Riley Thilthorpe looks a real player. 5 snags on debut. Very strong in the marking contest.

    And Koschitzke has 5 for the hawks.

    I hate to complain about anything when we are 6-0 but we might be the only team left soon without a young exciting key forward capable of kicking a big bag.  The way the games changing I dont want to be left behind the 8 ball.

    If people want to include Luke Jackson then ok we have one even though he hasnt kicked a bag yet.

    Looks like we’re finally going to have a game where both sides score 100 pts. 

    A throw back to the old days where this happened regularly.

    (and first time since we beat Carlton in 2019)

    Adelaide have taken 15 marks inside 50 in the first 3 quarters. They'll be doing well to take 2 marks against May, Lever and Thommo when we play them in round 10.

    That was an entertaining game in Launceston played by two pretty awful teams. How nice it is to be able to say that.

    Don't fret too much P2J, I recon Weid will turn it on at senior level at some point soon given the chance.  Still plenty of years left in Tommy Mac and BBB hopefully too for us to find a KPF when the right oppertunity arrises.

    In the mean time, I think it's still a good thing that we have been able to find multiple avenues to goal and spread the scoring around without a dominant KPF.  We are stitting on 2nd position and so must be doing something right up forward.

    BTW, I also I do like the appeal of having a KPF.  We have had so many hits and misses and potential super starrs in this area over the years.  Lyon, Bennett, Jackovich, Pike, Cuthberson, Schwartz, Neitz, Robinson?, Cook, Clarke, Hogan, T Mac.

    Collingwood's jumper possibly the worst since every single one Hawthorn have ever worn.

    Agreed. Yet we’re forced to wear the disco jumper against some teams when there is no clash. 

    I wonder what they will dream up for us this year when we play Footscray since both teams will now likely play finals as well....

    Recent equality laws introduced now mean that they can both self identify as quality teams and your words considered to be hate speech.

    The AFL's clash jumper policy is a disgraceful farce.

    We're required to wear our clash jumper in an apparent "clash" with Collingwood, but Essendon (bear in mind they are the away team today) is permitted to wear a predominantly black jumper against Collingwood's predominantly black jumper.

    It happens all the time: Carlton, Richmond and Essendon are permitted to wear their home jumpers against each other and Collingwood despite all of them clashing. 

    The rules should be transparent and all 18 clubs should be required to follow them.

    There's an epidemic of throwing in the game. Sidebottoms throw just now was blatant.

    I was really impressed with the umpiring in our Geelong game, where they must have called a record number of free kicks for throws against both sides. I had thought the AFL was onto it. Maybe not.

    The Dogs won a flag in 2016 throwing it out from tackles. Geelong's succeeded for years doing the same thing.

    Exactly. I have no problem with a clash strip. I actually like our current clash strip. The AFL needs to have a strict policy that applies to all teams.

    • 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.
