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: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
