Jones? Green?

Good?!

What have you been smoking?

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

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
