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.

    And we lacked May and Salem last week and killed the 🐩

    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

    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.

    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

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
