What biased comments!! They are idiots 

Incidental contact … WHAT BS

He has eyes on the ball …WHAT BS 

Trying to punch the ball … WHAT BS

Cripps decided to bump

Jumped to leave ground 

Direct contact with head

Loss of consciousness

Player subbed straight off

THATS 3-4 WEEKS, Probably two with guilty plea

 

The Lions have played well and will be tough to beat in a fortnight.  They play their home ground well

Carlton are ordinary and if we lost to them next week (with or without Cripps) that would be a huge disappointment

12.10 to 3.6 is damning

Carlton looked to have got their loading wrong (sorry, just saw my opportunity to turn this thread into every other thread and took it).

According to Leigh Mathews - “I suspect that’s incidental contact” LMAO 🤣 

Bit like the way Elbows Leigh played...incidental contact

= mandatory suspension if rules are followed!

we will see …

Another problem is he made no attempt to touch the ball, just braced for the bump and got him.

It would be nice if Carlton play like this next week. 

If we can't beat this mob off a travelling 6 day break vs  us 8 day. Stick a fork in us

If Saints win the night before against Brisbane... Carlton will be fighting to stay in the 8

Should be a good win for us but.................

 

carlscum only 3 goals and they scored them all in <5 minutes

they look like they have fallen off a cliff

Yeah your probably right. 

Would love to see Carlton miss the 8 after all the Carry on earlier this season 

Carlton will be without Cripps, travelling back from interstate, 2 days less rest. Also missing Kennedy, Hewitt, Newman etc

if we don't hammer them we don't deserve finals, let alone top 4

 

Carlton getting murdered at the centre bounce. Another reason to be optimistic next week

Oh I was talking about JK at The Eagles, but everything I said applies to JK at the Swannies.

I think he was hoping to go on somewhere else next year, but this new injury might be the end of him sadly.

Seems it’s a hammy that will likely end his season and possibly his career. 

But the WCE JK is easily my favourite non-MFC player. No fuss. So humble and unassuming. Just gets on with the job. He’ll be sorely missed. 

Carlton can be hot or cold, from one week to the next

They can play fast, down the corridor style and have the balance to kick goals and defend.

The fast, take us on footy has been our Achilles heal this year.

We thought we could control the Pie when they came at us.

We need to be ready for their best.

Against Brisbane, they can't get their hands on it.

Lions percentage 126.6 at 3/4 time. 2.3% behind us. Can Blues.

Cripps won't be rubbed out. There is one main reason. They play us and the filth in the next 2 weeks and would have to win one of them. Tigers should win both of their games and the dogs should as well which would place Carlton out of the eight. Saints probably won't win another game for year. The AFL want Carlton in the 8 so will make sure their most important player does not get rubbed out. It may not make a difference anyway but they want Carlton to have as much probability of making the 8 as they can.


Still a 54 point gap between Us and The Lions so we should stay third for at least one more week.

Make that 61 points.

I'd call you a conspiracy nutter but that would also make me a conspiracy nutter. I genuinely think the AFL would be keen to give both teams a leg up.

This is good, first it keeps Brisbane at bay and second takes a little of the heat out of the hiding Carlton will get in the press this week.

 

Margin’s back to 27pts. 😱

Why aren't the Bears players allowed to own a dog?

 

Because they can't hold a lead...

 

I'll see myself out

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • 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.

  • PREGAME: Hawthorn

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?
