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?

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. 

 

God how I hate Rhys Mathieson

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

Could make the same joke about us unfortunately

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

 

Cripps has been looking at Maynard's playbook.

  • REPORT: 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.

  • 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.
