If we can't beat this Carlton squad next week then we are definitively not top 4 capable.

    Poor kicking Is poor football. And in the end we didn’t win. Yep and in between the dogs and pies beat us. It’s not rubbish, just keep at us and we will crumbly in the last quarter. We kicked 2 goals to 4.2 in the last. Nothing poor there just outscored in fact doubled our total. 

    old dee - maybe you should just book an overseas holiday for September right now preferably somewhere without internet

    See my new rule of the week thread. He had at least 3 frees in that incident without one being paid. I thought it was disgusting.

    The commentators are now confirmed garbage as their comments were not about any free missed but that the violence showed the Pies had come to play.

    What about the pile drive of his head into the ground by Maynard? MRO will be a nothing to see hear from ex Pie Christian.

    Christian is inept, and biased with an extra conflict of interest this round.

    North given up

    There goes 3rd spot

    We sacrificed our “entitlement” over the last 10 weeks.  Do we want it back enough?  Does Max and the crew really want to deliver us a flag at the G, or would they just like to?  Over to you, team.

    It’s always handy when you get to play norf twice in one season 

    Cats got Norf and Eagles twice, as well as their gift of home ground advantage second to none.

    If we beat Carlton but we lose to Brisbane it’s looking very likely we’ll play Richmond at the G for an elimination final. A loss there could set in some PTSD for a lot of us.

    As much as a love seeing Carlton being flogged, I would much prefer they didn't let Brisbane accumulate percentage so easy.

    Carlton's form is rotten

    Brisbane's goal kicking is pathetic

    Reasons to be optimistic before we play them both

    I don’t understand how the bump works. Cripps chose to bump someone in the air, knocks him out, and everyone says it’s not an issue?

    If you chose to bump aren’t you responsible for what happens?

    Carlton are a media hype team this year so everything is OK.

    sounds like they are trying to protect the ‘protected species’. Looked crude to me, even Cripps looked a bit shaken after the incident.

    Nearly took his head off. The Lions player was in the air so couldn't brace for impact. Should get multiple games

    Those commentators! 

    Cripps left the ground, bumbs from behind/side, hits the head, didn’t get near the ball, Che subbed out.

    Mathews says going for the ball all should be fine, the rest follow.

    Where is the 'duty of care.'

    At least 2 weeks.

    Players are responsible, that's just the way it is now.  Matthews, Darcy & Hodge are too old school

    He'll get cited and could be 2 games out.  Maybe 3.   Looked blatant to me

    Ah Chee was subbed off as well

    Cripps is in trouble

    Unbiased view as well as I recognise that we play them next week

    If they apply the correct classifications there's no way he avoids suspension.

    Carlton Rucks are De konning and Silvagni, u gotta be kidding. Just watched Crapps bump again, he should go for 2 at least but being the Poster boy itl be.... nothing to see here. If it was Byron Picket he'd get 8. Wait on make it 10

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
