Its like watching the Dees from 2008/09 they just dont look like winning.

At least he is having a go. That free kick against him in the goal square was bs. Good to see he showed some desperation.

My comment wasn't in relation to that incident, otherwise you may have been justified.

I disagree, and so does the scoreboard. For my money low scores generally reflect hard work, and poor skill execution.

Tackle count Carlton 44, MFC 22.

Nine MFC players have not laid a tackle in the first half....Hmmmmm

Moloney only 8 possessions so far....

MFC are trying to lock the game down.

Did anyone see Yarren (dont know if I spelt that right) and some one else from Carlton (I think Betts) not go hard at the contest like Davey last week? Very soft.

sure did, and [censored] myself laughing, only problem is they are getting a bit of it

I know you didnt mean that incident but I was speaking generally that he is having a go. I think the team is better with him down there as it frees up Chip.

Yes I saw it also can't remember who It was wasn't quite as bad as davey

but similar!

What I did see was McLean coming to the bench and rivers coming on ran straight

to him and said something in his ear with a smile on his face.

Well I wouldn't have a clue, I won't get a chance to watch tonight.

He said something about us not working hard enough for each other while the ball is locked in Carltons forward 50.

Would love it if the Dees came out after half time and ran over the top of the blues similar to what the hawks did to us. I know I am dreaming but whats life without dreams!

Peoples thoughts on bests and worsts at present?

Good - Frawley and Rivers have tried hard (Jones too but a lot of clangers).

Bad - our leaders have gone missing again

Wont say much else - Blue are down to two on the bench... you never know.

Apart from Greens horrid fresh airy hes been good, Chip & Riv good, when Riv kicks a goal he must be up and about, nicholson gone at it early. Judd is seriously got to be the afl best at the minute.

Tom Harley has just said on Fox (about our game plan) that the Dees are trying to get the ball back in the defensive half. He also said that NO OTHER TEAM has this type of game plan.

FFS i am sick of the same thing week in week out being said about our team. For the love of god get a new game plan/coach.

It looks like 2008/09 all over again.

Agreed with your stats RR, but I do believe the boys are working very hard. It is lack of skill and a better level of skill from the blues that is getting the better of us, but that is no refletion on effort.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
