kicking. Should've been much closer. Are the Blues the real deal this year? Time will tell.

[@LomuHabana]

We’ve both seen the Swans. At the moment, they are the only ones who deserve to be labelled “the real deal”. Blues have to back up the last few weeks with wins against, Cats, Tigers and Giants. Then we can have this discussion.
