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

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
