Good teams just find a way to win. 26 points up with a couple of minutes to go and our boys are still chasing opponents down. Keep accumulating those 4 points.

    I'm obviously happy we got the points, but it felt a little flat. Not even sure who our star was. Probably Tommy in the first half. And some of our smalls kicking goals when we needed, Spargo, Kosi, ANB etc. 

    Will need to lift big time against the Doggies and lions.

    Personally, I am really pleased to see the team function well - and in particularly the forwardline - in the first game of the iteration that they have presumably wanted with Brown, Tmac, Weid and Fritsch in.

    29 scoring shots - plus a couple that went wide, in wet conditions.

    Satisfying.

    Haven't seen the game but a few things I noticed were:

    1. Carlton kicked 10.8. That is the fourth consecutive week we've conceded 18 scoring shots, which we also conceded in Rounds 1 and 2. It is the highest amount of scoring shots registered against us all year (the other three games were 13, 15 and 14).
    2. The fourth quarter was level. Whilst we didn't win it, we obviously also didn't lose it, meaning we've still only lost one fourth quarter all season.
    3. An interesting flip in clearances: this week we were +1 in centre clearances but -16 in stoppage clearances.

    The game was without commentary on TV. All i heard was barracking (for CFC) by BT and Brayshaw.

    NVM, we stuck it up 'em in the end.

     

    Go Dees!

    • Hunt best game for a while
    • Spargo best game for year?
    • Petty looked more assured 
    • Brayshaw better but still a bit wasteful 
    • River's continues to fly under radar 
    • Chandler not ready but wouldn't mind seeing him play at least another game

    Im sure we will soon. I dont think we are playing our best with the same slow starts.

    Full credit to us though we got another raw deal from unprofessional umpires but like every other match we just kept pushing and pushing.

    Our fwd structure was off today as was our midfield in the first half.

    We will sort it out and find our best form at the best time.

    Max seems tired as does Trac but you cant keep champions down.

    Full credit to Langdon again. Just always playing his absolute best and never kwts us down.

    Spargo growing in confidence.

    Olivers fitness is fantastic.

    Where woyld we be without Tmac...five and four if lucky.

    He is as good as he ever was.

    Well done Trac for helping wash all that stuff out of Chandler’s eyes. Poor bugger really copped a proper Gatorade (and Milk????) shower.

    He is horrible! Worst commentating of a game ever. Also when will the commentators start actually talking us up. Just because we are not Richmond they always have to criticise and just sound down about us!

    Decent win. Did what we had to do. 

    Defence is solid and dependable. Not sure about all the talls up forward. Pressure game was off. Clearance work so so. Skills weren’t great but it was tough to hold onto the ball in the conditions.

    TMac excellent first half. Salem was probably best for us overall. Lever and May very good. Oliver did some good things. Most players contributed.

    Trac trying too hard. Just needs to forget about the contract and do the simple things well.

    The Weid did ok for his first game. Chandler offered little and will struggle to hold his spot.

    I liked the fact that Kozzie showed some sportsmanship. He should be applauded for that.

    They say the hallmark of a good team is to win playing badly. So shouldn’t really complain too much. But it would be great to see us hit out stride and play well for 4 quarters.

    We bank the 4 points and move on.

    Go Dees.

    9 from 9 but we need to lift. It must be difficult hating life.

    Good win without really getting out of 3rd gear. Jimmy Jordon had a great game for me. Bit wasteful in front of goals, else the margin probably would have been 8-10 goals. 
     

    Seemed like Carlton were the only team on the park where the holding the man rule applied

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
