It would be an absolute disaster to have Weitering and McKay at either end and not build a competitive side around them.Many teams would dream of that pair!

Seems like it might be a tail wagging the dog situation down there, similar to Collingwood at the moment

    Well, it's more than just McKay and Weitering.

    It's McKay and Curnow down one end. Elite.

    And it's Weitering and Marchbank down the other.

    Two of the three starting mids are A grade in Cripps and Walsh.

    This Carlton ship can unfortunately turn very quickly IMV.

    Yes I admit it I have schadenfreude. 

    Said exactly the same thing to someone today except it was in relation to Collingwood. Although I do have a happy little inner glow every time I hear Carlton are having a disappointing season.

    You're right, since and including 2001:

    Ess: 204-6-237 - they are underwater
    MFC: 172-3-272 - minus 100 wins
    Cartoon: 156-4-287 - we have a loser!

    Haha at least we're not the worst!!!

    What do you reckon about this? A lot of Dees fans were incensed that we did an internal review instead of an external review. Seems to have turned out alright for us in the end.

    Didn't I read somewhere that the "external review" at Carlton is going to be done by PWC? If that's right (and someone please correct me if I'm mistaken), I'm not sure how "external" that is given the incoming President of Carlton, Luke Sayers, is the recently resigned CEO of PWC Australia.

    I think an internal review made sense for us. We did not have any viable option to change senior coach as Goodwin had 2 years left and sacking him would have left us no money in the soft cap to hire a new coach. And it would have reflected poorly on the Board to sack Goodwin after extending his contract. You don't have an external review if you already know the what answer needs to be.

    Teague only has one year left, so they probably can change if they find a better option. If I was Carlton, I would seriously consider making a change. The Blues list is pretty good and their defensive system is very poor.

    • 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

      ï»żA 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.
