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

Voss, Hird, Buckley in the same boat.

Sheeze - Buckley had a premiership in the bag with 90 seconds on the clock. Average (ish) side at his disposal. Recon he can coach. Odds on to be at GCS I recon - and deliver a finals appearance.

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.

Best part of the game?  Hearing that Carlscum supporters began leaving the ground at 3/4 time

I’m so sorry. I was wrong. My understanding now is that they began leaving mid way through the third quarter. Even better.

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.

Good points @YesitwasaWin4theAges. Footy isn't that complicated. Good footballers make a good coach, great footballers make a great coach. Truth is, Carltank haven't got that many good footballers, let alone great ones. Like numerous other clubs, WCE, Ninethmond and Flogmantle spring to mind, they are paying the wrong players the wrong money. Serves them right.

Most clubs have an inability to accurately assess the quality of their list. Been going on for 100 years. I once heard a very respected senior coach say he didn't get a new job at another club because he told the selection panel that their listed sucked and he'd have to undertake a renovation. That mob is still nowhere near it.

One of the reasons I respect Goody (and I used to be a critic), after 2019 he saw the list needed serious renovation and pruned hard and fast. Spring and summer arrived very quickly after that treatment.

My brother is a big Carlton fan. He went to the match today with his 7 year old son. They had the following exchange:

Son: “I think this is the worst game of football I have ever seen”

Father: “It’s definitely the most frustrating”

Son: “Every game I’ve ever watched is frustrating”

Father “It’s the curse of being a Carlton supporter, mate”

I am so glad kids growing up these days watching the Dees don’t need to go through that anymore.

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. 

Cripps was garbage,I still dont acknowledge him as a worthy or Bonafide Brownlow winner

Love the vision of all the Carlton mongs in the crowd frothing at the mouth. 

Got any pics Rab??

Carlton have doggies, pies, swans and us in their next 4. I don't think they're favourites for any of those games. 

wouldn't it be great if they lost 5 in a row. Certainly, would be fun to watch.

only a few uncertainties this round you'd think, but there's always a chance for upsets

gc17's home record worries me, but their 'outs' are significant - weller is a far, far better player than he gets credit for being 

Woke up to a wonderful day for the Swans cold and wet

This weather will suit them and they love a slog

Carlton are largely a group of talented players or high priced trades (and except for Saad the trades are not living up to the hype nor their price tag. The whole team is pretty much playing their own game and leave the hard work to others. 

They lack cohesion and don't understand the meaning of teamwork or selfless play. 

If they get their act together ie work harder defensively and work for each other, they can be a good team. 

Right now, too many have had it too easy for too long.

I think Lachie Neale would agree with you.

One new finals team must drop out of the 8 next week to maintain the usual historical positon of new finalists after Round 9.  Saints, Crows and Port deserve a shot this year and look like being well coached to get there.

Carlton the one to miss this year I suspect.

Fallout will be fascinating.

Hey PF. The cameraman at the game last night kept panning in on them during the last quarter. I guess 20+ years of stymied self entitlement are starting to show.

I don’t think he wants to Coach again, as he is enjoying the softer life in the media.


Carlton are not a September quality side. Their bottom 6 players are horrible and their  method is so predictable. 
 

Carlton are simply not skilled enough to play ‘cute’ footy. Saad the biggest culprit.

It's amazing what a little push in the back on GF day can achieve.

Just don't lose more than Freo 😉

This sums it up. Their bottom 6 don't run both ways, but I last night the defensive run by the experienced Blues midfield was sub standard. I thought Kennedy showed them up in this regard when he came on. So many times the Lions streamed into their forward 50 with a gathering of Blues players jogging in behind them. 

The biggest hole for the blues is their defence. Weitering aside (I love watching this bloke play) the other 5 seems to lack presence and impact.

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
