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.

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

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

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
