Kangas v Blues 

1. Carlton rely on Curnow and McKay. But they are seriously very good. 
2. Kangas youngsters are impressive.  Simpkin, Sheezel, LDU and they’ll add Wardlaw in next few weeks. 
3. Kangas poor goalkicking and Larkeys injury hurt their chances. 
4. Blues need Sam Walsh in. He’s run was missed and he will be a key to their premiership chances 

5. Umpires in 3rd quarter were horribly favouring Carlton. It killed North to see Blues get so many frees whilst they didn’t get one for the last 20 minutes in the 3rd. Best comment about the umps. No comment. 

I might be in the minority here, but Carlton haven’t proven anything yet. They’ve had a very soft draw and only just beat the Giants after a ridiculous free kick and just did enough against North.

Just wait until they play a genuine contender. Then we’ll see the real Carlton.

    Jackson did everything right then from the centre bounce, Tabener let him down.

    Izak wouldn’t have been born the year that song was kicking around.

    Good start Crows - 50-21

    Most of them choose songs that were released long before they were born. 
    Related: I’m glad Nick Murray’s not likely to kick a goal since his song is Thank God I’m A Country Boy. I’ve heard more John Denver in the past fortnight than I care to.

    Putting our pick aside, Freo are destined to finish bottom 4 playing this style. Longmuir needs to overhaul their system big time and we know how hard that is mid season.

    The only side they should beat is Hawthorn - I’d bet against every game.

    Adelaide’s pressure is excellent but gee Freo have looked bad so far. Jackson has had a couple of moments where he just misses having the quality midfield to give it off to.

    Sheesh…I didn’t think Freo were this bad. They got lucky with all the Weagles injuries last week. Jackson was really plodding half way through the second, is he carrying an injury?

    Are we seeing the Darren Burgess effect at the Crows.

    They are very fit and have a hard edge.

    Few Freo blokes have not enjoyed the heat of battle...

    Is anyone else kind of uncomfortable with the thought that the Crows might soon be good again? It just doesn't sit right with me, like having someone standing outside your window. They seem to be okay for 'regular players' and with a bit of star power as Izakermanis and co mature, they might become a genuine problem.

    Yeah could have used another year of mediocrity

    I’m on my deathbed thanks to finally being hit by the damn rona three years too late. But this Freo game is bringing me back to life baby.

    • 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.
