Didn't mind what I saw from Smith. Clearly needs to get more of the ball but played with more aggression than I thought he was capable of. Made Carlton earn a few hard balls.

    It will be good for our players to see a ruthless team in Collingwood up close next week.

    They should learn a lot.

    Famous words by our premiership coach..

     Learnings... 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

    Gosh even after we've won it the commentary were barracking for the Blues.  Looking forward to escaping to a game in Melbourne next week to avoid the inane discussion

    I’ll start with the 4 points. Great. 

    But was that the worst game that has ever been played??

    We need to do something pretty drastic very quickly. Very worried for next week.

    How far are we from 2021??

    Judd McVee fantastic.

    JVR best game.

    Bowey playing his best game of the season when hurt. Very disappointing.

    Langdon best game also.

    McVee! Is he the future skillful midfielder we're looking for? Josh Kelly-esque

    A win was all I wanted after the past two weeks. We were wasteful up forward but the reality is that we dominated general play and Carlton were lucky to be that close all game. 

    Salem had his best game since 2021. Our backline looks so much better when he plays like that. It was good to see Langdon regain some form too.

    A win is a win is a win. Made heavy weather of it but don’t care. It was all about the 4 points tonight. I’ll worry about the pies tomorrow.

    Feels like a loss, I think we played better football in 2018.

    God I hope Petty is back next week.

    Good to see JVR play well considering our forward line is bog atm.

    Gawn: “It was a good game.”

    Petracca: “Carlton are a great side.”

    Gawn and Trac apparently made a bet for who could tell the most boldfaced lie in their post match.

    Almost as bad as the Essendon and Freo games, but at least 4 points. 

    Need a massive lift up against Collingwood.

    In all honesty bar the average kicking for goal that second half is our game. Super tight defence, great at contest, multiple avenues to goal. I enjoyed it

    They don't sing the song for a loss.

    Even though it was ugly I thought we did a few things right. Backline rendered the Blue bums twin towers useless and McKay wasn't that great.

    Really good game from our perspective. Got that solidity behind the ball back. Really good signs.

    Contested possession +148.

    inside 50s +20.

    clearances +9.

    Smashed them all over the ground. I don’t know what most people want from the team. Without looking, I assume it’s just groupthink from the Gameday thread.

    You’re right the stats were favorable.
    The ball use especially forward of centre is what was just really hard to watch. I don’t know if we are tired, or got dragged down to their level, but a better side would really hurt us on turnovers.

    We were lucky they were equally as poor. 

    You take the 4 points and you move on. Because last week I think we were better and we lost, so you gotta take the wins even when they’re ugly.

    Best part of that game was when I went to the bathroom for 10 minutes

    I’m sure the mood in this thread will soon resemble a funeral but I’m personally happy enough to win ugly.
    Tomlinson was ordinary to poor tonight but Lever looked as good as he has in a long time. I’d keep Tommo in until Petty is good to go after the bye. 

    We’ve survived the no-Oliver apocalypse and we just need to beat Collingwood to pump some adrenaline back in our season. Tough ask, but stranger things have happened.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
