The Matilda’s game is enthralling. Great match so far.

 

...and Matildas score in extra time...!! 3-2!

It’s as if the Matildas are playing the Bulldogs, given that garbage penalty. 


4-2!!! Unbelievable.

People reckon Ratten will last the year?

solid list and just show no fight and horrible skills.

Anyone know what Taylor saw in Weideman to justify picking him over Harry McKay?

I guess he didn’t have a crystal ball. 
 

And any chance we will analyze Carlscum’s goal kicking tonight, and have some “learnings”?

I’ve really rated him over the years. Something stinks about them this year, but the same could have been said about us in 2019.

The difference is we traded well after 18 and got some spine about us. They don’t have any structure, and spent money on midfielders who haven’t delivered.

I reckon the difference is they don’t have quality at the back.
Their lack of skills and gameplan has to come back to coaching though

Most of Carlton’s set shots have been elementary and Walsh has snapped a few beautys. McKay snagged a set shot from outside 50 on the flank that none of our blokes could pull off.

Meanwhile we take all our set shots from sharp angles.

Carlton showing if you kick straight what can happen. Makes a big difference. Maybe just maybe the players are playing for Teague. 

Can you imagine we had McKay in our side.. As good as JT has picked recruits that is one monumental misjudgement. In fairness it is difficult to pick a KPF.

I just spent 2 minutes Googling 2015 AFL phantom drafts and found the following four, all of which rated Weideman above Mackay:

Who’s the Blues goalkicking coach? Get him in at any price. 15.2. Really!!! 

Before tonight they'd kicked more behinds than goals, including 5.14 three weeks ago vs Geelong.

Gee the game has passed Marc Murphy. Didn’t watch the whole game but seemed like he got caught every time he got the ball. Limping to 300.

Oh please don't start BBP, I'm trying to forget this even transpired.

Port, Swans and Lions all have difficult games this weekend. GWS and Essendon in the mix for the 8 so have everything to play for while the Hawks in Tassie won't be easy for the Lions and particularly post the Clarko announcement

Us to win and those 3 teams to lose would make a perfect weekend.

And the cherry on top would be North beating Geelong in Tassie. Very unlikely but you never know.

JT would’ve been the greatest recruiter of all time had he selected a Coleman medalist and a probable top 3 Brownlow medalist in the same first round’s draft.

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
