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

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
