    Green had his best game (bar Adelaide where it took Matty Bate to judge a bad game) this season.

    Jones pushed at every contest. Yes, he got smothered a coupla times, but he was always the first to pop up with the pill.

    The Good

    Mmm

    The 1st half

    Carlton,s injuries

    Hard fought contest early

    Some sad looks on a few Carton sorry Carlton supporters faces

    Sylvia and Watts

    Thinking we had half a chance

    The Bad

    No forward line

    Kicking straight to the opposition

    Not starting to play till the ball is in the back 50

    The second half

    2 many easy goals given away

    Umpires who don't know what happened telling goal umpires what happened

    Lack of tackling in the forward 50 (or none)

    The Ugly

    Russell Robinson trying to be a rock star

    Jim Stynes trying to keep time and sing (love ya Jim but..)

    Losing by 47 points in a low scoring game

    Carlton down to 1.5 on the bench and the scoreline differential increasing

    Carlton

    The Good

    Most of the team had a crack

    Sylvia. His crash and bash was outstanding. Loved it also when he ran with Garlett the length of the wing and troubled him just enough to make him score only a point.

    Jones

    Our defensive game in the first half

    Jetta got into the game a bit

    We would have lost by 15 goals if not for Rivers being 3rd man up all night.

    The Bad

    Umpires - for both Blues and Dees. How about the soft 50m penalty to Watts. Ridiculous.

    Clearances - we were absolutely smashed

    Warnock's dropped marks, out-on-the-fulls, indecisiveness

    Frawley's fumbling

    Kicking into the forward 50

    The Ugly

    Morton (again)

    Petterd (again)

    Game plan set up to defend rather than win.

    Missed free kick to Jordie when he had his head caved in by 2-3 Blues boys right in front of the umpire but - play on!

    Coming back on after half time we did not cheer our boys back onto the ground - Carlton did. Bad form from us. My three kids and I did and it stood out like dogs b..ls.

    The game was dead boring.

    Certainly not a game you would show to someone that has not seen the game before. Would turn them off quickly.

    Took a mate from Nth Qld for his 1st game.....he left at half time. Atrocious game to watch, I`m sure plenty switched off the tv at home before half time too.

    Gee we have had some poor Fri nite matches in the last 5 yrs, not a great promotion for our club on prime time

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.
