Dusty won the game for Richmond and Oscar kept Carlton in the game.

    [censored] you Richmond.

    Why do they do the little things so well? Doesn’t even take talent. But they do them better than anyone.

    Dusty is an absolute freak though.

    Is there anything worse than a player that kicks a goal rubbing the hair of the defender. Complete lack of respect and class. 

    you have to respect your opponent

    Yes but take Dusty out of that contest and they probably lose. But that is why teams win multiple flags there is always a  great player driving the success. Barassi, Matthews, Hodge, Hird, Dusty.

    Sam is not soft. Never squibs a contest and plays the ball hard. And doesn’t crap his pants when he has a shot on goal

    Weideman is soft as [censored]. Often gets monstered by the opposition key back

    we are going to get absolutely smashed this season, call me reactionary whatever. there was not a single around the ground ball up all game, boundary throw ins sure but pure ball ups - none. and that's all we're good at...

    Well, one things is for sure.

    BT & JB along with Jobe and Hodgey were appalling.

    Fair point. If there’s less stoppages as a result of the new rules and game styles, then our strength (stoppages and contests) is taken away and our weakness (clean kicking and maintaining possession) is magnified.

    They got closer to the Tigers than we did last year.

    Yes i was thinking about that

    Goodwin has coached a different game style. 
    we need players who spread and shepherd each other!!

    Carlton played into the tigers hands and nearly won.

    Good on them but playing that way against Richmond you will lose four out of six.

    Not sure what style is required but the slow maul is pobably better.

    I noticed the importance of fast hands tonight, teams who handball the quickest will do well (bulldogs come to mind)

    Thought Carlton did the overlap handball  really well. Wonder if that is coming back into vogue.

    Harry McKay really needs to convert better. He has all the tools!

    Noted that tonight, they played a different style, fast direct footy which was great to see, made them look like a far better side than us

    Might be tougher but had zero composure and can’t convert. 

    imagine if the Weed played the 3 quarters McKay played. He’d be crucified on here 

    Haha McKay can't convert,  but yet Weideman missed a simple goal 25m dead in front against Adelaide to win us the game..

    You say it's poor list management we delisted McDonald and now you're saying Weideman is better then McKay?? You really are a Doozy..

    McKay is everything I wish Weideman was at. Weideman has done nothing since that Geelong game. That's nearly 3 years ago now..

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
