I said on here last week Carlton would beat Geelong. Thought with Stewart out it would help Curnow.

Also thought there younger players would be quicker

    No Stewart, Henry or Kolodjashnij. It's rather undermanned back there.

    From Easter last year they only conceded 90+ twice. They've already conceded 90+ twice in two games this year.

    Ohhhhh yup true. Henry and Kolodjashnij in at least and this is a different game.

    Carltons bottom 10 players are VFL standard.

    Some good high end talent.

    Geelong are looking old...without Cameron & playing a better opposition they would have been smashed.

    I could happily watch Carlton be irrelevant for another 20 years Wodja. 

    Prefer to see the cats in that predicament and I hate Carlton

    Sydney $1.08 at home vs Hawthorn. If you take that bet now 36hrs out I make it 1000%pa interest on your money.

    Saad is like a small version of Sam Frost. Runs off half back like a hyperactive nuffy, with no idea where he's going half the time. Most times he turns the ball over and the occasional time he'll create a score by taking the game on. He's a liability for mine.

    But then we had posters on here complaining that we got rid of Frost, so what would I know?

    Also, why was Michael Voss crying? Calm down mate, you haven't won the flag.

    Geelong were hopeless tonite. Carlton should have won by 40 to 50 points. Dreadful footy.

    A fair comparison 'A F', the only difference is that Sam didn't mind body contact.

    ...but back to Saad, he tried hard to lose them the game.

    He doesn't seem to have the best agility either. There were a few moments where Stengle showed him a clean set of heels.

    When do we get worried about Carlton being half decent? 

    When they become half decent. Still playing on emotion (both positive and negative emotions). Voss hasn’t taught a game style that is reliable. Plus they are extremely shaky in defence.

    Well I hope they lose next week and go 1-1-1

    When they get a game plan that actually plays to their strengths which is clearly McKay and Curnow. 


    Their ball movement is shambolic at best and idiotic at worse. I know Walsh out really hurts them because he gives them so much first use at clearances, but FMD they have some horrific ball users and decision makers.

    Any team under the average age of 98 and with any sort of fitness would have run them into the ground in that last quarter. 
    They look spent 2 games in. Fair enough Geelong coming off a short pre season at their age, but what is Carlton’s excuse? They didn’t even play finals!

    Their ball use looks like an electric toothbrush in a toaster at the best of times.

    Stengel is a smart player. I don't think Saad was the right match up but not sure they have anyone else with leg speed in their defensive half.

    On that subject Doherty looks to be struggling and Weitering had a shocker...

    Another on the Cats side Tuohy is getting caught out a lot...33yo and might have gone one too many.

    edit: I notice Saad had a heap of metres gained wonder how much came back with interest...

    I was there tonight, and it was hard to believe Geelong won the flag. Carlton weren’t much better and did their best to lose the game.

    For such a big guy McKay certainly likes to flap the arms, Plugger would've kicked 350 goals a year if a free was paid every time he got touched.

    Poor Scott. He can’t blame the surface tonight.

    He was asked in the presser if they're missing selwoods leadership. Dangers copping a bit of heat online

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
