This is a pathetic roll over by Carlton.

Yep. Classic Choke when pressure is applied

    Feeling much better about the game next weekend after this choke. Demoralising defeat for Carlton. Can't see us losing tbh unless we have a real mare

    Can't believe there is any sentiment for the blues here. They have had recompense coming for years. I don't care if we're not 2 games clear. I'm overjoyed that we're even 1 game clear. We'll take them on and show 'em.

    The Blues won’t be an easy assignment for us next weekend, but our last quarter fitness might be telling, given the way they fell in a hole late in today’s game.

    I watched that last quarter. Carlton's defensive pressure through its forward half was non-existent. Weitering is good but that's not going to stop opposition scores against when the midfield is so dominant.

    The Dogs' midfield is peerless in the comp and Carlton showed they could produce good football through the first 2.5 quarters, but they're not going to see 5 goals out of Betts each week, and hopefully Hibberd can cover him well next week.

    Not sure what to think. Their best is good, hopefully they bring their worst next week. We need to be switched on, our worst this year has also been poor. Our best only coming out in quarters not full games.

    Up yours carlscum. I hate you nearly as much as the filth and girlong. I don't see why people were getting hard about being 2 games clear after 8 rounds. It is what happens at the end of the year that matters. Dogs play port next. I hope the way the scum lost that match will deflate them for next week.

    results this weekend have done us no favours really

    Brisbane looks well on its way to a win and the Eagles win keeps their top 4 hopes well and truly alive.

    Probably down to six teams for the top 4 now.

    At least we have a 4 game break on the ninth and tenth teams so the 8 is starting to look safe.

    If Dogs had lost today and given they play Port next week we could have had a real mini break on them

    Assuming Brisbane wins but doesn't put on another 7+ goals to the margin, we'll finish the round having played (and beaten) 4th, 6th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 17th and 18th.

    That's a 3-0 record over the current top 8. For comparison:

    1. Dogs: 2-1
    2. Port: 1-2
    3. Geelong: 3-2
    4. Brisbane: 1-3
    5. Sydney: 3-1
    6. West Coast: 1-2
    7. Richmond: 1-4

    The top 4 race is broader than that. I don't think any of the current top 8 can be ruled out, particularly when everyone down to even St Kilda in 11th is just one win behind 4th.

    West Coast still has 8 games in Perth to come and road trips include Carlton, Adelaide and Collingwood.

    Brisbane is a bad free kick off being 6-2, doesn't leave Queensland for the next three weeks, and still has 7 games at the Gabba to come, including three of its last four.

    Sydney keeps performing against good sides.

    Richmond is Richmond. Geelong just pumped Richmond.

    It's still very even.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
