Carlton back in now familiar territory. Rather them than us!

    The more the AFL survives the less the change 

    Carlton 2018 last

    Carlton 2019 last.

    Obviously if they win today then they will go above us so hope not.

    Can we win 2 in a row or is that still too much expectation 

    (can we defend on the big MCG, more to the point?)

    Off the bottom, now what second/third bottom -  meh, who cares.

    I only care what we have achieved at the end of the season.

    If we beat St Kilda next week, we will be in pretty much the same win/loss position as the same time last year.  The key difference will be that I think our draw from there on will get harder rather than easier, but if we can't raise our game to the point where we can consistently beat the better sides, then what's the point of making finals anyway.

    I think our fortunes from here will largely rest on how we recover injury wise.  If we can get back some of our guns like Lever, May, AVB, Hannan etc, without losing too many other quality players, our back half of the year could be pretty dam impressive.

    If it wasn't for Carlton being on the bottom of the ladder, I would have started to wonder whether along with 6-6-6 and other rule changes, the AFL had brought in some other rule or interpretation that the ladder was to be read in reverse. Who, in all honesty, would have predicted before the beginning of the season that all of Brisbane, St Kilda, Gold Coast and Fremantle would be in the top 8 at the end of round 4?

    I reckon a few umpires with new brown paper bags thought they could swing it.

    I haven't seen us do it yet and therefore expect to lose against a hard running and speedy Saints.

    It will be interesting to see the Goodwin tactics

    Off the bottom...

    Such lofty ambition. Haven't our achievements changed from the predicted !!

    I'm just all warm and fuzzy about this.

    Surely.... anything from 9 down....is just the bottom ??

    Look at us...golleeeee...the foundation club doing what we've done best..... supporting the ladder !!

    We need to be in the 8 by the midpoint of the season - therefore need to string some wins together - lose this week and it's a long way back

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
