I'll be very interested to see how the Dogs go this afternoon/evening. If they go back to pantsing the opposition and winning by 10 goals of free flowing hollywood handball, I'll think less of them than if they're challenged and can actually grind out a victory when it's not all going their way.

    Crowd at the blues v WC game is horrible. 

    thought it was in Melb for a minute!

    How nice it is too watch other teams and think, Gee these teams are rubbish.

    Watching a bit of Carlton v WC. Gee these teams are rubbish.

    Out of interest were they mixing in a bit of "canned crowd noise" on Friday night.

    The background murmuring etc just sounded fake at times.

    The scoring reactions sounded accurate.

    This game looks like it's being played in slow motion.

    Just what I was about to note 

    and no one seems to be energetic or enjoying themselves apart from Eddie Betts

    Carlton has a couple of players that are going to be coach killers imo- Paddy Dow and Zac Fisher. Maybe add Jack Martin and Zac Williams. The Zac Williams trade was insane. Please play him in the midfield when we meet again.

    I love the 3 rule changes that have opened the game up. 6-6-6 formation, 15m back from kick ins, and stationary man on the mark. General play is so much better to watch.

    But some of the basic kicking skills in many games are absolute rubbish. Freo v anyone, Pies v Crows yesterday, Eagles v Blues today. Really bad watching sub standard skills.

    Liam Ryan has made this match watchable.

    West Coast are unfit. Carlton, bad as they are, are still a chance in this game.

    I am a fan of having good commentators. Where they are doesn't really bother me.

    This game is sooooo dull. I switched over to watch a show about people with OCD. Far more interesting. 
     

    Looking forward to Freo letting me down as per usual, but will be barracking hard for them.

    The best part of the Carlton v West Coast telecast has been the ads for Four N’ Twenty Pies. 

    I could handle one right now WJ.

    This game is the old fashioned curtain raiser before the big one. The jump in quality will be like in the old days.

    Are there crowd number restrictions at SCG or is that all up there who have any interest?

    IF crowd number restrictions then why crowd those in the one spot?

    Carlton have no system.

    This is something that mystify's me as well. They were all in one area at our game on Friday night.

    Only conclusion, it is about the cost and not the risk.

    this is carlton's third rebuild since the late 90s? first malthouse top up era, then judd era, now cripps era

    reminds me of the mfc era when the watts / $cully / trengove era didn't work and we had to go back and develop again with salem / trac / brayshaw / oliver

    they should let cripps walk as a free agent and get the first round pick they [censored] away on saad back

    • 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.
