    yep....like newspapers the club is slowly dying OD.

    We're there to make up the numbers these days.

    Going to be hard times for a few clubs post 2021 and the power clubs will show their teeth. Kennett has already had a go.

    They had 4 a piece in the first quarter and were actually playing fast attacking football.

    So is it safe to assume the norm has returned?

    Carlton appear well Coached. Whether they win or lose today, they are playing well and continually finding loose men up forward. They appear to know exactly what they are doing and  are an improved side.

    Hard to say this but Carlton have gone right past us as a football team since we towelled them up in the first quarter of round 2.

    Smart recruiting and a coach that plays players to their strengths.

    They've sped right right past us alright.

    That was silly/selfish of Dixon.

    Rushed his set shot because he was concerned about the ump sending him off for the blood rule.

    Like the Geelong vs Carlton game.
    Port should be up by 20.

    Port after the siren.

    That was a cracking port/blues game.  Port lucky not to lose it in those last 3 points from dead in front, gray saved them.

    Fun Fact. Essendon have four wins.  Three of them are against; Kangaroos (17th)  Swans (16th) and Freo (14th) and next week they play Adelaide (18th).

    Meanwhile, Hawthorn, at 13th, is the lowest ranked team we've played against and next week we have Brisbane.

    Our destinies are somewhat woven together because of the missed game, but it should be fun watching Essendon slide as the season goes ahead while we have a whole bunch of difficult teams we wont need to see again until finals.

    Definitely looking forward the re-match, too.

    If we're any good (today will tell us a bit about that), then I agree with you.

    We'll still have games this year vs Adelaide, North, Sydney and Fremantle.

    I hate the phrase "gone past us".

    Interestingly, if we win today, we'll have as many wins as Carlton, with a game in hand, and if we win by roughly 46 points, we'll pass Carlton on the ladder (with that game in hand).

    Yes, we could also lose and stay in the bottom 4, but the idea that Carlton has "gone right past us" is a bit silly IMO.

    • 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.
