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

    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.

    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?

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
