JB just said laconic

The misuse of this word, especially when describing footy players, is so irritating. I’m assuming they mean “lackadaisical”?

    Lions much better than Carlton tonight. They've beaten them in all areas. Hard to see Carlton making top 4 based on this game.

    Intensity at, over and around the ball missing.  No run.

    When they haven't got the pill it's very much the same.  Pressure is way off.

    Blues have regressed so far this season

    Lions are a much harder team this year. they're right in the mix to win the flag

    How bad must be the Eagles be if Carlton is dishing up this 💩 tonight.

    And on a totally unrelated note I had no idea we had the best % in the comp.

    Totally agree. Definitely will be in the top four at season’s end

    Carlton footy club is the very definition of meh.  I feel absolutely nothing for them.

    Before round 1, I picked Carlton for 9th. Apart from Weitering, their defence is full of NQR's. If they can't stop Hipwood (who I once rated but now consider him less than average) they won't stop many good scoring teams.

    I feel like Hipwood gets off the chain 3-4 times a year because their forward line is stacked with potentially damaging players. In an ordinary side I reckon he’d struggle.

    Have to say Harry McKay is one of the laziest forwards, just watch how far he trails behind people when the opposition has the ball, and even when the contest is near, he is a witches hat! 

    Also Carlton are too scared to take a risk into the corridor, everything is out wide and down the wings, and Brisbane are just waiting, dumb football.

    Maybe Carlton won't make the finals.

    Oh the irony of them missing by half a game after their draw with Tigers.

    Well it is a big word, even though it was not the appropriate one - lackadaisical

    Carlton aren't physical enough to match Brisbane. 

     

     

     

     

     

    Bruise free perhaps

    Carlton need a coach. Voss might have been a great player but he is not a coach.

    Voss, Hird, Buckley in the same boat.

    At the ground with a Blues supporting mate.

    Saad is clueless, deer in headlights stuff. Blues defence sloppy and lazy (mids not getting back fast enough). McKay is useless once the ball hits the deck.

    Their movement out of the backline is constantly to the flanks and wings (where have I seen that before).

    Don’t know if Lions are good enough for a serious tilt, but Carlton sure ain’t.

    Carlton will be out of the eight by the end of this round and I can not see them getting back in. I just [censored] because I changed my tip from The Lions to the Blues just before the game started

    Ikr, my gut had picked Lions.  I'm running the tips for myself and a friend, and she asked if it was smart going against the betting odds in favour for Carlton.  Changed us both to the blues and the regret is strong 😂

    Richo is really just about as dumb as BT - the entire commentary is moronic bloke banter.  Unfortunately this season I have been unable to sync digital, direct or AFL app radio commentary.

    "If Carlton get a goal they will be 27 points down - they are now 33 down, BT".  WOW.

    I take it back when I said we should have gone for McKay. Curnow is the star in that fwd line.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
