What hope do Carlton have if they are in witness protection yet Channel 7 keeps telling us where they are on Friday nights.

Can someone forward this Chart onto Channel 7 and the AFL before next years fixturing is conplete asap.

    A squared + B squred = C squared, where C squared + fairness = a 60 point win for the Dees, provided that the umpires do not interfere for the Crows' benefit at their home ground - but the temptation for them, and the AFL, is to entice as many Croweaters to the 'G as possible for the finals, and gate receipts. Good luck, MFC.

    So we are ranked second best chance for the flag, yet we may not even make the finals.

    Its really going to hurt if we miss again.  We could have done some damage in last years finals too.

    Champion data yesterday ranked dees at 86% chance to finish in top 8. In 6th place.

    I think he played half forward for Athens against Sparta ?

    And he won the Plato medal for B.O.G. in that traditional rivals match - the Peleponese Cup. Sparta's loss secured them the No. 1 draft pick (they were the carlton of the Greek Football League  then). They used it to pick up a young macedonian prospect Alexander who went on to have a great career after retirement from the game.

    Is that this Macedonian Marvel character?

    Surely Richmond can’t be that far ahead?

    Richmond being the best team in the comp means that they choose what richmond does best and then base the other teams of that.

    3aw last night. Interviewed by Dwayne Russell and Richo.

    They asked him who aside from Richmond is the best club in the league and he was quick to nominate Melbourne. He also then went onto nominate Collingwood (no mention of West Coast) but the fact that without hesitation he picked us was interesting.

    David king and that bloke from champion data, glen Luff(???) are of the same opinion. Even when we do things like sat night, the point they make, is that we are so very close, and when finally that last piece of the puzzle falls into place , we are going to be sustainably seriously hard to beat.

    who knows? But listening to their SEN podcast with what’s his name in the afternoons on SEN, on my drive home from work, has certainly helped with my MFCSS this season.

    This isn't quite right.

    He was asked "who has been the best team you've played" ?  He nominated Richmond first and then Melbourne.  As you say, he then included Collingwood.

    He finished by saying that in his opinion those three sides best footy are probably the best in the competition.

    But they're not always playing their best, are they ?

    If we play out best from now and Hibberd, Viney and maybe even Hunt come in then giddy up, 2018 has some excitement left

    Must have been the very early years because once they got going Sparta regularly spanked the Athenians unless the match was played at sea. The Spartans never could play in the wet!

    For 3 qtrs a game, fingers, knees and toes crossed we’re far enough in front for the turgid “other” qtr.

    On a serious note we’re really not far off being a very good side, just don’t think it will be this year, injuries and run home oh and Darwin.

    yeah a little linear in his approach to the game.

    Mind you when he got together with Archimedes on the wing the game really flowed. Certainly never sank in my opinion.

    A terrific little goal sneak too. The only player in that team who doesn't struggle kicking goals from an angle.

    He wears number 9 for the 2018 Dees. Or is that Spartacus?

    So many on here can't see how close we are. They are judging improvement with wins and losses alone. Yep we are in a wins and losses business but you need to look beyond that and see the changing of the guard and forget about searching for excuses such as curses, the scars of the last 53 years and whatever else occured post Jackson, Roos, Viney, Taylor and Goodwin.

    How many experts were saying the 1 and 13 Lions had improved greatly and results weren't far away, just a matter of when it happens for us now. The Cats, Hawks and Saints of the mid to late norties all went through this, I just hope we end up with silverware as opposed to the Saints near misses

    Yes we would be with the stats  Melbourne have accumulated over the year. However we are the best team for being mentally fragile.

    Spartacus was Thracian.... a complex area in today's political system akin to drafting a full forward from New Zealand

    Of course mate, but I am a skeptical one because I believe the next step in our development is playing finals. We're at that stage now and will fall behind if we don't get that experience.

    Until he got injured. Then they were screwed.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
