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)

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
