It was pretty awesome watching Lewis kick a goal after the siren after being booed all game following the round 2 fiasco. Blues supporters were burning.

We'll win by 80+ imo.

I’m building some serious bloodlust for this game. We should maul them. Can’t wait.

Only thing that would please me more than another win by the same margin again would be proving their medicos to be the liars that they are.

Looking at our team above we really did have a makeshift midfield against them that day. Some big names missing.

Hey @Demonland - recently your centre-line has been represented by an amused emoticon for some reason. At first I thought it was me, but I think now it's you.

It's actually the forum software that changes the C and the : into an amusing ?

Looking like an almost perfect day for Footy next Sunday

16 degrees maximum with light winds and 0.4mm of rain (30-40% chance).

Strangely similar to that day against the Hawks recently....... (oh Hell !)

Great point.  We had only 1 A grader in the midfield in Oliver.  They had Cripps, Murphy, Gibbs, Curnow,...

Different story this week.

Oliver, Jones, Viney, Tyson, Harmes (building into this role), Gawn (back to best c.f. last year),

Salem also missed that day. I found that game one of the most nerve-racking last season for some reason. 

That was the “ What a ball from Neville Jetta” game.

I am worried about this week. We should win but it will be tight.

Hope Oliver plays H2H on Cripps.

I remember thinking despite Carlton being an average side it was one of our best wins of the year because we were absolutely smashed with injury for that match

Too right! Cripps needs a lesson in execution.

Melbourne Football Club

Sun., 2 Apr. 2017 Round 2·MCG Final Melbourne 86   Carlton 64

Sun., 9 Jul. 2017 Round 16·Etihad Stadium Final Carlton 82   Melbourne 90

All times are in Eastern Australia Time

This is a distinct danger game. We should win, and win well, but Carlton will put in for four quarters. Will we?

My favourite moment from last year.  Carlton had players out everywhere.  If we lost that contest we lost the game.  Just the speed he gets back to his feet and sprints to the right spot.  I could watch it all day.
