    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

    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 '

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
