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.

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.
