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?

    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: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
