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.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield.
