Plus they have KP. It is by far the biggest home ground advantage in the comp. 

Not forgetting they had the greatest luck getting Ablett , scarlett and hawkins  in father son rule  which is now changed

    The word is hubris. Total, self-absorbed arrogance to rest so many starting 22 players believing the win was already in the bag. I LOATHE Carlton but glad they won tonight.

    It's a pity more Essendon supporters can't be there to witness this.

    Same. Hit him in the head. Not a good look.

    Even if the first two were injured, which is definitely possible, why would you make 7 changes, four of which are unforced? Seems idiotic and it was.

    That’s usually a fine, but given the fixture it looks more like a week to me.

    Particularly because the bombers have eagles and north coming up so any percentage loss now is good.

    Commentators talking like Geelong have the flag sewn up. 

    The sickening love for that side from the media makes me want to vomit. They have been bog ordinary this year. Let’s see how they go against Brisbane, Port and Pies.

    Essendon might play finals by default.

    They are going to get flogged in the first week - looking forward to it!

    Very risky playing with form like that IMO.

    Curious, why do you say that? From my perspective, those 7 players all get a week to rest, recuperate, and get some time off, to avoid knocks (and then ON) in to the legs... They had to fit it in somewhere once Top 2 was 'sewn' up, at least hopefully from their perspective.

    Another 5-7 will come back (and out) this week and freshen up some others without losing continuity.

    We'll still beat them though :)

    Think I said this a couple of weeks ago, but Cats are our biggest threat to 4th place. Only saving grace is that they play Collingwood, Brisbane at the Gabba and Port (but at GMHBA) in the last 6 weeks.

    True, and we would need to drop possibly 3 games, can’t see that happening

    If the Cats take our place in the 4, they can have it and we can all think about 2024 - because we would have been terrible in the last 6 weeks if that happens.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
