Carltank.

CARLTANK!!!

I would have thought that, by now, you two might have the sense to stop using that term, given the team you support.

Carlton did nothing that we haven't done.

I Beg Your Pardon-You obviously know nothing of Carltons History Between 1965-1995.

The Rorted the systems in place at will. I suggest you do a little reading.

So it's okay to bag Carlton for 'rorting the system', when we all advocate trying to lose games instead of trying to win?

It doesn't matter what Carlton did. The fact is, we are rorting the current system by choosing not to win games when we could be.

If we are going to call for the club to lose games to get a PP, we must stop insulting other clubs who did the same.

Stay on topic, if you want to flurry off about Carlton, create a new one.

I would love to falter Carlton's top 4 hopes, don't think it will happen but still it would be great. I just hope we don't beat Freo then Carlton see a chance to wreck our hopes of PP and lose to us.

Carlton Cheated in many ways over decades. They ran their own race & were proud of it.

The Current Priority Pick rules Stand, bought in by the AFL. The MFC is not cheating at all. We have 40 odd players on our list & can pick whom ever we like to take the field, as it stands now we have 26 available players i think.

I am not a great fan of the present PP system but i don't like your inference that our club is cheating. Coz it aint.

I am not saying we or any club is squeaky clean, but cheating it is not.

Don't forget the AFL has been watching our ongoing business plan for a good couple of years very closely.

We are not in the same league as carlton.

My choice ( probably totally unrealistic, but one can dream)- beat St Kilda by 1 point - we would end their winning streak ( if they are still undefeated by then) - but it would give us a great morale boost . AND I HATE ST KILDA !!

Dream on! And why do you hate St Kilda that much? I've always found their supporters suitably humble. They've suffered more than most, and remember we beat them in that heroic final on that Friday in the wet in 2006, losing Grant Thomas his job in the process.

CARLCHEATS without any shadow of doubt. Sweet revenge, of sorts.

I understand where you're coming from. However, the term Carltank is a pretty unambiguous reference to Round 22, 2007. We on Demonland used it to bag them for trying to lose that match to get the PP. I stand by my comment that no pro-tanking/list-management Melbourne supporter should use that term. It stinks of hypocrisy. That's really what I wanted to get at.

All that aside, if we don't beat Fremantle this week there wouldn't be much greater satisfaction than beating Carlton and stuffing up their finals campain. It's bad enough to think that they're actually going to play finals.

Personally, I've come across many arrogant St Kilda supporters, hence why I hated them a few years back, but then they've just been pretenders for the past 5 seasons, so I've softened on them. I'd rather them win it than Collingwood or Geelong though.

Football is a tough game on & off the field.

Back in 2007 i had no problems with Carltons "Tanking" as they were doing it within the Rules.

I was far more disapointed that we let them walk over us in that round 22 match, although i would not be suprised if our caretaker coach of the day Mark Riley had already committed to the Carlton assistant job going forward.

That is what made me feel sick.


If we lose to Freo ( we can then afford to win one more game without losing PP ) would you rather

- a - beat Carlton

- b - beat St Kilda

I think you've forgotten they Shafted us on-field & then hired our Coach of that day.

rd 22 home game against the unbeaten saints, watching the game with a real cocky trash-talking st kilda mate of mine, as well as a great confidence booster for our team.

Issue to do with a previous girlfriend - that's all I can say !!

As much as I would enjoy seeing the Dockers get downed tomorrow and am almost certain of it happening, I hope we lose and again next week to Carlton. I want there to be no doubt about getting the priority pick which is worth so much at such a crucial time.


Carlton by a mile, I could listen to Freo's horrible song 100 times if we belted the scum bag blues by 10 goals.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
