    And totally unoriginal, using exactly the same language that Goody and the players used

    Easier said than done. If it were easy everyone would have done it by now.

    And so it begins.

    Our players will be lauded as Superstars. We will become the hunted. Everyone will want what we have and try to replicate our game plan.

    A simple one two hand pass between Petracca and Oliver will be called incredible by commentators.

    Salem will be lauded as the best kick in the league every time he gets the ball. Even when he missed one it will be a rare miss.

    Are you saying there is a problem with this? The boys should start bottling their urine, they can sell it as champagne 😁

    It is possible with Cook as CEO but they are kidding themselves if they think it’ll happen over a preseason.

    They have a much better list than we did in 2014 when Roosy took over. We however started an organizational facelift from that year onwards. We brought in Roosy’s Sydney assistants. We rejigged our football department. We started learning a new game plan and defensive fundamentals. Us becoming ‘selfless’ was merely the final cherry on top after we had spent the last 7 years making the sundae. Richmond and Geelong’s breakthrough teams were no different.

    If they think they’ll just snap their fingers and become a premiership team, they will be demonstrating exactly why they have failed from 2014 onwards.

    Certainly is!

    Wait till they do the player profiles for this year's draft prospects. We'll probably start seeing the "plays like.... " line, and it'll be one of our guys!

    But its true anyway.  - Just now will be rcognised.

    "Carlton" and "selfless" don't belong in the same sentence.

    Cripps to defensive wing 

    I think Cripps should be a top five player in the AFL, however he as optimised “trying to do it all himself” for too long now.

    If Carlton get things right they could jump up the ladder pretty quickly with their list.

  • Quote

    Can't wait to see guys like Williams, Martin & McGovern talking about selflessness and team first cultures as they pocket half of Carlton's salary cap between them.

    That said, there is enough talent on Carlton's list that they should be playing finals next year.

    A lot depends on Cripps. Shades of Trengove - lost mobility. Against MFC this year, couldn't or wouldn't kick. Other than Walsh, nothing else in the mids.

    They have a good spine, but Jones is overrated as a defender (interceptor only).

    In passing, Coniglio seems to have the Trengove effect as well.

  • Quote

    I'll probably be corrected but regardless of the list, I don't think many coaches have taken over and got to a flag straight away - it usually takes years for players to learn a new gamestyle and for the coach to tweak the list to implement it.

    Scott is an exception but they had already won a few flags.  Bevo maybe the other exception - except McCartney had laid the ground work with a number of their young players.  Could we say Teague has done the same?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
