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 '

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
