Who gave Carlton a Friday night game? what a disgrace....

...not only that they've made a mockery of it by resting players.

    What's with this protected area rule.  At the start of the game PA marked and another PA player ran across the mark almost at right angles leaving a Carlton player marooned on the other side. The umpire told the Carlton player not to follow.  Admittedly he as far behind, but how far behind do you have to be to be stopped?

    How were Maclure and Eddie complaining about the white Carlton jumpers pre-game? They said that Carlton shouldn't have to change jumpers and that the home side Port, given Carlton's 150 year history, should have to wear an alternate strip. The sheer arrogance gives me the absolute shits. Melbourne is the original club and we don't crap on about all this rubbish. Collingwood have been irrelevant ever since Malthouse's last season and Carlton have been a basketcase for years now. These clubs should realise no one gives a [censored] about what they did years ago. They're bog ordinary nowadays.

    The Port 'faithful' are out in force... looks like a very good crowd considering the city of Adelaide loyalties.

    Bruce's talking up of Carlton is embarrassing .... the game is a mismatch

    Gee, Wines is still an ordinary, ordinary kick.

    This was a perfect opportunity for ch7 to bring forward Monday nights episode of MKR.

    In all fairness it's Ports home game so they have been given the fixture. Tomorrow night on 7 is Freo v nth. Another great game. 

    But what has happened to the Toump? He must have some talent or is he another Cale Morton #4 pick that shouldn't have been. Or because he was at our club during a horrible period did we drag any confidence out of him and just made it a bad time for him.

    Port are looking pretty ordinary. Should be much further in front.

    Blues would be a more attractive option in the futures market. Quite like their kids.

    Aside from Cripps they've got no young midfielders coming through. Their spine is okay, but they're in a bit of trouble. I still think Carlton are exactly the type of club to go out and try and get Clarkson, thinking he'll just win them multiple flags. They have a bigger messiah complex than us.

    I tipped the margin of 52 points for tonight. I think I'm gonna be well short.

    Going by the current score, I reckon they'll win by 60+. They just have to be more efficient with the ball and as the young blues tire, they'll run all over them. Port are a bunch of down hill skiers.

    When they spanked Sydney in Rd 1 it looked promising. Now that Sydney are 0-4 not so much...

    Downhill skiers is a bit of an early call but they still have the players imo.

    Their spine looks pretty good, do need another talented key forward to develop . And yep they need more centre square mids to assist Cripps. You'd think they'll have early pics in the next few drafts to add those types.

    They have form. Not much of their team has changed since it was true, so I'm happy to stick by that call.

    But they have SOS recruiting. They've got no hope. He's useless.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
