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

This is why they need to have some small degree of success. Maybe losing an elimination final. Just enough to keep Voss in the job for years on end. Imagine what a good coach could do with that list.

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: ā€œI think this is the worst game of football I have ever seenā€

Father: ā€œItā€™s definitely the most frustratingā€

Son: ā€œEvery game Iā€™ve ever watched is frustratingā€

Father ā€œItā€™s the curse of being a Carlton supporter, mateā€

I am so glad kids growing up these days watching the Dees donā€™t need to go through that anymore.

I feel a bit sorry for the kid. Only to a point. Imagine the gloating and rubbing noses in it if they have some success. It's crucial that they waste their talented list and spend another generation in the wilderness.

    Those kids deserve better..better organisations like the MFC.

    Kids will jump on board the Kozzy train!

    Quote of the night

    BT - ā€œMitch Robinson the only player to play 100 games for both clubs.ā€

    Hodge - ā€œAlso the only player to be sacked from both clubs.ā€

    I think Fev did to but seriously he sat in the crowd with both jumpers on with a medal. Honestly. 


    Oh andf if I hear anyone complain about there team or any young child, you have nothng to complain about until you have sat at a ground and watched your team get beaten by 186 points.

    War drums wont be out yet but Voss better get a move on. He wanted the job.

    Apparently Carlton supporters did leave  en masse before and at the end of 3rd qtr. Players also copped boo's, Charming!  Real troopers that lot. lol.

    Pies fans would never leave  before 3qtr time even if 40 points down.

    Theyre just getting warmed up.

    It's a risk, but often a necessary one, to appoint an unproven coach. It's a leap of faith to appoint a coach proven to have no success.

    I can understand recycling Ross Lyon. He took two clubs to grand finals, and but for one bounce of a ball .... whereas Voss, who .... erm ... lemme think ... he, um, well, he .... errrrr ... what's for lunch?

    Let's not let the schadenfreude tempt us into lionising Collingwood. They're still Collingwood no matter the circumstance.

    I can just imagine behind the scenes now, although the renovations at "Taxpayer Park" are not complete, there will be quite conversations with various government agencies regarding putting a roof over their non-AFL ground. Going by todays weather there will be some very cold farmers down there. Well they can leave early to milk the cows. Would love to see Adelaide win as my hatred of Geebung is only 2nd to the druggies.

    To be fair most players get sacked. Very few get to leave on their own terms. 

    These days itā€™s called delisting. Players only get sacked for committing serious outrages, some of which are publicly known but most are swept under the carpet.

    I can't believe BT introduced himself to Josh Dunkleys dad and asked him what his name was.šŸ¤¦

    He didn't remember Andrew's career?

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

    Exactly.  Cripps Cheated the system.  
    And I cannot understand why the maggots love him when he argues every decision and more particularly every non decision.

    Looks like Richmond are playing in an empty MCG.  Last week they had the excuse the game was at Marvel.  This week no excuse at all. 

    100,000+ members.

    More microwaved membership cards.   Or deleted Richmond FC app!!

    Theyā€™ll say itā€™s cold. And it is. It feels like 2 degrees and itā€™s wet. But if I hear one more media commentator complaining about attendance at a Melbourne game while completely ignoring attendance at games of the big clubs, Iā€™ll spew. 
    The reality is that everyone is struggling financially. Going to games isnā€™t cheap even if you have a membership. When your team is slop and the weather is horrible, you make those choices. Letā€™s see how many people rock up to watch Tasmania in the dead of winter once the shine has disappeared and theyā€™re on the bottom.

    Richmondā€™s skill out of the back is Melbournesque 08-09, 12-13.

    Feel a bit sorry for Andrew Gaff. Could've played in a VFL premiership with us last year if he hadn't belted Andy Brayshaw in the gob.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, theyā€™re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this weekā€™s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckmanā€™s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipperā€™s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0ā€“5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
