Very impressed with JVR, he's taking Weitering to the cleaners

    Quality game. I think if we're able to get out the back Carlton are vulnerable but aside from that it's going to be about who wins the most contests.

    Wouldn't call it quality but we have way more upside than them, we should get it done

    Hunter the sloppiest player I’ve ever seen.

    Heart in mouth every time he even picks up the ball as it looks like it will just slip through his fingers.

    Ship him off.... I've had enough

    I’ve never seen the kind of pressure Carlton are dishing up. It’s beyond extraordinary. Playing out of their skins. They can’t possibly keep it up, and when it drops, we’re in. Well done boys, hold your cool.

    Got the same feeling. As bad as we have been with unforced errors, we have absorbed a lot. We can turn it around. I'm not sure Grundy is the answer up fwd.

    Ffs this is how they play every week. [censored] me to death people who don't understand teams or formlines heading into a game. They are the best contested team in the league. They are the best defensive team in the league. You're seeing that.

    Win this and we can chill out the last two games and have a home first final against Collingwood

    The Carlton supporter behind me, I've just about had enough of him. He feels he has to tell out his opinion on every play. If he bags another one of our players I'll scream.

    We better win just to shut him up. 

    Just let him know they haven't made the 8 yet.

    Except the kicking at goal bit, 2 x shanks off the ankle....

    He's been kicking at 70% efficiency, not a major issue for me if he misses a couple.


    Right in this game when we absolutely shouldn't be.

    Carlton playing as good a footy as they can and we are playing average... yet we're only down by 2 points!

    Get some players to lift and we got this.

    But what happens to Grundy then?

    He rucks more and Gawn helps out the defenders

    When?

    Only turned it on with 5 mins to go after watching the Matilda’s. Carlton seems to have the numbers, though this is the sort of grind we like. Wouldn’t want them to string a few together. They are playing well, want the scalp

    Well I don't think we can play much worse and it's only a two point difference.

    If we keep playing our normal game instead of a change up to allow for the comditions we just might!

    Still trying for the clean chains of possessions in greasy conditions.

    Players like ANB & Sparrow looking to take on the tacklers instead of the quick surge kick forward.

    Makes no sense unless the oppo aren't closing and hopeless with their pressure.

    Unfortunately the Blues aren't one of those teams.

    So we either change the way we play to align with the conditions or it will be a coin flip, or worse!

    Will the players get this general message at half time and reset?

    If not why not !!??

    I don’t think it’s knee jerk. I’m just saying, we will definitely use the sub at some point and this is what I would do get the most out of the sub. That’s all. 
    We need to go at least half a quarter before we make a sub. It’s too risky to go this early. 

    Van Rein WTF 25M out 

    My 16 yo would've nailed those.

    What is the twidingly the ball [censored]. Even Trac has stopped that [censored].

    Is this what Mark William's teaches?

    Salem still looks NQR. Seems slow and reactive.

    Ever since I put him in my Fantasy and SC team he's been well off the boil. I've deleted both apps so don't worry he'll come good.

    20 minute mark of this third quarter. 
    Can’t sub off a midfielder this early in case we get an injury.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
