Yea happy to see the blue baggers improving under Bolton who seems a good coach. 

I'll never want to ESS win another game. Worsfold coached at Eagles during a terrible drug infested culture that destroyed a number of lives. Would be preaching accountability but I wonder what accountability he takes for what occurred during his tenure. 

Dont misunderstand me, Cards, I continue to loathe the Bummers and have a similar view to you of Worsfold, but when a team picks up their coach's vision and plays well it is usually good footy to watch. Carlton's list is still 2-3 years away but the players are playing a definite type of tough footy with a sysytem to it, even if they are inconsistent game-by-game.

I don't usually get complimentary about opposition clubs... But wow, I wonder if the Blues realise they've got one in Bolton. Am super impressed by how he gets what he gets out of some out-and-out spuds. Very Bevo like.

I think GWS will win this, carlton play a style that brings you down to there level it's smart coaching by Bolton, he knows he won't win games going for a shoot out

Carlton bring you down to their level, then lose due to inexperience.

 Me barracking for Carlton is like Bruce being silent when Cyril gets the ball. Footy is changing. 

Do what I do and hope that GWS get disqualified and CFC get done for the salary cap.

carlton should be this good tho.

when cripps, kreuzer, gibbs, murphy, daisy, weitering, marchbank, plowman etc. etc are all up and about they're good - their top echelon talent is seriously talented.

and especially docherty.

GWS really botched that. So many chances to nab a draw minimum in the last minute and end up losing. Not to mention all the selfish running shots at goal.

 

Not unhappy with the result though, keeps GWS from dominating at the top.

How Nicholls is an AFL umpire is one of life's great mysteries. 

Well Ethan, I watched the last half of that game and I am now convinced I have absolutely no idea of the rules of Football.

9 goals 16. Just asking for it. So far this weekend only 4 clubs have managed to kick more goals the behinds. It's an epidemic.

Just back from Docklands .... left at 3/4 time.... lousy game end to end play and then ball up or intercept in the forward line.

Absolutely freezing at Docklands.... with the roof shut for a game that started at 3:20pm.

Not sure what to make of the Orange Men.... forwards not really positioning themselves or doing enough with the lead.

The problem you are experiencing is probably because you DO have some idea of the rules.

So they've lost both Deledio and Griffen for the season with chronic injuries.  Both their careers may be in doubt now, they arent young anymore.

GWS wont miss a beat without them.

More cap room to keep others. Stevie will retire and that is even more.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
