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.

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
