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.

 

Bolton .... Hmmmm

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

Thanks AFL.

Had enough and switching to the Tour de France. 

Le tour is ALWAYS option 1 except when MFC winning

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.

 

Carlscum should have kept Brett Ratten...

May they wallow in the darkness for many more decades

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
