Carlton fans celebrating like they won a flag

I guess when you’re a club that’s been on the bottom for 20 years this is like a flag for you.

    We really miss Petty already. He would have taken a few marks we sorely missed tonight. Maybe in that last minute. 

    Securing top 2 will be tricky now, especially playing a desperate Swans over there in the final round.

    The baggers locked it up well at the end, unfortunately that last call will always be contentious depending on which side of the fence you sit. Not happy Jan! Really just needed to kick a bit straighter. Lot of difference between 8.8 and 10.6

    Well that sucked hard after being on such a high after the Matilda’s game.

    Those three quick goals at the start of the last hurt.

    Can’t wait to hear all about Carlton in the media this week 😒

    Said it last week. Losing Petty will cost us a flag. We are not going to kick the scores we need against quality opposition without a decent power forward.

    JVR’s legs taken from under him.

    The advanced hair treatment has gone to Ray’s head - had some absolute howlers.

    I know the goal line decisions going to be the main talking point but really we have so many problems that need addressing before worrying about that. 
     

    Selection on a greasy/wet night was not great.

    Still love bomving it long to outnumbered or out sized contests.

    Players don’t shepherd for each other, don’t do the hard yards for each other.

    Max whinges more than the whole of England. Also flops around like a fish out of water.

    Salem has some of the worst disposals I’ve seen in a long time. He was once elite at hitting a target now he is elite at panicking and butchering the ball.

    As bizarre as it sounds Petty out might cost us any chance.

    Robbed.

    We didn't play our best and were beaten around the clearance. Carlton players running hard to be everywhere.

    But.... We Gave it everything. Very proud of our players for their effort.

    .We had players tripped. Last goal to Carlton for a push in the back was followed by numerous Melbourne's players just driven face first into the turf.

    We didn't get a HTB all night did we?

    That was not touched. The video review 2001 Dick Smith webcam systems are farcical.

    rooouted.

    Come on Dee supporters dont give them baggers any reason to gloat. JUst nod and say see you in September. There will be lots of nashing of teeth over the last touched call. But games are won over 100 minutes not just one. Both teams were good tonight, it was a great  warm up for the finals. 

    Move on to the Hawks next week

    You wouldn't be saying that if it was a final its a flawed system, just get the decisions you can right that's what the videos for.

    Not sure how they missed that, pretty clearly took him below the knee and it wasn’t a smother. Annoying.

    Should have found a way to win that. On the other hand we could not have been more fumbley or dropped more marks, the other mob will never have so much go right again.  2nd spot is going to be hard to get now unless the Pies can knock off the Lions next week.

    Hell of a game.

    Carlton can win the flag.

    Score review sucks.

    We looked 100 times better once Jordon was off, Hibberd went back and Smith forward similar to what the smart ones here (me) proposed all week because the overall balance was so much better.

    Grundy isn’t a forward but he’s an excellent ruck and stemmed the centre clearance bleeding in the last quarter which ultimately lost us the game.

    You are right on Grundy, was better than Max when in the ruck.

    Thought JVR played his heart out tonight. Such good signs of things to come. 
     

    Still backing us come September.

    Yes we'll miss Petty but need more from mids in stoppages, Vines aside. Hated our cute floaty kicks that get intercepted. Loved Rivers.

    Whether it was touched or not, we'll never know for sure. But we were NOT robbed. Carlton were the better side and but for poor finishing and some great defence by May and Lever would have been five goals ahead by quarter-time. If anyone is looking for blame, just re-run that awful first quarter. I'd just say two things: (1) James Jordon is a long way from  premiership quality. (2) Gawn and Grundy is a same-day mix that has more minuses than plusses.

    FFS umpiring didn’t cost us that game. 
     

    Carlton were hungrier for 99.9% of the contest. Facts.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
