Carlton's last kick into the forward 50 gets stuffed up every time.

actually you are much better off not knowing

Sometimes I feel quite inadequate.

I think I shall give the maid a jolly good rollicking ...... and it's your fault Dub.

 

So good to see 50's being paid for time wasting.  eg, falling over the ball and not giving it back


I tell ya what, neither team is winning a flag this year. 
Carlton are at least hanging in and giving themselves a sniff. Richmond look old.

Free to Martin?! Seriously it is a tough watch at times.

Over the shoulder 

but soft


There was nothing close to a free kick to Dusty. 

As usual the commentary team don't even mention it.  the kick to dusty came from another free as well.   such BS

With all the momentum with Carlton, the umps could well have decided this game

pretty sure you're allowed to reach over your opponents shoulder to try to spoil.

not having a go at you, I'm just annoyed.

Full disclosure - i've got money on the blues.

At least Nick didn’t look like a smashed crab when  he played. Jack is the biggest drama queen. Just calm down Jack, people are literally dying in Ukraine. You just got tackled. 

Really liked Bolton and the way he is able to get involved in the game from HB into the forward line and damage the scoreboard. I know he took a few seasons to develop but hope one of our small forwards can develop into a similar player.

he'll have to console himself with being 3 times the player Jack is


What is it with so many poor free kicks being awarded for minimal/normal physical contact? Are the umpires being directed to take the physical risk out of the game?

  • If you even touch a person with a free kick or mark = 50m. A couple last night, and more tonight
  • Williams manning up on Martin = freekick. What!?!?!
  • A  player trips over an opposition player who is almost stationary on the ground and is awarded a tripping free. 

Did I miss the memo or can I no longer guess the rules?

By the way, a good contest Tiges v Blues, but nothing more. No killer blow for any team so far.

Agree. Defenders have a tough job

3 goals to the left of screen and 14 to the right so far. That’s the only observation I have out of tonight.

Sorry uncle, suffice to say she has a song called WAP.  but.... with a different meaning

Well let's see where Carlton are at.

If they come back and win against an experienced side then Voss has had an impact.

Along with lots of new players with “Vissy ambassador” roles who have come to Carlton.

How much are the Blues paying Martin? Ouch.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

  • GAMEDAY: Sydney

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
