Unfortunately it looks like that grand finals has mentally broken a lot of our players. Confidence is shot

    Lot of similarities between the Blues and the 2021 Dees. They are looking really good. OMac being a starting key back can’t be a good sign for them though.

    More like us in 2018, won’t surprise me if they make a prelim, don’t expect them to go further

    They're the real deal Carlton. Say what you want, but they absolutely have the cattle to finish top 4.

    Their midfield and forward line is elite.

    I think we broke the Bulldogs and it’s delightful.

    Outwith a couple of key season ending injuries this game has had everything so far.

    Their midfield win enough of the ball which means it's less pressure on their backs.

    They have a good system in place.

    Yep. They will struggle to win 8 games this year. The intensity has gone. 
    Beautiful thing…

    We killed em off

    Carlton are a genuine flag contender, not just a top 6 side that might scrounge out a finals win.

    They remind me of Richmond (2017) and Melbourne (2021) in that they have a highly talented list that finally discovered a magic formula and group buy in over summer, just like what we did last summer.

    They’re an extremely impressive and dangerous side thus far.

    I hope Buddy kicks his 1,000th tomorrow and gets it over and done with.  Fox Footy and SEN mention it every 5 minutes

    Based on this form they are, but no one would have rated Melbourne a shot at a flag in round 2 last year, and rightly so. Only the true believers had faith - and just because some of us were right doesn't mean it's going to prove to be true this year.

    I'll reserve my judgment - I simply don't think the pace they play at will be repeatable for the entire year.

    No way making a call about Carlton yet. Dust doesn't settle until about round 8. Their midfield is very, very good but Cripps will probably not be able to sustain his current rate of work, and their defence can be easily exposed as shaky and vulnerable. 

    And the Doggies are a proud bunch with a brilliant skipper, I doubt they will roll over.

    Weightman is over-rated - two awful kicks - very lucky with the second one.. Hannan does very little.

    Wasn't McGovern standing still? How can the fault be his?

    That doesn’t hold up in finals tho as you know. 
    Carlton have the talent to finish top 4. So do the Dogs. Both have very suspect backlines.

    Doggies have turned up the heat. We'll see what Carlton are made out of now.

    Carlton's backline has fallen apart since Oscar didn't come back after half time😁

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
