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

    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

    Carlton fans look feral

    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.

    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: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
