So who is this big, in form team we’re supposed to beat?

Sydney? Nope. 

There are none, unless West Coast want to meet us down the park during the week everyone can shut the [censored] up.

Does seem a silly fixture considering Carlton lost their last game to Sydney in Rnd 23 by 81pts with Buddy kicking more goals than Carlton. Melbourne were already clearly on the up last year.

Afl are not the brightest bunch at times.

$$$ for somewhere    Visy bags?

Bolton is an absolute genius.  He has created a brand of footy that, most weeks, is able to pull down the opposition to their rubbish level.  They flood back, tackle hard and do anything to play boring, drab footy that might help them get a result.  Swans are playing right into their trap at the minute.

The more upsets the better for us. I am sick of seeing the Swans in the finals. 

My dream is seeing all of Sydney, Hawthorn, Geelong and West Coast miss the 8.

And why wouldn’t you book that in every Friday night?

Oh dont worry, if we won the flag they would say, oh yes but it was a weak season with most teams out of form....,!!

Did BT just say carlton haven’t kicked more than 100 points in the last 43 games?!?! 

Yep. While we’re getting bored scoring 300 in 2 games.

*Melbourne smash blues to half time, narrative all about blues playing poor footy and Melbourne not beating anyone of note*

*blues lead Sydney by a point at half time, narrative about how well blues are playing and Sydney are also an afl team playing tonight*

I get that the media doesn’t trust us yet and that Sydney have been a champion team for years but what I don’t get is the hypocrisy. I guess it’s just anything for a story huh?

They don't count because they were against teams worse than us.  

Honestly, it's the most absurd paradox ever.  God help us if we ever end up on top of the ladder.

Was Dale Thomas ever a good player? Struggling to remember but he's been [censored] for his whole time at Carlton.

Before his ankle injury, he was a fantastic player. I know a Collingwood board member thought he would never play again when he left, giving an indication on how screwed he was.

Such a high quality game they brains in commentary are discussing if everyone in the world has been winded...

 

Dale Thomas was a gun in 09 an 10.

Some very important umpiring decisions preventing a Blues beat-up by the looks of this

It's just been a regulation case of a crap team bringing a good one down to their level.  Carlton are awful, Sydney are starting to break the shackles.

Well we need to keep the swans % down, but what was a good 3 quarters by carlton to make it an interesting game has now blown out to a swans win and boring last quarter.

Carlton kicked 4 points in a row at the start of the quarter. Most of them were getable.

They are awful. This game plan is never going to win games. Playing kick to kick at halfback? I  still think there's been some crucial frees keeping them this close. Can see Sydney blowing them away in the last.

Nice.

To be fair if they could kick slightly better they’d be in front. Hahhahahahhaha suck it Blues!

    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

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
