It's clear to see the path the club is taking to maximise draft picks this year, but today just sucked!

Sitting in the crowd surrounded by those arrogant, moronic, pathetic human beings that are Carlton supporters, I wanted nothing more than for us to [censored] their joke of a team, but I knew before even turning up to the game we were never serious about winning.

Every time Judd came to the bench, it was almost a standing ovation by the morons around me.

I know the path we are taking, and the need to land the top 2 picks in the draft, but I would have given that extra pick up today to see us beat those clowns.

Very, very tough to sit through and watch, and little wonder so few of us actually turned up to cheer us on!

    Um, they are a sh!tload better than us.

    We didn't need any incentive to lose.

    We're crap.

    Agreed they are at present a better team, but we weren't without a chance of winning that game under normal circumstances.

    We go in with 3 ruckman, McLean plays forward for most of the game, Frawley comes off for a break to give McNamara experience on Fev..........all fine for development, but not going to win us the game.

    we will be a lot better next year, we will be the most improved team, if we are not i dont think Bails we last. We need to show a lot of improvement and then push for finals in 2011

    One of those ruckmen, and it was 4 ruckmen if you count PJ, kicked 5 goals and Martin and Spencer weren't given a bath.

    And McLean couldn't have been a huge loss - we won the clearances.

    McNamara on Fevola is an interesting one as I only saw a couple of Fev goals that were kicked on him.

    What I am saying is that some of these supposed 'experiments' actually worked in our favour and we still lost by 10 goals.

    We are awful. We let in 64 Inside 50s!

    This tanking/experiemental/list management debate ended after the NM loss. The PP has been ours since then.

    If you thought we had a chance against Carlton because we beat Freo last week you are setting yourself up for a fall.

    Yeah, we might do them over next year but we will need a summer in the gym, a suitable amount of skill work, and Scully, Trengove, Watts, Blease, Bennell, Maric, Grimes, Wonaeamirri, Garland, Warnock, Green, and Bruce.

    Amen to that! This season has been most unenjoyable and needs to finish! Plenty of good signs - grimes, jurrah, frawley etc etc, and a nice new set of draft picks - but i hate losing

    I thought we played alright for the first 2 and half quarters we didnt have our best side in and we nearly went goal for goal. Frawley was great on Fev early, but i think Morton was on Garlett and he tore us apart.

    We were never going to win but was great to see Nev Jetta run around the middle, and any game with Jurrah playing always gets me excited

    The experiment is worth pursuing. Good for today and next week as well. The season is well and truly munted so why not see who can do what? Even if we had our best cattle on the park it would have been a stretch to believe we could beat Carltons mids. I don't like the tanking stuff (aka the Richmond game) but against teams we will lose against why not see who can do what - and more importantly who can't - so we can delist those that have obvious flaws or are too one dimentional for this ever changing game. I hope we give people a good chance to show they can play different positions next week for that reason. Imagine uncovering a kid that can tag a Del Santo or spoil a Riewolt? Worth the pain I think.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
