    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: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
