    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.

    Both Curnows out.

    Karma for violently attacking those poor umpires.

    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

    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.”

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW REPORT: Geelong

      Melbourne wrapped up the AFLW home and away season with a hard-fought 14-point win over Geelong at Kardinia Park. The result secured second place on the ladder with a 9–3 record and a home qualifying final against the Brisbane Lions next week.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
