    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.

    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 '

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
