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😁

  • 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.
