Carlton to get on the 'selfless' bandwagon

I loved Voss as a player but still a few questions marks as a coach. Seems a high risk situation as the Blues have some decent top end talent but there bottom end is ordinary. I would still have the Bombers, Saints and Freo ahead of them

    Some here over rating Carlton’s list. Remember they can’t defend for toffee. Makes a welcome change from the “Carlton have overtaken us” posts though

    Agree. Media overrates them as well imo.

    Agree 100%.  Their list is very average.  Finals next year?  No way.  IF Essendon and GWS fall out I'd still have all of WCE, Richmond, and StKilda above them, maybe even Hawthorn.

    Remember when the narrative was a decade of rivalry between Melbourne and St Kilda given their young lists brimming with talent. Around 2006 EF time.

    I love reading about clubs supposedly copying the current Premier. When was the last time a Premier was lauded for having adopted someone else's gameplan and just executing it better? My recollection is that every Premier appears to have introduced something unique. It might be the gameplan; or it could be supreme fitness levels. What doesn't happen, though, is that one team successfully adopts another team's modus operandi.

    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.

    We're going to get A LOT more free kicks!

    Carlton still lack class and grunt in midfield even with Cerra coming in - they loaded up on way too many flankers, where we started the rebuild in the guts (thanks Roosy) which is the right way to go about it

    It's natural evolution that the current premier becomes the blueprint for others to copy.

    As Neale Daniher says "When all is said and done, more is said than done"

    Its one thing to say youre going to do it, its another to do it.

    Melbourne has had a top to bottom transformation, Its bloody hard to achieve.

    Surreal that OUR team was the catalyst for the footy world's latest catch cry ... 

    Love it, although you just feel the term itself will become nauseating at the behest of the Channel 7 commentary team real quick

    The other word Goody threw out their towards the end of last season for the team to adopt as an ethos was 'ruthless'.  Towards the end of the home and away and as the finals series progressed, I think the team became the embodiment of ruthless, in the way we won games which will be even harder for others to emulate.

    I'd be quite happy for the ruthless buzz word to be associated with the MFC.

    We've gone from hopeless to selfless and ruthless. Hell yeah

    Now that we're back in charge of football it's unsurprising clubs will attempt to emulate us. Once we've won 4 in a row they can do whatever they like

    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!

    Jye Amiss is a tall forward who has been compared to a tall Bailey Fritsch from a few Bigfooty draft watchers!

    They lost a bit of their Mojo after 95, but you are right. The paper bags were still around until 2001-02

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
