Hardest team to play against?

Today Carlton had 110 more possessions yet somehow also had 30 more tackles. 30.


Before today we averaged 94 less disposals and 4 less tackles per game.

No question the effort lifted for a little while today, but why is our defence so bad when we've brought in an apparently defensive minded coach?

Never been so frustrated with the club I love. If 186 was the players telling us something, what has this year been so far?

    Stuie, I like your contributions but I reckon this is a [censored] poor argument

    Firsty, Neeld clearly says he wants to coach - at no stage is it give it would happen straight away.

    Second, your personal expectations of the ability of the team are far off

    Thirdly, how can you match possession counts when you dont win the ball and te players continually bomb it?

    Why our team mates dot use open players really worries and annoys me. Not sure if aneeosnis to blame as I don't know the instructions, but back to point it's not Neelds fault

    These threads trying to blindly lay blame [censored] me off... If you couldnt tell haha

    It's not but in an elite sports industry if we don't see results someone's head has to roll and unfortunately it's just about always the head coach.

    I have never seen a team beaten so comprehensively in marking contests - absolutely rubbish

    this is apart from the appalling skills and decision making

    a better team would have beat us by more than 100 points

    i really don't think i can watch this anymore

    We are the hardest to play against.

    Opposition coaches must find it hard to make their players stick to their structures when they are rolling over us with such ease.

    Carlton may not have had Kruezer today but they resemble one at the MCG.

    We really were pitiful against a Club which showed as much intensity as country BBQ jolly match in February.

    Bruise free football is alive and well at MFC.

    We're certainly the hardest team to watch and the hardest team to follow passionately.

    Absolutely

    Listened to some of the game on radio, seems we made a lot of errors by foot, still I look forward to a forward line of clark, Hogan and dawes and a hopefully revamped midfield for 2014

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
