    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.

    Rather like Druggies v Filth ANZAC, this became “traditional” after about one or two years.

    Bruce - "it was Carlton's lowest ever 1st quarter score vs Richmond if you can believe it"

    They scored one behind. I mean Bruce there's only one other possible answer is there...

    Having a bit of an analytical look at the game...

    The Tiges really struggle to get clean ball from centre clearances.

    If they can't sort it out they're not winning a flag this year...

    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.

    Your predictions are irrelevant whether the game has started or not, who cares.

    Another Tom Scully. Runs hard but absolutely butchers it.

    Interesting to watch a couple of their kids 'dazz'

    Will be good players but nowhere near the class of Oliver.

    Walsh is struggling with the pressure of the game and will settle.

    Oliver took to it like a duck to water, plenty of time from game one...

    Tigers went into sleep mode during that quarter. Only reason why carlscum are " in it " Bump on revolt was nothing.

    I can see a fair few Tigers getting poleaxed this season. Their manic 'go forward' running leaves little room for awareness. A couple of times they've been hit solidly, it'll only takes some better timing to clean someone up.

    Love having the Blues open every season.  Such an exciting competitive team full of guns.

    Give them every Friday night too.

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

    Thanks for that Jezza

    Rance is a diving pansy. 

    Twice he had normal contact and fell over like a weak [censored]. Then the umps fell for it! 

    Blatent dives that he should be fined for but nothing will happen! Infuriating

    I'd love someone like Jack Higgins in our forward line.  Little ripper of a player.

    There is certainly room Wise, lets hope someone stands up.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
