Carlton v West Coast

Five and a half minutes in and Carlton are 26 points to 0 and have had 43 possessions to 8.

186 challenger on the cards?

 

Can’t wait for 20 teams.

    How much longer before the West Coast administration realises that the players are simply not playing for their coach? And when that happens, inevitably, the coach goes.

    A new coach doesn’t magically make this disaster any better. Their list is cooked. Absolutely stuffed.

    Carlton will end up with one of the highest % in the comp. Didnt they massacre the Eagles just a while ago in Perth ffs?

    They'll go past our % before this debacle of a game is over.

    Carlton are going to get a nice little % booster. 

    West Coast still have talented players in this team including some that are premiership players.

    They have so much folding stuff they aren't concerned.

    It will be more the peer pressure coming from the AFL hierarchy.

    At some point their concerns about how it impacts the look of the game from a broadcasting rights perspective will come to the surface.

    The existence of a stuffed fixture and teams like North and West Coast are why I think a judicious wild card round might actually be a good thing. It would stop teams with a soft draw sliding into 8th based on clubbing an ammo-level side.

    Amazingly bad administration at so many levels.

    Nic Nat should have been paid out last season and the rebuild begun as one example

    I think the admin are well aware that Simpson is coaching the team in a way that will give them the best possible draft picks at the end of the season.

    108 point win over them in round 7.

    Charlie kicked 9 that day and already has 6 half way through the second quarter. Compromises the Coleman a bit. Percentage not much of a concern for us considering there draw earlier but chance to pass the cats.

    I thought that no team could get worse than Melbourne of 2013 but I guess I was wrong there.

    And just remember the [censored] Eagles supporters used to give us back then, I think it’s fantastic

    The payout figure on his contract to do it this year is about $3m and that comes out of the softsap, if they did that, think of how many support staff they'll lose.

    I'm down at Harry Trott oval in Albert Park watching the Jared Rivers coached Collegians against Old Xavs. Collegians 10.10.70 to Xavs 1.3.9, putting on quite the display.

    and with taxes for going over the soft cap, the figure is closer to $7m.

    Nic Nat is really the forgotten footballer. Honestly I just think of all the hype when he played and now can't get the body right.

    Hype is right. He was a talent but his impact on games rarely matched the chatter.

    More generally, it's heart warming to see the Eagles so utterly bereft, both of the players they do have, and the young talent they don't.

    Long may they rot. It's just a shame we don't get to even the score somewhat by playing them twice this year.

    • 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.

      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.
