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

    ...even alongside Richmond fans ? 🤔

    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: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
