    I'm torn as to which pack of these tip rats I want to win.

    An absolute throw by Cripps when tackled, in Richmond forward line – no free. Some players are untouchable.

    Too late. I’m a lost cause. At this point even an exorcism wouldn’t do it.

    If we had a Harry McKay we’d be sitting at 12-1.

    And we would be a very complete side. But in that bizzaro world, Weid would have won the Coleman 3 years running.

    Tigers 8 points behind us with zero injuries

    Imagine how much Carlton would have lost by if the maggots bothered to pick up the throws

    So how long do the boys get off this week? Hopefully they use it to have a good rest & stay out of any trouble.

    I noticed de goey went to Bali. Interesting decision.

    Both of tonight’s sides look like they’d have us covered at the moment.

    People keep saying we haven’t beaten anyone. In fact, we took Richmond apart in everything except the size of the winning margin - because we kicked so inaccurately. We were miles better than them.

    Maybe but atm we are not playing the same brand of football

    I watched this game with a lot of interest and there were three very stark differences to the way we play atm

    1. A willingness to run and carry moving the ball forward as quickly as possible

    2. Effective tall forwards that if they don’t mark bring the ball to ground so their small forwards can go to work 

    3. Consistent pressure acts when not in possession meaning opposition has less time to dispose effectively 

    I don’t think the way we’ve played over the last month or so we’d beat either of those sides last night which is obviously a big concern because they are both lapping at our heals 

    Lets hope we regain some form and fast 

    It would be great if BB and Weid watched how physical the tall forwards were in this game - I don’t think they have it in them to replicate that but it would be nice if they could

    As I've posted several times before, I don't understand why the commentators don't call this out. More relevant than most of their air filling.

    AFL directive not to criticise umpires?

    If it looks like a throw acts like a throw, then it is a throw.

    Except when it's Carlton doing it.

    Or Bulldogs, Cats, Eagles to mention a few other perennial offenders.

    Yes we are only 2 games ahead of teams like Richmond and Collingwood. This is what happens when you lose 3 on the bounce, very much not ideal no matter what the excuse. 

  • Quote

    If Cats, Saints and Sydney win their games vs Eagles, Ess and Port by even a couple of goals, Carlton will go from 4th to 7th by tomorrow night.

    When you watch a game like last night's, it's confusing because you think that your team is be adjudicated by a different set of rules.Take for example pushing into fence. MFC game, free straight away. Arguing with umpire free straight away. Going off the mark before play on, err forgot to blow whistle free and 50 straight away.  Yet we all saw those being flaunted.

    No one puts any attention into Jayden Short. Nearly 1000 metres gained tonight.

    Happens all the time for some reason.

    Winners at last please tell me you thought Crisp's handball to Cox for his goal on Monday was a throw. I just want to find one person that agrees with me on this 😝

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
