    People fall for this every year, it's April - you do not want your club playing at their best. 

    Agree. Carlton won’t get any better and eventually a couple of wheels will fall off

    I remember hearing this every week last year from my friends about us!

    It’s not just about how well Carlton are playing, it’s the sheer amount of talent they have now.

    Always helps when your talent is fit.
    Curnow's been injured for 3-4yrs and Cripps the last 2.
    Hope the seasons too long and they break down again.
    I know too many Carlton supporting floggs.
    Prefer it when they're quiet.

    Backline is still suspect. No ruckman. 
    Midfield and Forwards are elite.

    This has turned into a really good game. Hawks look to have bottomed out and are now on the rise whilst the Blues are still a work in progress, particularly at the back.

    Same.
    You don't win flags in April/May/June/July etc, etc till we won one in September.
    Ha, ha ... Suck it fools.

    As per Collingwood, this 1000% manic intensity of footy is totally unsustainable especially when you don’t have a defensive structure to hold onto a lead and shut a game down. 
    Good lists are one thing. Good systems are another. Both Carlton and Pies need to adjust their system if they want to go deep in September

    Melbourne 2018.

    I also rate Carlton. They have a list they can build something really good with and their draw is a complete joke so they should make the 8 comfortably. 
    But until they sort out their defensive two way running work, and can sustain their attacking game style for 4 quarters, I will not be backing them in for a flag. 
    As you said Melbourne 2018. Up, down, glitz and glamour attacking dazzle, and then a complete blow up against top sides and when the heat comes.

    Two big clubs at 2-0 with a lot of bandwagoners.

    I hate both teams. But Williams HTB in the Hawks F50 was as blatant as they come with the new rule.

    Hawks robbed. Glad it wasn’t us would have blown a gasket.

    Carlton have 1 good half of my footy per game. Keep them to within 4 goals and you can over run them in the 2nd half.

     

    Proven again today.

    What on earth are the blues happy about.? 4 h goals after 1/4 time.

    Wtf.

    To be going life and death with Doggies and Hawks so early in the season is not good news for the baggers, will slow down big time at the half way point of the season

    I’ve spent the entire game in a chat, me and seven diehard Blues fans. I’m not sure but I think at least three hearts stopped. 😂

    Edit: mine wasn’t one of them. ❤️💙

    Cracking round of football so far with only North stinking it up.

    Blues gamed the medi sub rule as explicitly described by Curnow in post match.

    AFL investigation needed here. Curnow out 1 week to 'recover '

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      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?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?
