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 still rate Carlton.

Big big missed holding the ball, lucky it was touched off the boot

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.

Gee a good crowd 66,000

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 '

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
