Agreed. Very worried about this game.

Genuinely think we will drop this one. Hoping Iā€™m wrong.

    Heā€™s an average player at best, his strength is one on one contests otherwise heā€™s terrible.Ā 

    On The Couch ripped Liam Jones apart the other night. Great one on one defensively but if he refuses to adhere to the structure again this week we will walk goals in.

    Yea lol that is the one I just found. I love his story as he was just derided during g his dogs stint and he was able to turn into an ok defender with moments of brilliance.Ā

    Yep, saw him lots of times just trying to get a run at the ball and just being scragged.

    He did alright last week and he'll learn to beat those tags. He's just too goodĀ 

    If they tag Kossy too hard it mess Spargo should have a better Ā game, he might also step into Kossys taggerĀ 

    hard player hard tackler not very tall

    I like the way he plays. Both of em !

    The line with the bookies is instructive. +24.5 Carlton 1.90.

    $3.00 MFC at -38.5

    $7 for -60.5....

    $4 for -47.5

    Ā 

    Ā 

    Can you explain to me in simple terms what this means ??Ā 

    Ā I don't do ' At the line ' speakĀ

    I was there last week AF, Ā but I canā€™t see the Blues bringing 4 QTEQ of heat.

    That said, I remember 2016-2017 when we should have belted them but didnā€™t.

    If the line is MFC -38.5 paying $3 it means Melbourne has to win by at least 39 points for you to win the bet and it will pay 3-1 odds (so you win $3 for every dollar you bet)

    If Carlton is +24.5 and paying $1.90 it means for you to win your bet Carlton has to either win or lose by 24 points or less and your payout is $1.90 for every dollar you bet

    Carlton 2021 is Melbourne 2016. A good average team. We beat a 1st placed Hawthorn in 2016 deep into the season.Ā Ā 

    We have had three bruising encounters and Carlton can look quite good when they're switched on. They lack defensive awareness as a team but they're no easy beats and will be going for blood after folding against the Dogs. Lots of pressure and talk on them this week.

    I think we are much better than them but anything can happen. Tbh wouldn't be surprised if we lose this week.Ā

    My concern is from about 2004.
    Eyeing off top4 and lost toĀ them twice during the season.
    They were bottom of the ladder but we had no answer forĀ Fevola.

    We've got a mounting injury list.
    Tomlinson, Viney, Jackson out and not sure what sort of shape Petracca's in after his corky.
    But they have their concerns with Cripps and if were as good as we think we should roll 'em regardless.
    But I've never been one to go counting the chooks.
    Been following this club too long for that.

    If only I could have.
    That game and the following ones to the end of the season disgusted me at the time.
    I think in the second game rd18 or so a win against bottom side Carlton would have given us top spot and a guaranteed top4.
    Then we spudded up, lost the remainder of games, fell into the finals and got booted the 1st week.
    It was everything I hated about the club at the time.
    We were so up and down.
    It was like as soon as theyĀ did enough toĀ guaranteeĀ a finals spotĀ they got lazy and took their foot off the accelerator.

    Slight correction. I believe the year you are referring to is 2006.

    We actually rolled them at the G by 100 in our first fixture. We then played them at Princes Park with our chances to go top 4 still very much real.

    Despite them being bog ordinary and made up of also rans from other clubs, we proceeded to poo the bed and lose by 5 goals.

    Nah, you are right about the 1st 100pt win andĀ thatĀ was 2004.

    And the year I am referring to was 2006
    Both Carlton games played at telstra.
    Both loses when they were wooden spooners.
    The year we beat the Aints in the Elim.
    Again stunk it up in the latter part of the season though.

    My memory obviously muddled with all the frustration.
    There was so much of it.
    But I was at the second game late in the seasonĀ at 'Telstra' leaving disgusted.Ā

    It was round 1 2006 that I left disgusted. Carlton won 3 games for the season, 2 of them were against us! It cost us top 4.

    We also lost to them late in 2004 at Princes Park after topping the ladder in round 18 against Hawthorn. I was working that day and remember being in utter shock when I checked the scores.

    I was chatting to a couple of blues supporting mates and i think there is seriously a CFCSS situation going on. one expects them to lose by plenty, the other things they'll dominate the game, have all the running and choke in the last 10 minutes and lose.Ā 

    i said i was fine with either, but would like to win by a bit as last week was a bit hectic.Ā 

    they both can't stand teague and think the club is covering up a pretty significant injury to CrippsĀ

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.Ā

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sundayā€™s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this yearā€™s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last seasonā€™s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourneā€™s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
