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.

    For mine:

    Hibbo on

    Smith forward

    JJ off

    Yes.

    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.

    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.

    • 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.
