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

 

You don't think the totally out of depth biases inept Christian won't find some way to get Criupps off?

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

 

Because they can't hold a lead...

 

I'll see myself out

Shamefully one could say exactly the same for Demons.

    OMG - even if we were to lead Carlton by 8 goals at ¾ time next week they will have belief in (a) their ability to come back and (b) our proven inability to defend any sort of lead.

    Somebody on here posted earlier "I hope the Dees are watching" Well I hope they are now because this is why you never take the foot off the pedal.

    Good test for us to play the 3rd and 4th quarters well.

    Channel 7 news going with ‘Carlton’s captain facing a season ending suspension’.

    The AFL have already decided. He’s gone.

    The last quarter had NFL pre season game intensity.

    Josh Kennedy’s all class. His last game of a 17-year career and he’s kicked six goals to 3/4 time. What a legend. 
     

    edit: eight goals now.

    Looks really bad for Cripps. No intention of contesting the ball. Has to get minimum 2 weeks for that.   May would get 4 .

    The 6/6/6 rule is finally starting to make a huge impact in games this year. Centre breaks are crucial in the current game.

    The last 90 secs of 3rd q of gf last year was the proof

    These footy results don't look too good.

    We win our 2 games and Pies beat Swans, then we play Pies at G in a QF. ( Third time lucky? )

    That will do me.

    Cripps should get minimum two weeks. Wasn’t a marking contest, he chose to leap and then bump head high, and he didn’t extend his arm to try and spoil the ball.
    Ah Chee was concussed and will miss two weeks now under concussion protocols.

    Should be 3-4 weeks, but will get two. Anything less and it’s blatant corruption from the AFL trying to protect a star player from a team they want in finals.

    No I’m not a conspiracy theorist. Head hit. Subbed off = gone

    I actually don’t mind this Adam Papalia guy commentating, Derm not so much.

    Cripps has been looking at Maynard's playbook.

    • 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.
