HTB in the Bombers goal square.... no call.

10 seconds later HTM paid which was debatable.... goal.

Really hard to take this game seriously from a ruling POV

What a circus & the umpiring fraternity are the fully fledged clowns this season.  What are the teaching these guys and how are they overlooking so many obvious interpretations whilst paying less severe ones shortly after?

Many of them momentum builders/killers.

Having said that, the Blues are their own worst enemy.

So many stressed faces coming off at half time.  Whatever is happening with coach <> players certainly isn't making for a 'all for one one for all' environment for them of late.  Sort of reminds me a tad of our MN years a tad.

And shows in their accuracy for goal and/or shots falling short.

    This is atrocious from Carlton

    Peter Wright is a star. Spewing we didn’t try to get him.

    Voss can’t coach. He changed their structure significantly from last week, and they are just wide open down the middle tonight.

    Any side looks good running through the middle with no pressure. It’s embarrassing.

    Given the history of the Carlton football club it’s hard to see Voss being there next year.

    Carlton are obviously playing brand name players who are out of form or not 100% fit.

    They cant get out of the 1980's.

    Their payroll reads like a house of horrors.  Might be 5 or 6 Grundy type contracts. Even Collingwood had to move on one player, Carltons got loads of them.

    They cant sack Voss they'll be a laughing stock. Who would coach them?  Maybe Strop.

    At the end of the day they'll both be [censored] Steve but I reckon their coach might be on firmer ground than Carlton's !!

     

    Is Dravid still their Coach?

    I immediately thought how bloody wanky is that. Didn’t suit the occasion if that’s what they’re chasing.

    Welp the Test Match final’s as good as done with India going down without a fight, and there’s no way on Earth I’d voluntarily watch Essendon win. I might have to join @Jaded No More in watching cute dogs on TikTok.

    I’ve gone down a black hole of watching dog rescue videos and I’m shedding tears like a Carlton supporter right now.

    Is it just me or has Essendon been dropping the ball in tackles regularly all night and no HTB, but they’ve been given about 6 or 7 similar decisions when Carlton drop it?

    • 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, they’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 week’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 ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’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 0–5 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.
