This game was awful. 
West Coast are just cruising into the top 8 on the back of playing at Boo Stadium. Will bother absolutely nobody at the MCG. Can’t stand this club.

    Their gone tu, all over for 2021 they are just making up the numbers.

    They've only got two top 8 sides left for the year, so their only shot really is to win all of the other 8 games (GWS (away), Adelaide, Fremantle (away), Collingwood, North Melbourne, St Kilda, Gold Coast, GWS again).

    It's not going to happen.

    You can't "honourably lose" eight times in the first half of the year and expect to make finals.

    They have no excuse with their list profile, either. Disastrous.

    You have to give them credit for winning that game with the quality of players they had out, on a ground they hadn't won at for 20 years.

    We'll see how they go next week vs Richmond at home though. Will be a significantly sterner test than Carlton.

    Carlton have several injuries too. 
    Credit sure but god they are so dull. Offensive jumper. Offensive song. Offensive supporters. 

    As soon as McKay was subbed out it was game over. Carlton was up to their neck in it until that point. 
    Adjusting your forwardline mid game is very hard. Especially when your key forward goes down.

    I don’t mind the Blues! Rather them win than WCE.

    Carlton's current injury list features: Cuningham, C Curnow, Durdin, Gibbons, Marchbank, OMac, McGovern, Philp and Plowman (suspended). Of those there are about three best 22 players: C Curnow, Marchbank and Plowman.

    West Coast's current injury list: Allen, Cameron, Duggan, Kelly, Kennedy, McGovern, Shuey, Venables, Winder, Witherden. That's 7 best 22 players and at least 5 of them are better than the three missing Carlton players.

    The talent missing from West Coast's side is incomparable to that missing from Carlton's. If it were Melbourne not Carlton, this board would be disgusted.

    Umpire 22 is still the worst umpire in the game. Just hopeless. 
     

    Freo applying nice pressure.

    I take nothing away from their injury list. And Carlton are very ordinary. But I see nothing in West Coast that worries me.

    Now that's a different topic.

    Right now I'd like our chances against West Coast, although it's still 9 weeks until we play them, and almost all their injured players will be back by then, on current estimates.

    Still, their ball movement is the sort that we can defend well, slower and more methodical.

    Yeah they are not a quick team or a young team. They can afford to move the  ball slowly because their tall towards are so good in the air. 
     

    Freo is so infuriating. They do a lot right and their pressure is excellent. But their ball use going inside 50 is trash. 
     

    Brayshaw is their best player along with Mundy. No idea what is up with Fyfe. Done nothing.

    Freo are a red hot chance here. Just need to apply some more scoreboard pressure and the crowd might get them home

    West Coast have underperformed significantly this year, but they still have one of the most talented lists in the league. If their injury issues ease up I could see them building back some consistency and confidence.

    Yeah the guy with the blonde hair. 
     

    Freo’s kicking inside 50 kills my soul. 
    Every time they go forward I’m screaming at them to be better. It’s sadly not working

    Carlton ... Schadenfreude

    Well the difference in this game is Dogs have a handful of absolute stars like Bont. And Freo can’t do anything forward of the Centre. So yeah.

    Watching this is giving me PTSD of we needed Freo to beat the Dogs to make the 8 last year

    If Freo butchered the ball 50% less going inside 50 they would be in the 8 easily.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
