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: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
