Carlton a bit stiff to lose tonight but the story to me was how flat Freo look. Malthouse had it all over Lyon tonight and if it wasn't for the class of Fyfe then they were up right up the creek. Maybe the close win will kick it into gear for them but at the moment they look anything but a premiership threat.

    How good was Fyfe, ten contested possessions and a couple of goal assists in the final quarter

    it's abit unfreo like the way they're going at the moment, I really hope they can get it right and be a feature this finals series.

    Very; Ross seems to have lost his mojo at the moment.

    Fyfe an absolute Superstar. Dockers not nearly as good as last year at the moment. Problems up forward - Pav probably will be O K after the knock tonight - Mzungu loss for a bit will be a problem.

    Ballantyne held until the last quarter but another match winner. Dawson still a worry for Ross.

    As I have a soft spot for Carlton seeing as my mum barracks for them, I was glad to hear they took it right up to Freo, just couldn't close it off with a win. I didn't watch the game as I had a nap, wether Carlton were good tonight, Freo looked flat, or both, Carlton should pat themselves on the back, winning by under a goal over in Perth to a potential top 4 team. I just wish our game against Freo wasn't as crud as it was :(

    Why were Freo wearing their clash strip at a home game? I thought Carlton had an all white strip themselves.

    Home team should always wear home colours and be up to the visiting team to have an appropriate clash strip. Even if it means having more then one possible clash jumper

    They wore white as part of the tribute paid to the Maslin children, Fremantle supporters who died when MH17 was brought down.

    Wash your mouth out with petrol and then have a smoke HH.

    Alternatively, you could simply have nothing more to do with your mother.

    What we saw last night from Sydney is what I expect to see from Melbourne in 2016. Hard, unrelenting two way running and a tremendous defence. The Swans and the Hawks look light years ahead of the rest.

    I posted my awe of these two teams after watching their recent game WJ. I was particulary impressed by both teams ability to dispose of the ball under pressure.

    Sadly, however, we look more like playing that type of footy in 2026.

    Damn you BBO, I am sitting at my local cafe after a 100km bike ride having a coffee, and after reading this I laughed so hard I spat my coffee over my table. Now everyone here thinks I am bitterly twisted!

    Not a big fan of the Blues I see BBO

    Adelaide could have knocked Esendrug out of the 8 but failed hard

    Pathetic effort from the Crowbots

    Tell someone who cares hh

    I dislike the Crows with deep intensity.

    Them out of the top eight makes my day.

    You're right on the money Hulkster. In fact I I think the moderators should give you a severe sanction for showing Carlton any consideration on Demonland. It must violate the code of conduct ...surely?

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
