Haven’t been able to watch the match unfortunately.  Have the commentators mentioned if Charlie Curnow might be out there playing..?

TPF39 - nothing at all unfortunate about  being unable to watch this garbage.  

Consider yourself vary lucky indeed.

    As much as we complain about Melbourne's lack of improvement or whatever, I still don't reckon we've lost to a fully shite side this year. Saints aren't the rabble they were earlier in the year.

    Melbourne (Mark Neeld era) vs Carlton now - who wins??

    Carlton by a country mile. You forgot how bad we were. We were blind under 8s playing barefoot bad.

    Plus we never had Cripps or Curnew

    Yep....for some reason, ND would never give him a game

    What I saw of him in the few games I thought he looked the goods, especially when we started to slide and lost chunks of our backline.  Funny how certain players stay on the list for ages but never really get opportunities with certain coaches.

    Take a moment to appreciate how bad Carlton are.  It is wonderful.

    There's really only 2 possible answers for the Blues.

    Merge with the Hawks, or merge with Norf and [censored] off to the Mapa Isle

    Here's a suggestion for Carlton. Melt down the 16 premierships. Ship the team off to the north east and they can merge with Tangambalanga. The supporters can go west, go east , go anywhere they bloody well like, just go. And that flgg  that leaned over the fence to abuse Clarry should be put in stocks in Bourke St and kicked by every passer by.

    I think the Blues have enough to work with, Curnow x 2, Dow, Cripps, McKay, Fisher, Petrevski-Seton combined with Simpson and Murphy. Their issue I think is Bolton. I’m not sure he demands the respect needed and every time he talks is just a laughing stock. I just think they need  an experienced coach now they’ve got some talent. I’d sack Bolton ASAP.

    The game was a horrid spectacle, how we lost to STK I don’t know either, must’ve just had a day out.

    Carlton mate showed me a stat this morning. 

    Marchbank: Metres gained - Minus 13. Is that even possible for a full game?

    In my first ever game of under 12s,  I only got one kick. 

    It slewed off the side of my boot and through for a point to the opposition.

    hm, i'm more circumspect than you about them

    although in fairness last night they did have 12 players with under 50 games under their belt, and another 3 in the 51-99 mark

    but how many of them are much chop?

    the younger curnow and cripps are stars, but ed curnow is about to turn 29 - he's not part of their long term future, and nor is simpson (34), murphy (31), thomas (31), rowe (31), kreuzer (29), wright (28.5), casboult (28), or even really liam jones (27)

    their list is in a bad, bad way

    it's glorious :)

    I tend to agree Bolton has that mark neeld feel about him, I would be chasing a Roos type coach to right the ship before it sinks

    I got one up on you. In my 150th game of junior footy, i was playing full back on the league's leading goal kicker. Kept him scoreless initially, but didn't get a disposal myself.

    Anyway, 3rd quarter, kicking in from a behind (the first time I'd touched the ball all day). Kicked it straight into him, he grabbed the ball and snapped a goal.

    My stats for the day:

    1 clanger

    0 disposals

    After 150 games, can you still be a junior??

    At half time, King and Zaharakis pointed out a couple of occasions where Carlton players would turn looking for a handball to a runner that wasn't there, and since then I can't stop seeing it happen to them.  They always look like they've got one less player at the contests than they were expecting or something.  At least these days when we've got the ball, you'd back us in to keep it move it forward.  I'd have a heart attack every time I saw a hot ball if I barracked for this lot.

    Let's face it, we've been there/done that for many years. My default position is heart attack when pressure is on.

    A few weeks ago Roos was on Triple M talking about how AFL has got its coaching structures all wrong, and that clubs should be far more focussed on deeply experienced coaches. He cited NCAA basketball coaches etc who were winning titles in their 60s, 70s and even 80s.

    At the time I thought it was a really odd thing for him to be so passionate about, given he had overseen the exact opposite with us. However, coaches like Bolton etc haven't got a hope in hell of lifting a crap team off the bottom. They need an Eade, or Malthouse type, despite their obvious limitations.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
