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: “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.

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 - “Mitch Robinson the only player to play 100 games for both clubs.”

Hodge - “Also the only player to be sacked from both clubs.”

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 it’s called delisting. Players only get sacked for committing serious outrages, some of which are publicly known but most are swept under the carpet.

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!!

They’ll say it’s cold. And it is. It feels like 2 degrees and it’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, I’ll spew. 
The reality is that everyone is struggling financially. Going to games isn’t cheap even if you have a membership. When your team is slop and the weather is horrible, you make those choices. Let’s see how many people rock up to watch Tasmania in the dead of winter once the shine has disappeared and they’re on the bottom.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89
