POSTGAME: Rd16 vs Carlton

We led all day, except for two minutes, which was due to having no bench and some dodgy  umpiring when the umpires seem to become stimulated by the Blues surge, we had  more shots, clearly deserved to pull the game out of the fire,

    We had the rub of the green most of the day from the umpires. They evened it up at the end but we can’t use umpiring as a reason we almost lost

    Seems some on here would like us to go 0-22 every year.

    We won. Beats losing every time. By a mile.

    Was there really 55.5k in attendance? It was loud on the telly, how was it at the ground?

    I was at the game - we completely dominated Carlton for 3 quarters. By half time, the game should have been over - instead, our inaccurate kicking and inability to stop them scoring immediately after our goals, kept them in it. In the end, it was a relief to get over the line, but we deserved the win.

    I wasn’t aware that we were 3 rotations down in the last - only knew that TMac hadn’t returned - but some of our boys looked cooked, which would have helped Carlton’s momentum.

    Our forward line without TMac tried hard, but really missed some grunt - Weid doesn’t seem close to dominating yet. It’ll be interesting to see if they keep Preuss in with Gawn as a resting forward: he did some good stuff today.

    I noticed that we are starting to spread the ball much more now - maybe a change to the game plan? 

    Otherwise, some great stuff, some terrible stuff: story of our season, really. Still - deserved the 4 points, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

    It was a good crowd - loud especially in the last quarter, when Carlton came back into it. That horrible feeling and noise when the opposition is coming back on top of you!

    It that figure is correct ( who would doubt the honesty of the AFL) I reckon it was 50k Carlton and 5.5 MFC.

    Yes, and when the going got tough you left me to fend off 15 Carlton supporters, mostly bald headed flogs

    I love winning, and I'm happy we won. So long as the euphoric feeling of beating the 2nd last team in the league (going through their latest rebuild) doesn't detract from the fact that the nature of today's win is reflective of the trouble we're in, and the questions that we need to ask. I appreciate that we're a few players down right now (as were they), but we bulldozed them last year, and squeaked through today.

    But absolutely, I'll take the four points as long as we don't feel this was any significant step forward, as it wasn't. We have a long way to go.

    Pretty much doing what every team has been doing since round 6.

    Is Clayton Oliver the worst umpired footballer in the history of the game?

    First it was calling his lightning handballs throws, and now he's held at every contest, rarely wins a free kick. I dare say he doesn't have much chance of ever winning a Brownlow.

    Yep and the reason why is that every single umpire sees him as their alter ego. Gives a bit of cheek, but ah no can"t give this bloke a free coz he's too Blue collar with an aura of Brilliance . Unlike myself!! That's why I never played footy and became......... An umpire!

    Nuf Said!

    Big loud crowd. Definitely more Carlton supporters who have a distinct lack of understanding the rules. At quarter time I moved to a more civilized area where I wasn't getting my seat kicked or having my hearing damaged.

    Interestingly I was on the aisle and did not see any security whatsoever.

    • 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.
