    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 😝

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
