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 really hate Carlscum.

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: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
