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😁

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
