I live in an area that has a relatively high concentration of Carlton supporters. So much so that there's a traffic jam in the street outside packed with carloads of Blues fans arriving home early from the G.

This is what other supporters must have felt when watching Melbourne with so many dud players and very little prospects for the future.

Abject boredom with some mild relief that it's not them?

Cant wait to play the scum !!! :)

I reckon Gibbs is worth a first round pick to a good side, but the blues need to be aggressive at the trade table and get some decent young talent in

Not based tonight's game he's not. Long way off his best.

Micks got the record now it's time to go, clearly not working.

And Seven have 4 more of these shitfest Carlton Friday night matches to look forward to!

Meanwhile, talented young lists like Melbourne, GWS and the Bulldogs have none. Some fantastic forward planning there by the geniuses at Channel 7.

The Malthouse chosen game a is boring life's affair. The Blues are a steaming, stinky rubbish tip on fire. Well done Mick.

Bring the Dees back to Friday nights!!!

Cameron Ling doesn't know the rules of the game either, you are not allowed to be bumped of the ball is not within 5m Cam.

Good call 'Cards', was saying exactly the same thing to a mate...but it's not just Ling it's the other commentators who agreed and the umps who are not paying it.

Yeah, ain't it great?

I wouldn't mind poaching Cripps from them.

Beat me to it 'Fester'...probably the only one of their players worth poaching at the moment. Looks like he will be a beauty.

Carlton making Collingwood look better than they are.

Yep, they've got Geelong, Richmond, GC, North then us. North will give them a physical game if nothing else then they ours for the taking. Viney and Jetta will be back and barring no further injuries were a massive chance.

You know what.. for all the [censored] Jack Watts cops for being soft how Bryce Gibbs gets under the rader mind boggling.

True but when Geelong beat Richmond the focus will turn.

I've been saying for a while that Collingwood will be good. Unlike a lot of teams, they got rid of their good players while they still had some value (as much as it has hurt them in recent years).

They have a lot of good kids, plus a few who haven't played. The win over the Bombers took most by surprise but wins over Saints/lions/Carlton aren't an accurate gauge. Next week interesting vs Geelong. A team on the way up v one on the way down.

Agree entirely.

I've been rambling on about this ever since the fixture came out but Carlton wasn't even any good last year, they should never have gotten close to 6 Friday nights (+ a Thursday night). It's indefensible that the football public has to be repeatedly subjected to watching boring Friday night beltings (the remaining games include Carlton away to Sydney and a Hawthorn v Carlton game - those are going to be enormous thrashings).

It only adds insult to injury that Melbourne, the Bulldogs and GWS have improved to the point where games involving them would be competitive, maybe even exciting, and definitely a lot closer than Carlton v Sydney/Hawthorn.

Nobody panic about Friday night Carlton withdrawals in the next fortnight after Collingwood v Geelong next week, as normal service resumes the week after with Carlton v Geelong on Friday. And guess what follows that? Sydney v... Carlton. Don't worry though, Carlton is back on Friday nights in Round 17 against... Hawthorn.

FMD I'm glad this fixturing completely blew up in Seven's face after completely screwing us and the Bulldogs over. Something like 7 Friday night games each for Richmond, Carlton and Collingwood, of which only one team is any good. So much for needing to "earn" Friday nights!

Can't believe the Pies picked up Grundy at pick 18! He will be the best ruck man in the comp b the end of next year, if not this year. We haven't had a good ruck men since Jeff White (no offence to Jamar I like his effort but he isn't in the same league).

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
