    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.

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.
