It's a battle of the midfields, if Carlton win the midfield battle it'll be a tight game if we win it'll get ugly very quickly. 

I suspect we will see a burst of goals from us at some stage

    Does Carlton have a midfield ? 

    They have some names for sure. Not much cohesion or clout though.

    Boos might as well stay home and rest.

    Their midfield tore us apart last time if I recall correctly. Gibbs and Cripps did the job. Murphy played well against the Tigers last week also.

    we should have a lot more depth but we know what happens when we think we have it in the bag.

    Bit like the Saint had the wood on us. That was then..this is now.

    The Saints DO have  a midfield.... got clobbered last week I seem to recall.  Our form last year was a rollerc oaster

    The matchup in the JLT is actually more a predictor Id suggest

    Gawn to get leather poisoning on his right hand. Oliver and Jones to get RSI receiving the taps. Hogan to kick 6, Watts and Jeffy 3 each.

    Yes... but you can forgive people for being a tad skeptical until we see them back it up each week. Haven't done it for a decade or so.

    I am optimistic, but it is a long season. We were good last week, but Saints were not at their best. We can still improve. We should [censored] Carlton.

    I think that's the thing, all indications are we should win and win easily. Last year against Essendon all indications were that we should win and win easily. 

    Losses like that are burnt into our supporters brains, that won't change for quite a while. I will say this though, there was something different about the team last week. Once we got in front we just looked comfortable, like whatever the saints sent at us we'd just shrug our shoulders and get on with it. The win last year against GWS was arguably very lucky, there was nothing lucky about our win against the saints. We were good, and we didn't allow them to be good.

    Kreuzer - is a donkey, well diplomatically 'serviceable' who'll have 3 better than good games per season... Max however is echelons above him and is quite frankly disrespectful to Max to even consider the two in the same breath...

    I might be in the minority here Pates, but I didn't really feel that way last year.  I tried to talk myself into it, and probably looking back on my post history for that round would suggest I was confident, but I was trying to convince myself more than anything.  Our win over GWS was great, but we didn't exactly play well, and I knew the Bombers would be up and about.  That proved to be correct.

    This week feels different, which is what you have alluded to above.  We played ripping footy and we have a pretty fit list to choose from as well.  We are cleaner, slicker and have that killer instinct that I don't feel we had last year.  I'm far more confident going in to this week than I was at this time last year.

    Difference this year and say the Ess game was we all thought it wasca lay down misere. Funnily enough we started game late. Carlton..again...had it won before the game, forgot to turn up.

    F fwd to now. We're pretty switched on. Players on notice its all 100% or go home.

    Got this by 10 goals.

    Back on topic. I essentially agree.

    The great Blue marvel is in reality an agile plodder who has an occasional day out.

    Max is the leagues new benchmark.

    We will win and win easily, but it won't just be Big Max and the midfield that will do the job for us it will be like last week, a full team effort.

    This is a different Melbourne and one I haven't seen for many years, they have self belief and ability, together with a game plan equipped to handle the current day's style of play. We handled them in the JLT and they had most of their top players in at the time, so I can'r see any reason why we shouldn't do the job again.

    What happened last year and previous years has nothing to do with what will happen from here on in, we are a different club and it will take a god side to beat us, Carlton aren't a good side.

    Coz of so much pain, Jimbo. So much pain.

    I think if we bring our A game we will smash them. But, like you, I worry we'll bring our C game.

    What is it? MFCSS or something like that?

    This is the kind of thread that supporters reference to mock overly confident fans after their club gets an upset win over them. (see BomberBlitz round 10 2012).

    Hello in advance to BlueZone (or whatever their community forum is called).

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
