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.

    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?

    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

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
