Carlton are DEFINITELY tanking if they lose this.
Haha, I sat there at half time and said to all the yelling and bagging Essendon supporters next to me..."don't worry, we'll win this regardless of our shitness". I at no stage thought we would lose.

And yet he is the worst AFL player ever to play the game, Including Dwayne Armstrong.
Kepler Bradley has that gong hands down.

I don't care how we won, but any win against the scum does me fine.

1st half was the worst i've ever seen...

2nd half was exciting stuff, i don't think they were tanking but can't say for sure

glad to get over the line in the end, couldn't go through 2007 with 2 loses to both Collingwood AND Carlton

Well tonight and tomorrow makes it very interesting... results will definitely have a bearing on our continued finals hopes. Of course they sit firmly in our own hands with games against Richmond and WCE coming up.

Yep. I didn't think we'd lose. I was worried at times, but never thought we'd actually lose. Tried to get a chant up in the second half when we were getting closer on the scoreboard - no-one bit though. :(

Any win against the scum is a good win, but I have to say there is a little feeling of emptyness, the scum are tanking, no question. When the lead see-sawed in the final quarter I couldn't help but feel they were just putting on a show. When the game was there to be won, i just felt we did it a little too easily taking into consideration the earlier stages of the game.
