Game thread - Essendon v Fat Lance and the Carlton Kids.

You might (rightfully) question why I created this thread almost 12 hours before the match.
Reason being of course is that this is not any other game. When the season is all but lost, it is these sort of games that set the tone for the summer break.
Last time we played them, I would rate that loss as one of the worst since the 99 Prelim, including the 2001 Grand Final and the belting against Adelaide last year. I had to put up with Carlton supporters that are mates/mates of mates coming out of the woodwork because the only shining light in their downright pathetic season was the fact that they beat us after being down a good 40 odd points.
In my short life supporting this club (relative to the rest of the BT'ers around here) there has been no bigger games than against Carlton and Collingwood, because most of the kids at primary/high school would support any one of the "big three" clubs.
The cheating f***sticks have had the wood over us since they cost us a shot in 99, it's just not right.
For godsakes, if you players can't do it for Hirdy, can't do it for Sheeds, can't do it to keep the finals dream alive, bloody well do it for me and the rest of the suffering supporters around here. We as a football club deserve better than getting beaten time and time again against the scum, of all teams.
