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.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #42 Aidan Johnson

      The VFL premiership player was recruited from Werribee to alleviate Melbourne’s forward line woes and give a chop out in the ruck, but he managed only five senior matches in his first season at the club. At times, he was a dominant force at VFL level.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #44 Luker Kentfield

      An exciting young key forward, Kentfield was selected in the 2024 mid-season draft but has yet to make his AFL debut. He was sidelined by a severe bout of pneumonia over the summer, which consequently limited his pre-season. Upon his return a month into the season, he commenced in defence but ultimately impressed with his progress at Casey, particularly in the latter part of the season as a strong marking goal kicking forward.

    • AFLW REPORT: West Coast

      Melbourne’s response to last week’s heartbreak was emphatic, as the Demons delivered a statement win over West Coast at a windswept Casey Fields. All of the pre-match hype surrounded the coach’s box matchup of Mick Stinear up against his apprentice, Daisy Pearce along with the gloomy weather forecast. In the end, it was less about tactical chess and more about Melbourne’s relentless execution. With rain looming, the DeeArmy and early birds snapped up the best undercover viewing spots.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.
