Not sure about the blues defenders knocking the ball back into play on the goal line from a Crows set shot. Seen them give up 2 goals from this. Voss will be screaming "For god's sake, punch it through!!!"

Yeah, Carlton’s  defence near Adelaide’s goal line was a nightmare for them.  Hilarious for neutrals though 😁😁

 

No body wanted to play one of the local sides this weekend but that was a very poor effort from Carlton. Lost 18% and showed that they can not handle pressure.

Absolutely blows my mind that year in, year out, I have to listen to the media tell me how good Carlton are gonna be this year.

Full blown pretenders. Cripps is very overrated. 

 

Some things do not change, Carlton will not be playing finals again in 2023.

Soft as butter.

Crows were very good and they look super fit.  Teamwork and backing up was first rate.  They look a different team with the Burgess effect

Carlton were dominated and had no answers.  An ordinary performance

Hopefully not, all tickets have been sold for our game and the Port game.

They are the same ticket though, right? So if I’m a Port supporter and want to watch the Port game I also get a seat at the Melbourne game (which I would imagine many wouldn’t bother rocking up for). 


I hate Carlton with a passion but you really have to forget that game, there was no way the Crows were losing tonight. And I think the Dogs will have the same problem on Sat night. Gather round is fine but it had better be in a different state each year.

That was seriously impressive by the crows. Great skills, fast paced style and the forward line looks organised. Looks like they'll be a handful at home but will have to see how they travel.

Is there any player that silvagni recruited from GWS that has been an ongoing success?

Logistics. There’s no way they can empty the stadium, pick up the rubbish, clean the restrooms, etc. then re-fill the stadium for the second match in that short period of time.

I’m guessing there’ll be many Port fans at our match since the one ticket covers both games and because the novelty factor is there. And they are a footy-mad state.

with another hour between games it's done easily

The other way is that you only use a section of the ground for game 1.. clear it and allow game 2 patrons in.   Other sections pay a slight premium for the two games

So many ways... the reality is that only the local teams are drawing and they knew it.

Olympic athletics have day and night sessions in bigger stadiums with relatively short breaks for example

The conversation around Cripps being better than Oliver just needs to end. You can count the games Clarry hasn't impacted on one hand. Cripps has half a dozen every season. That Brownlow last year was a total fraud. He can do special things when he wants, emphasis on 'He wants'.

I guess we will see, I was only trying to help you sleep by saying fans don’t have to vacate the stadium after our game.

I wonder when it will click for Carlton that the bottom 6 in your team is what wins you games. They load up on “super stars” and big names, over pay average B graders to appease their feral supporters during trade time, sell false hope and ignore the draft and youth. 
 

Their VFL team is [censored] as well, don’t have much coming through. 
 

 

I can’t help but admire Ben Keays.  Brisbane discard, but he worked super hard, got himself incredibly fit and is now forging a great career for himself.  And ironically, he’s the type of personality that Brisbane seem to really be missing.

I enjoyed that, loathe Carlton, and looking forward to us vs Crows, just quietly I still think our deefence remains the best and Crows won't get as many freebies. Also happy for Nicks to enjoy some 'limited' success, 13 losses to start your career was pretty grim. But anyway, knew Carlton are pretenders their defence isn't whole team, we will cream them as well.

Haha the logistics are doing my head in!


I expected Adelaide to belt someone soon but didn't think it would be Carlton. Carlton shouldn't be blown apart in the middle by any side, let alone Adelaide, and it was the midfield dominance which set up the first quarter and the win.

Not a bad year to get Adelaide only once and at the G.

Another hour wouldn’t be enough. If they did only use a section for the first match (as you suggested) they could do it, but who’s to say our match wouldn’t have been sold out without it being the first of a double-header? Every other match bar Rich vs Syd has sold out.

Adelaide smoked them in centre clearances. Really outsmarted them in that area too.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
