The No Clues Blues

Bless their little hearts eh.....

To be fair, I've seen many posters on Demonland arguing that players coming back from injury should be held over for one more week to make sure they are fully fit.

I have no interest in fairness to the Scum. None.

Their inference was "panic"

We've actually been SUPER  cautious.

I'm looking forward to the followup text post match after Clarry's had 40 and kicked 3 "I really didn't see that coming"

Hibbo subbed on. Goes back.

Clarry "underdone" goes forward and the ball is locked inside our forward 50 because Carlton can't win a stoppage.

Kosi kicks 3 as a result.

Carlton cries.

Happiness.

Like a good nibling, I've followed Uncle BBO's directive, got on the hazmat suit and waded through the Bluebaggers' Big Footy forum...

 

The supporters keen on NEW Carlton...

Please bookmark this: WE WILL GO THROUGH THE REMAINING GAMES OF 2023 UNDEFEATED.
Response:  You’re a bit late to the party, but ok

Further response: 98% here thought we won’t be playing finals.  Just saying….

 

Our team is full of confidence & buying into a beautifully balanced gameplan.  Importantly - playing at the G, a ground we love in front of a massive Carlton Home Crowd.  The Oppo's have a dodgy forward line, devoid of quality marking threats - granted they have a few handy smalls!  They are spluttering along - behind Vs North for 1/2 the game last week.

 

Winning this would be one of the biggest statement wins this century. It would make us premiership favourite, or equal premiership favourite ... All the bad luck, all the things which have gone wrong all the injuries and all the bottom end finishes over the last 20 years, if any side is due for some luck it's us. Roll into the finals series with a fit list and all our stars available then good luck to anyone in stopping us.

 

And the unconverted...

We can't win!

Response:  is that you Stephen May?

 

Demons by 34 points ... Don't worry, all is not lost, we will meet them in the last 2 weeks of the finals and with our players back, it will be a different story. The winner of this game is almost premiership favourite

 

On intensity and momentum swings...

There was enough evidence to believe we can sustain the pressure and intensity for four quarters, but could the Saints? Turns out they couldn't.
Now I ask again, can the Dees bring the intensity for 4 full quarters? They bloody better, because we will.

Dees havent been flash in the last two games however having so much quality out against a bonafide top 2/4 side is going to be difficult but we are talking about the NEW Carlton.

Melbourne would have to play close to four solid quarters to beat us I reckon … they tend to fade in and out of games … I think we’ll jump out of the blocks quickly and they won’t catch us

 

Someone thinks Bigfooty is the only forum in town...

Judging by the measly 43 contributions to the game thread on the Melbourne board, I would say we can aim at making up a massive chunk of the crowd and spurring the lads on again.

Response:  Hoping for a big dump of snow at Falls and Buller this week.

Further response:  Due to their recent success, they now do ski season in August to be back by finals.

 

They mainly focused on their own players, but some fun posts are...

Must sit on picket and rough him up.  Put him in a cage with Crippa for pre game warm up ??

Up againt man mountain Gawn, some people want to drop Pitto for JSOS? No chance.

Gawn the X factor - Pitto to batter him fairly, but incessantly (he doesn't like that)....

Huge opportunity this weekend to cause havoc and fear in the top 4 teams' heads.

Stopping Petracca is not realistic, just hope he doesn't murder us ... Plenty of other things to consider against Melbourne, too. Gawn is a beast, so both TDK and Pitto need to be up for that. May could totally blanket Charlie, so he'll need to get on his bike and be selfless. Kozzie is electric and only needs a sniff and Melksham is the type to break our hearts - and has done it before!

 

Don't even know what's happening here...

One of the many reasons I hate Melbourne is because the West Perth Football Club, mortal enemies of my beloved East Perth the home of Chris Judd in his one sublime game for us when he was three classes above every other player on the ground and Syd Jackson have stolen Melbourne's God awful club song, I only wish I could be there on saturday, do some screaming for me folks and lets have a win.

On Oliver being back...

Hope he plays, awesome footballer and wish we’d gone through with the poaching attempt, but he hasn’t played for 3 months and just won’t be able to play his normal role to anything near his ceiling.
Just saw a clip on AFL360, he hasn’t completed one single training session yet. From his own mouth

Response: He literally couldn’t even put a sentence together.  He sounds like my brother after he tried to take enough acid to travel to another dimension.

Clayton Oliver is most likely back this week.  I honestly think he should switch codes to Union. The Wallabies need all the bloody good throwers they can get 🙂

Oliver might be back but has had a long layoff and might be nervous. 

 

re the Saints v Blues game...

It was like Muhamad Ali taking punches against the ropes for the first 5 rounds, then comes out and unleashes his special combination punches for the knock out.  I am trusting we can do the same to the Demons.

 

My favourite...

Melksham also sees it as his God given right to ice games against us too. I fear he'll be up for that again.

My head is spinning round like in Exorcist in a neat, and excoriating, replication of all those Blues fans’ comments

 Carlton and surrounds does have some decent culinary spots ... just off the top of my head ... Carlton Wine Room, King & Godfree, DOC, Abla's, Kazuki's, Etta, La Luna ...

Cheers for the update. Is your avatar post '64?  Only time I saw RDB play was at Princess Park just prior to his retirement as captain coach. On tonight's appearance at the 'G to quote PJK ‘Can a soufflé rise twice?’

Yes, the avatar is RDB from post 1964, from his Carlton days 😊 He played before my time but you can't help but admire what the man achieved in footy and he arguably ushered in a new era of modern football in the 60s and 70s in several ways.

75% of Clayton Oliver is Tom Green.


Carlton of 2023 isn't part of history until they create history.

Think i might duck down to Lygon St before the game for a Lasagna Petracca with some Olivers..

Perfect choice! You'll feel inwardly strengthened for the game.

All in all, not as insufferable as I thought they would have been. Maybe after years of getting ahead of themselves, they’re starting to learn?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
