    Scores?

    That half was more of a stinking pile of sh*t than The Phantom Menace.

    Plus May. The other point that with May as the anchor, the other players back there have a reference point and can play and structure up accordingly - and do so week after week so they hone their systems. None of that on display today.

    First time ever i have been happy that nobody bother to post scores in Game-Day threads.

    Sounds like the umps are loving their new 50 m penalty power too.

    I legit didn't know Jack Martin was playing until the last 20seconds. Glad he refused to meet with us.

    It's a practice match. The scum are playing out of their skins and we are going through the paces.

    Has no relevance to the real stuff.

    A 50 paid against Tomlinson for shaking his head and putting his hands on his knees.

    Why scrap them? They are good changes.  Speed the game up and stop backchatting the umpires

    The umpiring has been deplorable. The only thing that's been worse is our skill level. Glad we had this game now. Been too good for too long. Stop drinking their bathwater. Hunt has made sure he won't get a game for a long time has had an absolute stinker. Smith and Baker are not up to it.

    Say what you want about him (and I do), Fritsch is a man who knows how to kick sausage rolls.

    One team thinks it's playing in the Grand Final. Not concerned at all if fact we will end up winning this. 

    Carlton are having a go and we are not even bothering to match them Lazy football. It is only a practice match so is forgivable but they want to get their heads cleared up before the 1st round.

    It was a rubbish half aside from the first 5 or so minutes.

    It's like we came out and gave half a damn for the first 5 minutes to see if Carlton would roll over and let us have our way with them. When it became clear they are treating this match like the final audition for the part of young Anakin (keeping the theme of the thread), the boys just noped out of it and have been jogging ever since.

    The Phantom Menace is actually great. Recommend giving it another shot.

    Joel Smith on the other hand...

    Oh [censored] yeah.... tomlinson got done for shaking his head. 

    Can you imagine if that cost you a goal in a final.

    Pre game I thought Carlton’s outs were more influential than ours.

    However all are outs are from our backline whereas their stars are spread across the 3  units.

    That and we’re disinterested and comfortable where we sit as a side at the moment, while they’re going hell for leather to impress Voss (and they look impressive in fairness to them)

    Its also part of the afl plan to build up blues to get a big crowd and huge expectations.

    Tiges then thump them as usual 

    Good point, we must have taken a brown paper bag deal........(very Carlton like).

    5 premiership backmen not playing. Hollywood football aside, let’s get get a little bit of perspective. 

    What's the definition of umpire abuse?   Clearly "youre a fckn [censored]" is abuse but is it not ok to say that decision was crap anymore?

    • 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.
