Carlton players seem to be allowed to dispute just about every time they get a free against them - I remember that got 7 goals from 50s against us last preseason (which was excessively overzealous I admit) but they get away with murder.

    I’ve still got Carlton at 9th this year, but in a reverse of last year they might have to win the last few to clinch it.

    They got pummelled by 90 points. I thought he was one of the only players who looked able to control the ball. 

    C’mon man. He was atrocious defensively. I laughed at some of the non efforts/laziness he was playing with. If the Roos didn’t have to activate their sub, I reckon he would’ve been the one that would’ve been subbed.

    Gee they sure are getting into Voss on Twitter.

    Voss has to get the sack you can’t tell me Carlton have improved in 2 years, they suck

    Can anyone confirm the person who threw themselves off the balcony at Marvel Stadium wasn’t Michael Voss? #AFLBluesLions

    Michael Voss makes Nathan Buckley look like a combination of Norm Smith and Jock McHale #AFLBluesLions

    Call me stupid but Voss must be in a little trouble. They are no where near a top team and couldn’t want for a player on the list. Forget their win/loss at the minute they are nowhere #AFLBluesLions

    Harry Sharp for Brisbane kicks his first goal in league footy. 2 blokes come up to him for half hearted congratulations.

    JVR kicks his his first goal and 58 of his teammates come from all directions to celebrate and embrace the moment.

    What's Mitch Robinson holding up? A participation medal?

    I've got the volume off. What on earth is Mitch Robinson doing in the crowd with a Guernsey on?

    He can't quite retire yet?

    He's like Les McQueen from Creme Brulee

    It’s hard not to get seduced by the way Brisbane play their footy when their up and about and they have a very talented midfield and forward line.

    But, can anyone see them knocking off a Geelong or Collingwood at the MCG in a qual, prelim or GF?

    The entire team was atrocious defensively. It was just that the other 17 players also couldn’t find the footy. He’s far from a perfect footballer, but to single him out in the context of that performance seems wild to me.

    Perhaps Curnow and McKay will now realise that not every defence is as bad as WCE.   McKay in particular just looks like a spectator when he ant grab a mark.

    Think it was his 2015 Merrett-Murray medal  - club champion in a 4 way tie.

    Based on the broadcast and hearing from Luke Hodge (old team mate) - Mitch has played 100 games and been sacked by both teams so he gives the medal to the losing team when they play off.

    Does BT even realise Andrew Dunkley (father of Josh) was himself a very good reliable Swans defender with a lazy 217 games.  

    Thanks JB @jamesbrayshaw for the pickup as well

    Yep, they took off to order their Tassie jumpers.

    Carlton have not improved one iota since the departures of Teague and Bolts.

    Numerous top 10 picks, players traded in Cerra, Saad, Newman, Mcgovern, Pittonet etc.

    Same old 5hit on repeat from this club.

    Blues got a toxic supporter base went tonight and I’d hate to be a player for them, the crowd is so fast to turn on their own. Makes our meltdowns mid game look like a picnic

    They were definitely doing a lot of sooking. Some nongs behind were continually calling for 50 whenever a Lions player was following their opponent into the ‘encroachment area’ which they are allowed to do

    Carltons kicking was dreadful all night. In fact it was really bad. Their top line players like Walsh and Cripps are close to the worst offenders. If Brissy had kicked straight the it would have been close to 10 goals.

    Yep both of them are front runners like most in the baggers team. McKay in my view is a bit soft.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
