carlton are absolutely screwed without fevola. and they have NO depth. take out murphy, gibbs judd and fev and they would get beaten by a LOT of teams.

one advantage of our last few years with all the injuries and experimentation is that we will have fantastic depth going forward - lots of players with talent and experience to cover the odd injury or two.

Great start to the commentary by Quartermain:

"It's been a long time between drinks in September for these two sides."

Haven't Brisbane won 3 flags and appeared in four Grand finals this decade?

Happy for him that he doesn't follow the Dees or the Saints.

It's a bit like last year. People all talking about Hawthorn 'ending their premiership drought with their first flag in 16 years'. Well, there are 16 teams. So on average, you'd hope that each team would win one every 16 years.

Journalists seem to forget about Melbourne, St Kilda and the Bulldogs when making these comments.

Will Judd be required to explain an unprovoked hand/fingers in Riscotelli's eyes when the Lions player was on the ground?

Damn well hope so. But I think the footage is inconclusive. I mean, how lucky is he that another Carlton player's legs obstruct the vision just as he sticks his hand in Rischitelli's face?

The evidence from the other angle is damning. He had no need to have his hand near Judd's face.

On the other hand, Andy Maher singing the Carlton song in the 3rd qyr just typifies the malignant culture at CFC.

Did he really?

Last time I heard a Carlton supporter get that far ahead of themselves was the qualifying final against us in 2000 and we know what happened after 3/4 time that day.

Carlton, we know your chokers!

I acknowledge your point regarding 'premiership droughts' for teams that haven't won a flag in a few years.

However, that's nothing like Quartermain's comment.

Half the teams in the competition play finals each year.

Great start to the commentary by Quartermain:

"It's been a long time between drinks in September for these two sides."

Happy for him that he doesn't follow the Dees or the Saints.

The Dees played in a final in 2006, the Saints last year.

Here's a list of the AFL teams, ordered by year they last played finals:

Adelaide 2008

Collingwood 2008

St Kilda 2008

Sydney 2008

Western Bulldogs 2008

North Melbourne 2008

Geelong 2008

Hawthorn 2008

Fremantle 2007

Port Adelaide 2007

West Coast 2007

Melbourne 2006

Brisbane 2004

Essendon 2004

Didn't Ratten decide to rest a few players, including Judd and Stevens, after Cloke kicked what I thought was the sealer?
He sure did. The vision immediately went to the box and whilst i am no good at reading lips, he immediately looked to make those moves straight after that goal. Perhaps even close things down.

I had a very enjoyable evening at a Carlton mates house watching the game.

About 5 minutes into the final quarter, he was all 'woohoo, look at us Blues.'

The remainder of the quarter however consisted of him screaming the word 'NO!!' with varying degrees of disbelief and desperation.

Top night out.

On the topic of premature celebrations, my Granddad used to tell the story of being at the 1984 Grand Final and seeing Hawthorn supporters popping champagne corks at 3quarter time. We all know how that ended.

Of course he had no need. But from the footage I've seen, there's no proof that he gouges Rischitelli's eyes. So I reckon he'll get off (undeservedly).

On the other hand, Andy Maher singing the Carlton song in the 3rd qyr just typifies the malignant culture at CFC.

Was Maher on the radio? He wasn't on the TV coverage (it was Mark Howard and Bill McDonald).

I believe so.

Sam Lane was talking about it on 774 on Sunday and how embarrassing it was. It was also mention that section of the Gabba ground infested with Blues supporters could be heard singing Lily of the Laguna in the last quarter. Beautiful.

Their unbridled arrogance remind me of the Carlton supporters I was surrounded by in the QF 2000. Derisive and disrespectful in theier slurring of MFC players (eg weak) and the Club (eg salary cheats). Oh how the wheel turned! :lol:

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol
