    Yeah all over Sen etc that the other Curnow is now out. 

    ....and the bookies have caught on too. We’re into as little as $1.13 with the line blowing out to -40.5.

    The lawyers wouldn’t agree with you that the fees were wasted.

    And so, I advise. That will cost 1,000 Guineas for my time, thank you.

    I was going to ask the exchange rate between guineas and dubloons actually.

    Many are expecting TMac to relief ruck. 

    But Carlton’s relief ruck is McKay. 3 hit outs last week (McKernan, a perennial spud, got 8).

    So why can’t Smith relief ruck? He’s done it before. And it keeps the forward set up the same as the last three weeks, with Smith playing Weid’s role. 

    As for Tyson being dropped, a good call both for structure and to tell Tyson to work on his disposals. 

    Given the importance of a fit Tom and coming back from injury, it is fair to assume Smith has been brought in for the Weid role. 3rd key tall and relief ruck. He actually has a bit more skill around the contest too.

    Percentage.

    Indeed.

    Another 10+ goal win will put us at the pointy end.

    How sad for Carlscum ... it would almost break your heart. He'd heard that Viney was after him, obviously.

    Just put a heavy tag on Simpson. If he doesn’t get to run free and set them up from the backline, they will find our forward press very hard to negotiate.

    4 x 4 goal better quarters should be the aim. 

    Liked what Jack said about every goal against “hurts” and every goal kicked “ is celebrated” after last years near miss of finals (2 goals).

    love to see us belt them.

    Hard to see how Carlton are going to kick a score especially now, this is a team that haven’t kicked 100 points in 2 years. We’ve done it 5 times this season alone.

    Basically identical.  

    I expect a comfortable victory.  I'm also expecting to hear on the replay "this young Carlton team" with no mention of Melbourne's makeup.

    Average Attributes
      Carlton Attribute Melbourne  
    187.0cm Height 187.4cm
    84.9kg Weight 88.7kg
    24yr 11mth Age 24yr 10mth
    87.7 Games 87.9
     
     
    Total Players By Games
      Carlton Games Melbourne  
    9 Less than 50 9
    7 50 to 99 6
    2 100 to 149 4
    4 150 or more 3

    Interesting that despite having the same average height, age and experience, we are on average 4kgs heavier.... Got some much more solid bodies which will bode well inside.

    Loved Titus in the R9 preview:

    ”Nail this one, and they are on their way to playing finals. I checked, and there is nothing legally stopping them from participating in finals, it just feels like that.”

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
