There’s only 1 game I care about, couldn’t give a rats [censored] about the rest.

So you've jumped on the non MFC Round 2 thread to let us know that you don't care about non- MFC games. I'm no expert, but wouldn't it be easier not to go to the thread in the first place?

    Really don't like seeing Carlton play good footy.

    They’re a very talented list. Still suspect down back for me tho.

    Left field question:

    I jokingly asked a friend if the blues would have Voss on the phone during the game, but now I’m wondering… would that be allowed?

    Do you have to physically be at the game to be involved in the coaching??

    On ch. 7 news they reported that Vossy would indeed be permitted to coach from home, via video link.

    Carlton will be pushing for top four easily, no idea why the Bulldogs were such big favourites for this game.

    Do you see Carlton's form lasting all year? I'd suspect they have a midseason dip that lasts a little too long to make top 4 - very much a Melbourne 2018 type year.

    Patrick Cripps might be the only player in the comp the umps love more than a Dogs player.

    EDIT: Dogs are getting a bad run with the umps. What is this nonsense?

    I think they could be a Melbourne 2021 team.

    Their midfield depth is so good now, watch Cripps bounce right back simply because he isn’t a trying to do it all for once.

    That would be beyond anything the dees did in 2021, with no experience whatsoever of Finals, and no underpinning structure - they're very much a run and gun side that depends on their midfield to kick goals. It ain't happening 25 weeks straight.

    Anyone else already sick of the Carlton hype? We went 10-0 and didn’t get this much hype.

    nevertheless they are going all out every week. Can’t see them lasting a full season with this intensity.

    I just don't like them and would prefer they rot in the bottom half forever.

    Same but when you’ve been horrible for 2 decades eventually you accumulate enough talent to get better. Just ask Melbourne.

    Anyone else having issues with the afl live app? For me the game intermittently disappears from the match centre.

    Cripps for the Brownlow would be a good bet right now I reckon. He’s moving better than I’ve seen for quite a few years.

    Give them all the hype they want and let us coast through with no attention. That works for us in my opinion.

    Dunno about the umps but the entire commentary team just declared a collective “mad man-crush” on him.

    And one of the frees Carlton got was complete rubbish: an attempt to make up for not paying a clear mark a few seconds earlier.

    Disgusting isn't it.

    Both defences look a bit weak but carlscums midfield is very good. (yuk)

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
