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.

    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

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
