I was at the game when Cameron Bruce kicked 7 and we beat them by 105, forgot this sweet feeling! Total team performance we never let up

How did we win it?

Everyone contributed, enormously and we really went for the ball with a 'biff'. Melksham and Harmes never gave up. Gawn was brilliant and so was everyone else. Feel sorry for Pedo, as his game would have been a highlight today. Garlett, too. Still, we needed the percentage and we blodddy well went out and got it!

Utterly gutted we didn't win by 200. Cutting membership card up and sending to club c/- Chris from camberwell

I’m so happy I don’t have any smart arse jokes.

Can you and Nasher please upgrade the server the night before every game for the rest of the year? ?

[Hellish Inferno 992]

We are now responsible for Carlton's biggest loss at the MCG, surpassing their 108 point loss to Collingwood in 2002.

Thank Christ the website update worked overnight.

Carlton have a fan forum, don't they? ?

We’re happy you don’t have any as well.

Commentators saying Carlton are a young side that is their excuse. Unfortunately for them we were younger. No research lip flappers. Go Deeeees!

Just stopped staring at the AFL ladder for 5 minutes.

You are forgiven. I worked it out last night and expected an 8 goal win with the 4 pts - blew my percentage arithmetic away.

I’m not sure, but I’m positive this is the highest we’ve been this far in the season since we made the finals

Our best effort since 2004 when we were 2nd after Round 9

Must admit i was waiting for a ease off to come, but it didn't happen, just more goals and much more pressure. Just amazed.....????

[Cassiew 1,903]

 

cant wait to bring my demon scárf to my Carlton supporting mate next weekend. I would have had to wear his if we lost

[Stevienic23 1,183]

Bit too friendly in here for mine

[Lil_red_fire_engine 11,288]

That was a clinical dismantling. That’s what good sides do. We continued to harass and work hard and crack in for 4 quarters. We took first options.  We played like every goal should be celebrated and every goal hurts. All without a huge impact from Oliver, Viney and Hogan. Those that think football no longer has positions and you just have backs, Mids and forwards watch Fritsch play a wing and Brayshaw play a ruck rovers role. Those two and Tmacs return has completely changed our shape.

Petracca and Hogan quiet. I would drop them both. Better?

I hope every single Melbourne supporter enjoyed every minute of that today.  

That performance could not have gotten any better, and after the last decade and with what we've put up with it's so satisfying to put Carlscum to the sword.

And think about this... Hogan had just one goal.  Oliver and Viney were relatively quiet.  Hibberd was tagged out of the game.  Yet we still kicked 25 goals and made the Blues look like an Under 11 side.

Melksham was BOG for me and what a recruit he has been.  Not only did he kick 5 but he set up heaps with his sublime skills.  McDonald kicked a bag, ANB got in on the act, Brayshaw continues to get better and better while the kids like Fritsch and Spargo are doing the same.  Just a total team performance.

Special mention to Bull Smith as well - he battled manfully in the ruck and did some excellent work around the ground.

I love this bloody club and I hope you all do, too!  DEMONS!!!!

His 45 metre, inside 50 pass to TMAC who handballed it on to Hannan for a goal, was an exemplar of his decision making and execution skills... long may Brayshaw have a good clear run of injuries.

Haha thats more like it!

[Bitter but optimistic 22,289]

A win for the ages

I hate those [censored]. 

We kicked the absolute [censored] out of them

[deanox 10,045]

We have won 14 consecutive quarters. 

[Jaded No More 68,975]

For a brief moment I felt sorry for Carlton (only because I went to the game with my best friend who is a Carlton supporter)... but then I realized that nobody gave a stuff when we were garbage and I deserve this after years of suffering

What a game to go out on before I go away for 3 weeks!

I’ll give it a crack DA

I think we’re in trouble next week - surely the team has to be completely knackered after kicking 46 goals in the last two weeks.

[olisik 4,060]

Good to see we are sent to Northern Territory next week in the match of the round while Carlton enjoy another Friday night match the following week.

[Mickey 4,756]

Our biggest win since 1993. Amazing accuracy.
