How many years in a row has this happened, too?  When do the AFL stop gifting Carlton this game and actually give it to a team who could make it competitive?  

I know I'm going early as the Blues might make a come... nah, who am I kidding.

It’s Pathetic 

imagine if we had game 1 yearly during our dark days. 

Carlscum are gifted

    Richmond vs Carlton -  Game has started so my predictions are irrelevant.

    Collingwood vs Geelong - Pies by 27

    Adelaide vs Hawthorn -  Crows by 20

    Western Bulldogs  vs  Sydney  -   Swans by 15

    Brisbane vs West Coast - Coasters by 24 (But i really want Brissy to win, they should be quite good this year)

    St Kilda vs Gold Coast  -  Saints by 1

    GWS  vs  Essendon  -  Giants by 36

    Fremantle vs  North  -  Norf by 12

    As long as we win, the other results won't matter to me one bit tbh. Much as i suspect every other AFL supporter thinks.

    Look on the bright side... it could stop the Carlton membership run and give us a chance of getting somewhere near them.

    32-1 almost quarter time... another yawn fest

    Carlton should be banished to the 3:40 Sunday slot every week until they become an AFL club. What an anticlimactic start to the season

    Carlton before this game - "We will score more this year!"

    Carlton at the end of the first term of the first game of the year - Goalless.

    Don't change, Blues.

    They do it every year.  Hell, the Herald Sun spent weeks churning out article after article trying to talk them up.  I have no idea why they do it as everyone knows their team is pathetic.

    Carlton have absolutely no idea what to do with or without the ball.  The number of times a player looked surprised when the ball was coming in their direction was staggering.

    Poorly prepared, poorly coached and have definitely been reading their own press over the pre-season.

    You do recall Carlton were 6 goals up last year in the second quarter and Richmond only ran over them in the 4th

    And whilst we love our club many were saying similar about us getting QB for many years

    Wow the Blues have major fumbles and nerves. Curnow rubbish so far

    Curnow has to be one of the most over-hyped/rated players going around at the moment.

    Curnow will be another Jesaulenko in time and Carlton will be more than competitive including finals in 3/4 years.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.
