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.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
