Hopefully they don't think it will all just happen - it is going to take an big lift in defensive pressure to be any chance

    For starters wear the real and only  MFC jumper. The one in the above pic looks awful.

    Has Carlton ditched that all white outfit from last year. Havent seen it this season. They looked like they were running around in their undies.

    The short bit of footage the club released from training showed some reasonably high pressure match simulation. Part of me thinks this is the week we see a real step up…hope I am correct

    I think we are all sitting here hoping we see that switch flicked this week.

    If we do it will give me a lot more confidence heading into the end of the regular season and into finals.

    If we don't it's hard to see us getting our best back this season.

    Winning out is unlikely but hopefully we see more of what we know and love.

    I just don't want to see any 4 or 5 goal leads fluffed anymore.

    I reckon we're going to love the last month of footy. It's a real chance to play some really strong and desperate teams with finals and top 4 on the line. 

    It's going to be a perfect lead in to the finals and if we want to be a great team like the players talk about, it's time to lift the intensity and run out 4 quarters.

    I expect us to win at least 3 of our last 4 and hit finals with a bang.

    I love that most of the press are writing us off.

    You’d imagine all clubs do high-pressure match sims, right?

    I don’t imagine that they always do it on a 6 day break. To me it says that maybe we are stepping into a game honing phase and are no longer in a loading phase.

    I could be totally wrong though and don’t claim to be an expert on the matter

    I'd have been more confident with another couple of easy kills like Gold Coast and Adelaide to warm us up.

    Pretty much sums up most of your posts.

    Waiting for another insightful come back.

    I haven’t heard one good answer on the contested marking drop off. I’d love to hear an explanation for this.

    Could it be that all of May, Lever, Gawn and Jackson have been injured/ill at some point in that period? So we're either missing or below their best?

    I believe this is the thread appropos thread for that type of thing.

    Perhaps it could end up as a containment thread ala the NO T$ NO BS thread.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
